The surface net hydrophobicity and local hydrophobicity of green fluorescent protein was evaluated by using the aqueous two-phase partitioning method. The surface net hydrophobicity of GFP allowed it to be classified as a hydrophobic protein although the local hydrophobicity was low. The local hydrophobicity of the GFP was increased by a pH shift to acidic conditions and was maximal at pH 4. Th...

Virulent strains of Yersinia enterocolitica and their plasmidless, avirulent derivatives were examined for their cell surface properties. Increased surface charge and hydrophobicity of Y. enterocolitica were found to be associated with the possession of a 40- to 48-megadalton plasmid. These surface properties were expressed, as were other plasmid-associated properties, at 37 but not at 22 degre...

As one of the main non-covalent relations in microbiological-based systems, cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) can be observed as a relevant parameter for biodegradation capability and suggested bacterial behaviour biofilm formation during bioremediation process. On other hand, role ureolytic bacteria has subsequently led to examination this type different engineering fields. In order optimize o...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of infrared processing of barley for 60, 90, 120 and 150 seconds (s) on protein hydrophobicity, in vitro protein digestibility, degradation characteristics of protein and starch and its feeding effect on ruminal pH of sheep. The surface hydrophobicity of protein increased (P
