milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. the release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...

b ackground: l eishmania is an intracellular parasite infecting humans and many wild and domestic animals. recent studies have suggested an important role for cytotoxic t cells against leishmania . peptide-based vaccines targeting short sequences derived from known immunogenic proteins have been shown to elicit cellular immune responses against disparate pathogens. m ethods: we predicted four h...

purpose: to evaluate colostrum total protein differences between left and right breasts and between mothers of boy and girl infants. materials and methods: a cross sectional study for delivery was carried out on 30 boy-delivered and 30 girl-delivered mothers aged 16 to 36 years, conducted at the izadi and al-zahra hospitals in qom city, iran. colostrum was collected from both breasts by manual ...

The possibility of chemical modification of peptides and proteins under the condition of proteolytic digestions and FABMS analysis was investigated. The results ;indicate that among the amino acid constituents of peptides and proteins: serinefcysteine, and cystine are the most sensitive residues which undergo chemical modificadons under the exprimenta1 conditions. The chemical modification ...

Snake venom is a complex mixture of proteins, peptides, enzymes, carbohydrates, and minerals. They contain a variety of chemicals with pharmacological and toxicological properties. The innate immune system is the first line of defense against toxins and microbes. Antibacterial and anticancer proteins produced by snake venom have recently attracted significant attention due to their relevance to...

background and objective: chlorella vulgaris is a multi-cellular edible algal species with abundant proteins. extraction of high value protein fractions for pharmaceutical and nutritional applications can significantly increase the commercial value of microalga biomasses. there is no known report on the anticancer peptides derived from the chlorella vulgaris abundant protein. materials and meth...

Cell-surface display is the expression of peptides and proteins on the surface of living cells by fusing them tofunctional components of cells which are exposed to the environment of cells. This strategy can be carriedout using different surface proteins of cells as anchoring motifs and different proteins from different sourcesas a passenger protein. It is a promising strategy...

  Scorpion venoms contain of variety of peptides toxic to mammals ، insects and crustaceans. Toxic peptides are the main factors in scorpion venom causing toxicity, (their amount being 1-3%of total venom.). Most of the scorpion toxins have been isolated from the venoms of scorpions in the family Buthidae. The scorpion Buthotus Schach belonging to the Buthidae family is widely found in the weste...
