Nanoscale protein materials are highly convenient as vehicles for targeted drug delivery because of their structural and functional versatility. Selective binding to specific cell surface receptors and penetration into ...

The TKSAMC is a web server which calculates protein charge–charge interactions via the Tanford–Kirkwood Surface Accessibility model with the Monte Carlo method for sampling different protein protonation states. The ...

Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional secreted cytokines, which belong to the TGF-beta superfamily. These glycoproteins act as a disulfide-linked homo- or heterodimers, being potent regulators of bone and ...

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 ...

In the pharmaceutical industry, the need for high levels of protein expression in mammalian cells has prompted the search for new strategies, including technologies to obtain cells with improved mechanisms that enhance its ...

Plant-derived proteins continue drawing attention because of their high availability in nature, tailorable properties, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and biological activities. Corn, soy, and wheat proteins are the ...

Protein engineering of insecticidal Bt δ-endotoxins is a powerful tool for designing novel Cry toxins with altered properties, including changing the toxin’s specificity. By following some elementary rules governing the ...

Protein engineering is a powerful tool, which correlates protein structure with specific functions, both in applied biotechnology and in basic research. Here, we present a practical teaching course for engineering the green ...
