Amino acids special issue ‘Protein interactions in the virus–host relationship’

Preface of Special Issue “Protein-Ligand Interactions”

When we consider investigating function of macromole-cules, it is hardly possible to draw an experiment map without taking interactions of other molecules (ligands) into account, whether they could be metal ion, ATP, hormone, carbohydrate, lipid, nucleic acid, DNA, RNA, peptide and protein. In other words, no biological function can be elucidated without molecular interactions. Therefore, the s...

Nutritional Interactions of Amino Acids

Nutritional interactions of amino acids influence the efficiency with which limiting amino acids are used for growth and other productive purposes. They are responsible for the increase in requirement for essential amino acids as dietary protein increases and may confound the results of growth assays of amino acid availability. The mechanism by which these interactions occur is not fully elucid...

Comparison of Essential and Non Essential Amino Acids in the Microbial Protein of Pleurotus Florida from the Lignocellulosic Wastes

Introduction: Cereal straws contain Cellulose, Hemicelluloses and Lignin and are most available renewable biopolymers. White rot fungi is used to convert these wastes into microbial protein. Pleurotus Florida are having the most delignification ability amongst other micro-organisms. We determined the amounts of protein, essential and non essential amino acids of the produced microbial protein f...
