Protein properties, effects

The effect of formalin-treatment on the structural properties of RNase A was examined using circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry. A brief introduction to CD spectropolarimetry is provided in Section 15.15.2 for those readers unfamiliar with this biophysical method. The secondary structure of RNase A consists of one long four-stranded anti-parallel p-sheet and three short a-helixes,44 which places RNase A in the a + p structural class of proteins. The effect of a 9-day incubation of RNase A (6.5mg/mL) in 10% formalin on the protein secondary structure was examined with CD spectropolarimetry in the far-UV region (170-240nm) as shown in Figure 15.6a. The resulting...

In an interesting application of this result, a photoswitchable unit has been incorporated by covalent linkage into a protein molecule (92JA3150). This has resulted in the ability to photoregulate the binding properties of the protein by effecting minor perturbations in its conformations. 

The above evidence shows that flavonoids can interact and modulate the activity of several membrane proteins. These effects can in part explain the beneficial health properties of flavonoids and could also help develop new therapeutic approaches for major human diseases. 

More details of the chemical modification of casein and other food proteins with carboxyl-amino acid anhydrides will be published elsewhere. Depending on the distribution and length of copolymers of methionine covalently linked to proteins, distinct effects on functional and nutritional properties of the modified proteins are expected. 

Green Fluorescent Protein is involved in the jellyfish, Aequorea Victoria [11, 92-95] and has very efficient emission property. It is now widely used as an excellent molecular marker in various fields of molecular biology [12, 96], There are theoretical studies investigating spectroscopy [97-104], potential surface of the excited state [105-107], and protein environmental effect [35, 101, 104, 108-110].

Hershberger et al. [187] discovered in 1953 that although 19-nor-testosterone and other 19-nor analogs exhibit only relatively weak androgenic properties the protein anabolic effects and myotrophic effects were of the same order of magnitude as those of testosterone. Since the anabolic-androgenic ratio of the 19-nortestosterone derivatives was very favorable, this discovery opened a new field of anabolic agents.

The properties of three proteins, cytochrome-c, carboxypeptidase and bovine albumin were used to evaluate the model. The molecular weight and diffusion coefficient of each protein is listed in Table 1 (22). These molecular weight values represent the molecular weight range typical of many proteins. The effect of various operating and column parameters on the band broadening for each of these proteins as well as the resolution between proteins was investigated.
