protein aggregation is a serious problem for both biotechnology and cell biology. diseases such as prion misfolding, alzheimer’s, and other amyloidosis are phenomena for which protein aggregation in our living cells is of considerable relevance. human lysozyme has been shown to form amyloid fibrils in individuals suffering from nonneuropathic systemic amyloidosis, all of which have point mutati...

aggregation of pharmaceutical proteins reduces the efficiency and increases the cost of production. it can also lead to the reduced efficacy of drug or cause side effects on the patient’s body. investigating how to create them plays an important role to find agents that prevents the aggregation. this study was allocated for understanding the mechanism of formation of the reteplase protein using...

the aggregation of protein is the most prevalent and the most disturbing kind of instability and this challenge exists in almost every stage of the development of protein drug. the presence of insoluble aggregations in protein drugs will make the supply of the product a tough job. this study identifies the inhibition of the folded interferon beta 1-b’s aggregation with the assistance of some ex...

Cutinase thermostability is important so that the enzymes can function above the glass transition of what are often rigid polymer substrates. A detailed thermal inactivation analysis was performed for two well-characterized cutinases, Aspergillus oryzae Cutinase (AoC) and Thiellavia terrestris Cutinase (TtC). Both AoC and TtC are prone to thermal aggregation upon unfolding at high temperature, ...

Chloroplast protein synthesis elongation factor, EF-Tu, has been implicated in heat tolerance in maize. The recombinant precursor of this protein, pre-EF-Tu, has been found to exhibit chaperone activity and protect heat-labile proteins, such as citrate synthase and malate dehydrogenase, from thermal aggregation. Chloroplast EF-Tu is highly conserved and it is possible that the chaperone activit...

the aggregation behavior of anionic cobalt(ii) 4,4′,4ʺ,4‴-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, [co(tspc)4-] was studied at its various concentrations and different ionic strengths using optical absorption and resonance light scattering (rls) spectroscopies in 5 mm phosphate buffer, ph 7.0 at 25 °c. the results show no aggregation behavior at concentration range of 5.1 × 10-6-7.5 × 10-5 m. also, the ...

21 A theoretical effective thermal conductivity model is derived based on fractal 22 distribution characteristics of nanoparticle aggregation. Considering two different 23 mechanisms of heat conduction including particle aggregation and convention, the 24 model is expressed as a function of the fractal dimension and concentration. In the 25 model, the change of fractal dimension is related to t...

Thermal characteristics of egg white proteins (EWP) may differ in the presence of saccharides. Therefore, the influence of saccharides including carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), pectin, sucrose and maltodextrin and heating time on physicochemical characteristics of EWP as a whole were studied. Investigation of Heat Coagulation Time (HCT), solubility, turbidity and protein secondary structure of h...

We describe a simple microfluidic device for the rapid analysis of protein thermal stability using a novel imaging method. The change in UV absorption upon thermal denaturation or aggregation of proteins is used to get a spatial image of proteins' folding or aggregation state along a linear temperature gradient.
