The interaction of 12 phenoxyacetic acid derivatives with human and serum albumin as well as with egg albumin was studied by charge-transfer reversed-phase (RP) thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and the relative strength of interaction was calculated. Each phenoxyacetic acid derivative interacted with human and bovine serum albumins whereas no interaction was observed with egg albumin. Stepwise r...

Hypoalbuminemia is a condition where blood albumin levels are less than 3.5 g/dL. In this condition, there will be disruption to the physiological processes in body. There relationship between low with an increased risk of infectious complications, high mortality rate hospitalized patients, both non-surgical and surgical patients. To restore important function albumin, intervention needed incre...

Background Alzheimer’s Disease (A.D.) is a multifactorial process. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have been correlated with disease development1. Additionally, high concentrations of antibodies against the food derived antigens egg-albumin and bovine casein, detected in patients preliminary research presented by our team, previously (AAIC 2018). In present study, casein as well AGEs wer...

The interaction between enzymes and their substrates to form intermediate complexes has long been of interest. We have found that when pepsin and egg albumin are mixed in solution at about pH 4 a precipitate forms. The influence of protein and of ion concentrations on the amount of precipitate so formed has been studied. It has been found that the precipitate dissolves at higher ionic concentra...

1. The denaturation rate of partially dried crystallizable egg albumin is greatly decreased by decreasing its water content. 2. The temperature of denaturation, defined as the temperature at which half of the protein becomes insoluble in distilled water after a definite time of heating, is a linear function of the relative humidity with which the protein is in equilibrium. 3. By applying the Ar...

coagulate bovine plasma albumin, 'y-globulin and egg albumin to form opaque gels at room temperature and neutrality. The reaction with bovine plasma albumin is many times more rapid than with the other two proteins. Gels so formed rapidly dissolve in concentrated solutions of amides such as urea. The capacity of albumin to form this type of gel is decreased by partial acetylation of the albumin...

1. Highly purified rabbit Type III pneumococcus anticarbohydrate proved to be homogeneous in the ultracentrifuge and its sedimentation constant, 7.0.10(-13), did not differ from that of the principal component of normal rabbit globulin or of immune rabbit globulin containing up to 50 per cent of anti-egg albumin. The molecular weight of antibody in the rabbit is therefore probably very close to...

This paper describes the reactions between the reducing groups of denatured egg albumin and ferricyanide. Measurements have been made of the effects on the amount of ferricyanide reduced of varying the time, temperature, and pH of the reaction, and the concentration of ferricyanide; of adding the synthetic detergent, Duponol PC; and of treating the denatured protein before the ferricyanide reac...
