A significant impairment in growth rate, food efficiency and weight of the gastrocnemius muscle was observed in rats fed a raw legume as the source of protein compared to casein-fed animals. No appreciable differences in chemical composition of the carcass were found. The source of d...
Explain the basic structure of proteins. Give at least two major functions. Proteins: Proteins can be referred to as the most versatile biological polymers found in the human body. They are essential nutrient for human body and act as fuel source. ...
aTime-lapse images of PpRopGAP1 fused with the bright green fluorescent protein mNeonGreen (mNG, green) and actin labeled with Lifeact-mCherry (magenta). Note that PpRopGAP1 (green) exhibits a low-intensity area at the apex near the cytoplasmic actin foci (star) and reorients its position...
Post-translational modifications diversify protein functions and dynamically coordinate their signalling networks, influencing most aspects of cell physiology. Nevertheless, their genetic regulation or influence on complex traits is not fully understood. Here, we compare the genetic regulation of the same PTM...
Mammalian embryos are unlike those of any other organism as they must grow within the mother's body. While other animal embryos grow outside the mother, their embryonic cells can get right to work accepting assignments, such as head, tail or vital organ.

Cereals and their derived products are the most important food source for humans and feed for animals worldwide. This manuscript is a state of the art review of the literature over the last ten years on ochratoxin A and fumonisin B1 mycotoxins in these products in Europe as well as their to...
Further comparison of putative orthologous protein clusters betweenP.pacificasedimenti, P.pacificagyrus,P.camemberti, andP.solitumrevealed that all species shared 9458 clusters (Fig.5b).P.pacificasedimentiandP.solitumshared 624 clusters andP.pacificagyrusandP.camembertishared 764. Our two isolates sh...
n = 6 mice, **P < 0.01, two tailed paired Student’s t-test. All data shown as means ± s.e.m. Source data including statistics are provided as a Source Date file. Full size image We found that activation of both aBLA and pBLA inputs increased the firing frequency ...
It is estimated that two-thirds of all proteins in higher organisms are composed of multiple domains, many of them containing discontinuous folds. However, to date, most in vitro protein folding studies have focused on small, single-domain proteins. As a
