Proper folding of proteins is critical to producing the biological machinery essential for cellular function. The rates and energetics of a protein's folding process, which is described by its energy landscape, are encoded in the amino acid sequence. Over the course of evolution, this landscape must be maintained such that the protein folds and remains folded over a biologically relevant time s...

the present study was carried out to determine the nutritive value of white varieties of grape pomace (gp) and raisin vitis leaves (rvl), using nylon bags and gas production techniques. tow fistulated whether with average body weight of 45±2 kg were used. the amount of gas produced was measured at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 48 and 72 h times and degradation was measured using nylon bags up to ...

Objective(s): The present work deals with the preparation of nanobioconjugates based on the immobilization of cytochrome c (cyt c) on functionalized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs). The effect of the nanosupport and the immobilization procedure on the biochemical and structural characteristics of the immobilized protein was investigated. Methods: </strong...
