The solution structure of troponin C from turkey skeletal muscle was studied at low pH by small-angle X-ray-scattering. We find that troponin C at pH 5.3 in the presence of Mg2+ has a triaxial radius of gyration and maximum dimension comparable with those of the crystallized protein. However, the relative disposition of domains is more similar to that found for the highly homologous rabbit prot...

Water droplets or mist occur naturally in the air at seashores. These water droplets carry inorganic and organic substances from the sea to the land via the air, creating fertile land in sandy coastal areas (1). The same phenomenon occurs in an air-fluidized bed bioreactor (2). In an air-fluidized bed reactor, proteins can be transferred from the bioreactor semisolid bulk phase to an enriched d...

Lysozyme, as a model protein, was precipitated through the formation of protein-Zn complex to micronize for subsequent encapsulation within poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres. Various parameters, including pH, type and concentration of added salts and protein concentration, were modified to optimize the yield of protein complexation and precipitation. The resulting protein parti...

in recent years, utilization of chitosan /tripolyphosphate nanoparticles has been considered greatly as protein delivery vehicles. effects of a variety of factors on final characteristics of nanoparticles have been studied by many investigators. although, the objective of this study was to achieve smaller chitosan nano carriers via changing fabrication parameters such as ph and temperature and ...

the protease enzyme breaks down protein into amino acids as its constructors. protease immobilization onto appropriate support materials plays an essential role in various fields of technology including the food and detergent industries. accordingly, improvement of protease immobilization has been highly regarded due to its applications in bio catalysis. alginate and chitosan are natural polysa...
