What are the monomer "building blocks" that make up proteins? Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not. What are the macromolecules DNA and RNA referred to as? What type of macromolecule is an enzyme? Which one of the common elements is NOT found in all four macromole...
Lipids create a unique type of polymer, known for being a key component of cell membranes and hormones. Where most polymers are long chains of identical, repeating carbon-containing molecules known as monomers, lipid polymers contain an additional, nonidentical molecule attached to each monomer chain...
(Agilent Technologies), which was applied for the monomer studies. The genes were inserted in the pDS12-RBSII vector and overexpressed overnight inEscherichia colistrain JM101, followed by isolation of the apoprotein according to established protocols57. The apoprotein was reconstituted to monomeric ...
PulDΔ S28–42/259–598 degradation results in multiple bands below the multimer (MutrΔ S); the approximate position of the monomer is indicated (MotrΔ S). (d) Mixed multimer formation between PulD28–42/259–660 and and PulDfl in equimolar ratios in the presence of 53 ...
2020b), and may be due to the uncoupling of eNOS, thereby switching the eNOS dimer to a superoxide anion-generating monomer (Franssen et al. 2016; Kolijn et al. 2020b). Fig. 4 Scheme for the signaling pathways of endothelial cell in diseased heart under oxidative (right) and healthy (...
for IgG, at concentrations of 50 and 100 mg/mL, reduced monomer content with proper binding activity was observed at high temperatures and after 12-month storage. At the same time, the monomer content was decreased under the same condition. The higher IgG concentration (200 mg/mL) had ...
The monomer of 15-hydroxy stearate (Solutol® HS15) increases the corneal penetration of drugs, which may be associated with its distribution within the bilayer membranes of corneal epithelial cells. It can disrupt the order of phospholipid accumulation and create gaps that facilitate the passage ...
They all possess a soluble and globular domain that encapsulates a lipid monomer and they specifically bind and transport a wide range of lipids. Here, we present the most recent discoveries in the functions and physiological roles of LTPs, which have expanded the playground of lipids into the ...
The folded fraction was calculated using only the monomer bands as folded/(folded + unfolded). (The inclusion of higher order bands as unfolded species or by normalizing folding against the boiled sample made no appreciable difference to the folded fraction, in contrast to the study reported...
S5h). However, in PBS containing 500 mM NaCl, the protein was eluted in a position similar to that of the 14-kDa lysozyme, close to the molecular weight of the monomer (10 kDa; Supplementary Fig. S5i). These data suggest that the CIDE-N domain of Fsp27 forms a dimer, which ...
