Protein plant, overview

This essay was written in an attempt to explain our overview of primary cell walls and to reach consensus on the nomenclature of primary cell wall polysaccharides. We present evidence supporting the hypothesis that cellulose, xyloglucan, arabinoxylan, homogalacturonan, RG-I, and RG-II are the six polysaccharides common to all primary cell walls of higher plants. In many cells, these six polysaccharides account for all or nearly all of the primary wall polysaccharides. Like the physically interacting proteins that constitute the electron transport machinery of mitochondria, the structures of the six patently ubiquitous polysaccharides of primary cell walls have been conserved during evolution. Indeed, we hypothesize that the common set of six structural polysaccharides of primary cell walls have been structurally... 

While biopharmaceuticals are typically proteins derived from the human body, most conventional drugs have been obtained from sources outside the body (e.g. plant and microbial metabolites, synthetic chemicals, etc.). Although they do not form the focus of this text, a brief overview of strategies adopted in the discovery of such non-biopharmaceuticaF drugs is appropriate, and is summarized later in this chapter. 

All plant foods and superfruits contain carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Here is a quick overview of why plants contain them, what they mean, and how consuming them in superfruits allows us to benefit from them. 

The purpose of this volume is to draw together summaries of major research studies that have dealt with the behavior of proteins at low temperatures, and to thereby stimulate additional research in this area. The book is organized to provide an "overview chapter followed by chapters on low temperature behavior of proteins in simple systems, in plant tissues, and in animal tissues. 

There are developments from the legislators to enlarge this list of products for which the CP will be mandatory, e.g., gene therapy products as well as DNA vaccines and recombinant proteins from transgenic plants or animals. Draft guidehnes and Points to Consider have aheady been circulated from the authorities. For a comprehensive overview, see [2-4].
