The specific interaction of lipids with membrane proteins has gained much attention due to their modulatory effects on protein dynamics and function. Molecular simulations systems allow us predict binding locations, thermodynamics kinetics lipid-protein interactions, complementing relatively sparse experimental data. However, defining interactions lipid sites can be non-trivial. To this end, we...

The present study utilized beef-lungs to develop a protein ingredient for affordable human food supplements. Beef-lungs were dried in an air drier at 50, 70 and 100 °C ground powder-based intermediate product. All beef-lung powder (BLP) samples different temperatures showed 300% water-binding capacity. Drying temperature significantly decreased the haem-iron content quality with highest observe...

Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) could play an important role as a high-quality source of protein, lipid, and other nutrients not only for animal feed but also human consumption. However, feeding material costs the strongly influence economic feasibility source. Therefore, performance several side streams originating from food production, which are legally permitted in European Union grade subst...

background and objective: obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. the abnormalities involved may be mediated by increased secretions of inflammatory proteins called adipocytokines by the adipose tissue. thus, monitoring adipocytokines during weight loss could be helpful in progress evaluation of weight reduction programs. since high-protein diets are cons...

Inositol lipids have emerged as universal lipid regulators of protein signaling complexes in defined membrane compartments. The number of protein modules that are known to recognise these membrane lipids is rapidly increasing. Pleckstrin homology domains, FYVE domains, PX domains, ENTH domains, CALM domains, PDZ domains, PTB domains and FERM domains are all inositide-recognition modules. The la...

The analysis of lipid protein interaction is difficult because lipids are embedded in cell membranes and therefore, inaccessible to most purification procedures. As an alternative, lipids can be coated on flat surfaces as used for lipid ELISA and Plasmon resonance spectroscopy. However, surface coating lipids do not form microdomain structures, which may be important for the lipid binding prope...
