Digging for Buried Amino Acids Unearths New Protein Quality Control Treasure.

چکیده
Proteins rely on three-dimensional structure for function, yet many proteins are marginally stable and prone to misfolding. In this issue of Structure, Brock et al. (2015) present a novel computational modeling method to gain insights into protein stability and misfolding.

Comparison of Essential and Non Essential Amino Acids in the Microbial Protein of Pleurotus Florida from the Lignocellulosic Wastes
Introduction: Cereal straws contain Cellulose, Hemicelluloses and Lignin and are most available renewable biopolymers. White rot fungi is used to convert these wastes into microbial protein. Pleurotus Florida are having the most delignification ability amongst other micro-organisms. We determined the amounts of protein, essential and non essential amino acids of the produced microbial protein f...
متن کاملPromoted growth and improved quality of Gerbera jamesonni L. flowers using exogenous application of amino acids
Commercially available amino acids mixtures have several advantages such as enhancing assimilation of fertilizer, facilitating uptake of water and nutrients and improving photosynthesis of plants. To investigate the response of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonni L.) flowers ‘Saltino’ to foliar application of a mixture of 19 essential amino acids (0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 mg L-1) and ammonium nitrate (200 mg...
متن کاملShort communication:Influence of vacuum packaging and frozen storage time on fatty acids, amino acids and ω -3/ ω-6 ratio of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
In this study rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets were vacuum packed, frozen and stored at -18°C and the effect of this packaging method on proximate composition, fatty acids and amino acid profile and their changes compared to control conditions during 9 months of storage were studied. The results showed that 18 fatty acids were identified. The unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) were 56.77 ...
متن کاملA Novel Evaluation of Residue and Protein Volumes by Means of Laguerre Tessellation
Amino acids control the protein folding process and maintain its functional fold. This study underlines the interest of the Laguerre tessellation to determine relevant amino acid volumes in proteins. Previous studies used a limited number of proteins and only buried residues. The present computations improve the method and results on three main points: (i) a large, high-quality updated and refi...
متن کاملEffect of Various Levels of Protein in Diet Based on Total and Digestible Amino Acids on Performance of Cobb Strain Broilers
In order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from Cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. Treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...
