The agrin gene codes for a family of basal lamina proteins that differ in function and distribution [PDF]
, 1992 We isolated two cDNAs that encode isoforms of agrin, the basal lamina protein that mediates the motor neuron-induced aggregation of acetylcholine receptors on muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction.

Protein import into chloroplasts: new aspects of a well-known topic [PDF]
, 2007 Protein import into plant chloroplasts is a fascinating topic that is being investigated by many research groups. Since the majority of chloroplast proteins are synthesised as precursor proteins in the cytosol, they have to be posttranslationally ...

Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens): A sustainable protein source for tomorrow
Legume Science, 2023 Protein is one of the essential major nutrients required for the cell functioning in human body. Complete proteins, which are usually found in animal‐based proteins, despite of having high biovailability also cause adverse effect on the environment and ...

Relationship between protein thermodynamic constraints and variation of evolutionary rates among sites [PDF]
, 2015 Evolutionary-rate variation among sites within proteins depends on functional and biophysical properties that constrain protein evolution. It is generally accepted that proteins must be able to fold stably in order to function.

Protein crowding on biomembranes: analysis of contour instabilities
, 2014 Collective behavior of proteins on biomembranes is usually studied within the spontaneous curvature model. Here we consider an alternative phenomenological approach, which accounts consistently for partial ordering of proteins as well as the anchoring ...
