Thermal aggregation of egg white proteins as affected by saccharides
Thermal characteristics of egg white proteins (EWP) may differ in the presence of saccharides. Therefore, the influence of saccharides including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), pectin, sucrose and maltodextrin and heating time on physicochemical characteristics of EWP as a whole were studied. Investigation of Heat Coagulation Time (HCT), solubility, turbidity and protein secondary structure of h...
متن کاملDirected evolution of a cellobiose utilization pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by simultaneously engineering multiple proteins
BACKGROUND The optimization of metabolic pathways is critical for efficient and economical production of biofuels and specialty chemicals. One such significant pathway is the cellobiose utilization pathway, identified as a promising route in biomass utilization. Here we describe the optimization of cellobiose consumption and ethanol productivity by simultaneously engineering both proteins of th...
متن کاملOptimizing the search algorithm for protein engineering by directed evolution.
An in silico protein model based on the Kauffman NK-landscape, where N is the number of variable positions in a protein and K is the degree of coupling between variable positions, was used to compare alternative search strategies for directed evolution. A simple genetic algorithm (GA) was used to model the performance of a standard DNA shuffling protocol. The search effectiveness of the GA was ...
متن کاملImproved drug-like properties of therapeutic proteins by directed evolution
Many natural human proteins have functional properties that make them useful as therapeutic drugs. However, not all these proteins are compatible with large-scale manufacturing processes or sufficiently stable to be stored for long periods prior to use. In this study, we focus on small four-helix bundle proteins and employ ribosome display in conjunction with three parallel selection pressures ...
متن کاملDirected evolution of mammalian anti-apoptosis proteins by somatic hypermutation.
Recently, researchers have created novel fluorescent proteins by harnessing the somatic hypermutation ability of B cells. In this study, we examined if this approach could be used to evolve a non-fluorescent protein, namely the anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-x(L), using the Ramos B-cell line. After demonstrating that Ramos cells were capable of mutating a heterologous bcl-x(L) transgene, the cells ...
