This study assessed chemical components and enzymatic hydrolysis of bee pollen (BP) as an approach to modify its structure generate bioactive peptides which can be used functional ingredients. The food grade proteases Alcalase 2.4L Protamex were at optimized parameters. degree (DH), protein content molecular mass (MM) distribution the soluble in hydrolysates determined indicators for hydrolysis...

The intimate association of the liver with the maintenance of normal serum proteins is well established. An increase in serum globulin, with inversion of the albumin-globulin ratio, is a common finding in cirrhosis of the liver, but normal serum proteins are observed frequently in the acute parenchymatous diseases of the liver like catarrhal jaundice and arsenical hepatitis (1). The serum prote...

Cumulative knowledge of the protein composition of plasma and newer techniques for specificanalysisof proteins have made obsolete most flocculationtests, the albumin:globulin ratio,scanning diagrams, and most determinations of electrophoretic fractions. More clinically relevant information about the serum protein composition is obtained by critical visual evaluation of the protein bands obtaine...

In previous publications from this laboratory, we have investigated the anomalous behavior of human serum albumin (l), various animal albumins (2) and human -y-globulin (3) in the Tiselius electrophoresis apparatus at acid pH. Because of increasing interest in the behavior of proteins in the acid region below their isoelectric point, this phenomenon has been receiving increasing attention from ...
