Biological Applications of Protein Splicing
Protein splicing is a naturally occurring process in which a protein editor, called an intein, performs a molecular disappearing act by cutting itself out of a host protein in a traceless manner. In the two decades since its discovery, protein splicing has been harnessed for the development of several protein-engineering methods. Collectively, these technologies help bridge the fields of chemis...
متن کاملBiotechnological Applications of Transglutaminases
In nature, transglutaminases catalyze the formation of amide bonds between proteins to form insoluble protein aggregates. This specific function has long been exploited in the food and textile industries as a protein cross-linking agent to alter the texture of meat, wool, and leather. In recent years, biotechnological applications of transglutaminases have come to light in areas ranging from ma...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of thermophoresis
Measuring parameters such as stability and con-formation of biomolecules, especially of nucleicacids, is important in the field of biology, medicaldiagnostics and biotechnology. We present athermophoretic method to analyse the conformationand thermal stability of nucleic acids. It relies on thedirected movement of molecules in a temperaturegradient that depends on su...
متن کاملBiotechnological applications of microalgae
Microalgae are important biological resources that have a wide range of biotechnological applications. Due to their high nutritional value, microalgae such as Spirulina and Chlorella are being mass cultured for health food. A variety of high-value products including polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), pigments such as carotenoids and phycobiliproteins, and bioactive compounds are useful as nutr...
متن کاملInteins—A Focus on the Biotechnological Applications of Splicing-Promoting Proteins
The main aim of this mini-review is to illustrate strategies and industrial applications based on inteins (INTErnal proteINS), which belong to a class of autocatalytic enzymes that are able to perform a catalytic reaction on a single substrate. However, since practical applications of inteins are strongly guided by a detailed understanding of their biological mechanisms and functions, the first...
