Here I have characterized enolase of A. fumigatus as a moonlighting protein that binds human Plg. Enolase, in addition to cytosolic location, is expressed on the surface of swollen conidia and hyphae of opportunistic fungal pathogen A. fumigatus. Enolase on the surface of the fungus binds human Plg and the …

Quantitative Test for Proteins2Introduction Proteins, a very important macromolecule, have many different function essential in the body. One of the most important role of proteins in the body is to help with muscle building and muscle recovery, which is the reason why protein powders are commonly used in fitness. It …

1. Aim To investigate the amount of protein present in different types of milk by measuring the mass of protein in each types of milk. 2. Introduction Casein is a protein which is found in milk. This is a conjugated protein that has prosthetic groups that is called phosphoric acid, …

While the food is in the stomach, it is mixed with acid, and enzymes, so chemical digestion takes place. During this, the peristaltic movements on the muscles in the wall of the stomach will mix the food until it is almost a fluid while is called chyme. After some, time …

Introduction: Casein is a globular colloidal protein. Globular proteins are hydrophobic proteins which in certain external condition are soluble in eater. The ph at which the protein is electrically neutral is known as the isoelectric point. A globular protein such as a casein becomes increasingly insoluble as it approaches its …

As the title suggests I am going to investigate the effect of various factors in egg white. And as all of us know that egg meals are rich in proteins and that why we feed them to small children. But not all the parts of the egg have the same …

Taste is the ability to respond to dissolved molecules and ions called tastants. Humans detect taste with taste receptor cells. These are clustered in taste buds. Each taste bud has a pore that opens out to the surface of the tongue enabling molecules and ions taken into the mouth to …

The cytoskeleton helps to maintain cell shape. But the primary importance of the cytoskeleton is in cell motility. The internal movement of cell organelles, as well as cell locomotion and muscle fiber contraction could not take place without the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is one of a few biological areas with …

Proteins play an important role in the human body. The DNA molecule controls the synthesis of proteins. The DNA contains genes which are sequences of nucleotides and bases. Proteins are used for growth and repair. Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Firstly ‘amino acid …

Coagulation of protein refers to sticking together, like a blood clot, usually as a result of denaturation or coming out of solution due to abnormal ionic strength or a change of solvent. Definite characteristics of the proteins are changed when they are coagulated, among which is loss of solubility in …
