Proteins control

To be able to perform their biological function, proteins fold into one or more specific spatial conformations, driven by a number of non-covalent interactions, including

Generally proteins fold into one of three broad structural classes globular, fibrous or membrane proteins. 

Globular proteins are compactly folded and coiled almost all are water-soluble and many are enzymes. 

Protein folding is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure.

High-speed hammer or pin mills result in some selective grinding. Such mills combined with air classification can produce fractions with controlled protein content. An example of such a combination is a Bauer hurricane hammer mill combined with the Alpine Mikroplex superfine classifier. Flour with different protein content is needed for... 

The three selectins are related both structurally and functionally. They are transmembrane proteins, with an N-terminal C-type actin domain, followed by an EGF repeat and a variable number of complement control protein (CCP) domains. Selectins bind carbohydrates, which are present in various glycoproteins. 

Fields et al. [67] first demonstrated evolution of bradykinin in HAE plasma even if an initiating surface is absent indicating seemingly spontaneous activation of the kinin-forming cascade in the absence of this control protein. This work also disproved...

Eaff It would be useful to compare the cell cycle control proteins in cells that will never divide again with a cell that has transiently withdrawn from the cell cycle. Is the withdrawal from the cell cycle the same in both cells It would be helpful to know.

Molecular imprinting is not limited to organic polymer matrices, but can also be applied to silica-based materials and even proteins. Proteins freeze-dried in the presence of a transition state analogue as template have been used successfully as catalysts, e.g., for the dehydrofluorination of a fluorobutanone. For instance, lyophilized 3-lactoglobulin imprinted in this manner with N-isopropyl-N-ni-trobenzyl-amine could accelerate the dehydrofluorination by a factor of 3.27 compared to the non-imprinted protein see Table 5 [62]. In a similar procedure, BSA was imprinted with N-methyl-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)-S-aminovaleric acid and showed an enhancement of the catalytic effect by a factor of 3.3 compared to the control protein for the same reaction see Table 5 [113].

Other receptors are soluble proteins that exist in the cell cytoplasm. When complexed with their signaling molecules or ligands, they migrate to the nucleus where the receptor ligand complex binds specifically to sites on the nuclear DNA and controls protein synthesis.
