Wheat protein is comprised of two key proteins: gliadin and glutenin, and together they make gluten, which is important for the strength and elastic properties of wheat-based products. Maize, sorghum, and millet are other important sources of cereal proteins which contain 10%, 8–12%, and 11...
The FDA has approved drugs for ∼400 human proteins248, but there are about 3000 proteins associated with disease. There are several reasons for the fact that most disease-related proteins have no corresponding drugs: first, some proteins may have multiple functions and catalytic domain structures...
For years, dietitians and doctors have been telling Americans that using meat sparingly is best and focusing on plant-based foods can offer a range of health benefits. But getting enough protein while being on aplant-based dietis also a worry for some. So how do you balance those concerns?
The study also pinpointed 30 distinct proteins that, regardless of sleep and meal timing, vary depending upon what internal circadian time it is. The findings could open the door for developing new treatments for night shift workers, who make up about 20 percent of the global workforce and ar...

MDVs were shown to transport various mitochondrial proteins to peroxisomes where they fuse with a subset, estimated to make up around 10% of the peroxisomes [51, 52]. Thus, actual mitochondria-targeted (or predicted) proteins may localize in part via MDVs to peroxisomes. Since the aforementioned...
Correlations between observed and predicted relative abundances for smaller numbers of proteins that make up complexes can also be documented. In some cases negative correlations may be supported, such as for the DASH complex (microtubule), translation initiation factor, and the early Golgi SNARE ...
Currently, the costs of cell culture make up 55 to 95 percent of cell-based meat and dairy products. That’s why we’re working quickly to commercialize the growth factors that support cell growth. This will be a game changer in enabling cell-based meat companies to accelerat...
The other reason for the rise in popularity of plant-based proteins is the environmental concerns that have been brought about by livestock agriculture. This concern mainly stems from three risks posed by the meat industries. Firstly, lots of natural environments are turned into feeding sources for...
