Analysis of circular dichroism spectra of proteins provides information about protein secondary structure. Analytical methods developed for such an analysis use structures and spectra of a set of reference proteins. The reference protein sets currently in use include soluble proteins with a wide range of secondary structures, and perform quite well in analyzing CD spectra of soluble proteins. T...

milk urea nitrogen (mun) of dairy cows was determined in relation to breed. a total of forty (40) pabna and red chittagong dairy cattle each of twenty (20) were selected to know the milk composition, nutritional status and milk urea nitrogen. live weight of pabna cattle (187±14 kg) was higher than that of red chittagong cattle (174±4 kg). in pabna cattle milk yield (4.94 kg), minerals (0.15%) a...

soy protein concentrate (spc) is a functional and nutritional product which is produced under conditions where soy proteins are immobilized in soy flour and soluble carbohydrates are removed. in this study, four different soy flours including defatted soy flour (fat content 3.67, pdi 55.10), defatted and toasted soy flour (fat content 3.78, pdi 10.72), low fat soy flour (fat content 14.34, pdi ...

Cataract is clouding of the eye lens that reduces the amount of incoming light and results in deteriorating vision. Blindness is thought to reach 75 million by 2020. Of these, unoperated cataract may be expected to account for at least 35 million. Thus, the burden of cataract is increasing remorselessly. Embelica officinalis is reported to have a very good antioxidant property and thus we hypot...

Amino acid analyses have been made of the insoluble protein, soluble peptide, and free amino acid fractions isolated from a series of fossil pecten shells of ages from the Pleistocene through the Jurassic. The total amino acid content declines progressively with age of the fossil but, in contrast to oyster shells, only a small fraction of the initial protein is present in the Pleistocene and ol...

Hydration water is vital for various macromolecular biological activities, such as specific ligand recognition, enzyme activity, response to receptor binding, and energy transduction. Without hydration water, proteins would not fold correctly and would lack the conformational flexibility that animates their three-dimensional structures. Motions in globular, soluble proteins are thought to be go...

in order to investigate the effects of supplementary calcium chloride and potassium nitrate on plant growth of ammi (carum copticum l.) in different salinity levels and nutrient solutions (ns), an experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with factorial arrangement was conducted under greenhouse condition in the faculty of agriculture, vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan, durin...

the influence of water deprivation on potted grape (vitis vinifera l.) was investigated. leaf mass area (lma) and biochemical responses, including chlorophyll, total protein, peroxidase activity, soluble carbohydrates, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were assessed in leaves of ‘sahani’ and ‘bidane sefid’ grape cultivars subjected to progressive drought (soil water potentials of: -0.2, -...
