Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

1 Introduction Eggs consist of many functional proteins, with notable functional characteristics . However, the application of egg protein in industry is very limited (Abeyrathne et al., 2013). The ...

Hydrophobic amino acids are vital components in the realm of protein structure and function. While hydrophilic amino acids establish interactions with water molecules in the cellular environment, ...

The local electric fields drive the protonation of amino groups not only in hydrophobic solutes, but also in hydrophilic ones. ‘I think that [the research] is going to move us in the direction of ...

These proteins can also have regions which poke out of the membrane, and these outer regions are usually made up of hydrophilic amino acids. The protein α-keratin is found in hair, skin and nails.

Amino acid profile Amino acid composition of EH and LH showed significant differences (p < 0.05) with respect to PI, indicating that enzymatic hydrolysis may alter the nutritional value of the ...

In this study, the thermal relaxation of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids in water and in the protein lysozyme is investigated using transient nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. By ...

Their findings are published in Protein Science. In our cells, proteins are first formed as a chain of compounds called amino acids. Parts of this chain are "hydrophilic," or easily water-soluble.

The primary sequence of the organic cation channel was used with a score assigned for each amino acid comprising the channel and which, in function of the size and sign of the value, may represent ...
