crystalline arrays of proteinaceous subunits forming surface layers (s-layers) are now recognized as one of the most common outermost cell envelope components of prokaryotic organisms. the surface layer protein of lactobacillus acidophilus atcc4356 is composed of a single species of protein of apparent molecular weight of 43-46 kda. considering the lactobacillus acidophilus atcc4356 having the ...

introduction: manipulation of protein stability is important for understanding the principles that govern protein thermostability, both in basic research and industrial applications. various data mining techniques exist for prediction of thermostable proteins. furthermore, ann methods have attracted significant attention for prediction of thermostability, because they constitute an appropriate ...

Protein isolate is used in the food industry in order to process and stabilise food foams. Thereforethere has been a great deal of interest and research in order to understand the effect of processingparameters on the functional properties of the isolate. The major purpose of this research is to studythe foamability of the different proteins - starch nano-particle system. The results from exper...

bacteriorhodopsin (br) is the light harvesting and photoactive proton pump found in the membrane of a salt marsh bacteria. this protein has significant potential to use in optical computing and memory devices due to unique intrinsic physical properties of photo and bioelectric. all these features make br one of the most promising protein candidates in protein memories. protein memory is a kind ...

It is well-known that the typical protein’s three-dimensional structure is relatively unstable in harsh conditions. A practical approach to maintain the folded state and thus improve the stability and activity of proteins in unusual circumstances is to directly apply stabilizing substances such as osmolytes to the protein-containing solutions. Osmolytes as natural occurring organic molecules ty...
