Studies on Roasting Changes of Proteins

Changes in Seed Sugar Pools during Roasting of Different Peanut

The effects of roasting on the allergenic properties of peanut proteins.

BACKGROUND Because of the widespread use of peanut products, peanut allergenicity is a major health concern in the United States. The effect or effects of thermal processing (roasting) on the allergenic properties of peanut proteins have rarely been addressed. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the biochemical effects of roasting on the allergenic properties of peanut proteins. METHODS Competiti...

Studies on Platelet Proteins

T HE IMPORTANCE of blood platelets in hemostasis is now well established.’ Many of the physiologic properties of platelets suggest the presence of a contractile protein and Bettex-Galland and L#{252}scher ( 1961 ) succeeded in isolating such a contractile protein, thrombosthenin, and studied some of its properties.24 Grette ( 1962 ) confirmed the presence of this protein in pig platelets.5 Sinc...

Studies on human platelet proteins.

D URING the last ten years evidence has been presented from different laboratories that fibrinogen may not be essential for thrombin-mediated platelet aggregation.14 Although the presence, in platelets, of a thrombinsensitive protein other than fibrinogen has been reported from this laboratory and also by other workers,5 #{176} there is no report of its isolation, structure, physicochemical pro...

Structural Studies on Cytoskeletal Proteins.

A number of componenets of cytoskeleton are very large proteins which are in their complete native form non amenable to the structure determination via X-ray diffraction techniques due to their non-globular shape and intrinsic flexibility which hinder the formation of suitable crystals. Dissecting such proteins into their representative building blocks-domains and subsequent structural studies ...
