Recent findings strongly support the hypothesis that diverse human disorders, including the most common neurodegenerative diseases, arise from misfolding and aggregation of an underlying protein. Despite the good evidence ...

Endomembrane protein trafficking assures protein location through the endocytic and secretory routes. Trafficking pathways are diverse, depending on the proteins being trafficked, the final destination as well as their ...

The usefulness of amaranth protein isolates, native and thermally treated, in edible films preparation was studied. Protein films were prepared by casting using glycerol as plasticizer. Films from amaranth native protein ...

This study investigated, with the aim of obtaining more flexible and hydrophobic proteins, the attachment of a low chain fatty acid, decanoic acid, to alkaline and acid soybean proteins; and the effect on their conformational ...

IP3 increase and de novo synthesis of scoparone are produced in the hypersensitive response (HR) of lemon seedlings against the fungus Alternaria alternata. To elucidate whether a G-protein and/or a protein tyrosine kinase ...

Traditional nixtamalization process produces a masa (dough) with appropriate cohesiveness and adhesiveness. Masa is considered as a network of solubilized starch polymers with dispersed, uncooked and swollen starch granules, ...
