Impact of ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol on the lipid bilayer of Staphylococcus aureus: changes in membrane potential. [PDF]
The present study was undertaken to explore the interaction of ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol with bacterial membranes in a sensitive and in a resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus by using 1‐anilino‐8‐naphthalene sulfonate (ANS). The binding of this probe to the cell membrane depends on the surface potential, which modulates the binding ...

Chemical Zymogens: Specificity and Steroidal Control of Reactivation
Chemical zymogens are to proteins what prodrugs are to small molecule drugs. This notion is developed herein on the example of papain, a cysteine protease. A disulfide‐based chemical zymogen for papain was protected from thiol poisons and could be reactivated on demand to initiate proteolysis.

Abstract Background and Objectives The effect of genotype × environment (G × E) on oat protein structural characteristics and functionality was studied using three oat genotypes grown in three different environments across the Canadian Prairies. Findings The protein content of oat protein isolate (OPI) ranged from 76.9% to 90.2%.

How Single Site Mutations Can Help Understanding Structure Formation of Amyloid β1−40
The contact between phenylalanine 19 and leucine 34 in Aβ molecules is highly conserved suggesting a particular significance for Aβ misfolding and, in turn, for its neurotoxicity. Point mutations in Aβ peptides at the contact F19−L34 help understanding this importance.

The ability of Escherichia coli isolates from the intestines of Crohn’s disease (CD) patients to avoid neutrophil activation and to utilize reactive oxygen species was analyzed. Neutrophil activation was detected in vitro in normal human blood via luminol chemiluminescence (CL).

The chicken hydrolysates exhibited good antioxidant activity and emulsion ability, which can be used to protect chicken oil from oxidation. Abstract The emulsifying and antioxidant properties of chicken protein hydrolysates for the physical and oxidative stabilization of chicken oil‐in‐water emulsion were investigated.

Water‐soluble proteins extracted from two species of grasshoppers, Patanga succincta (WSPP) and Chondracris roseapbrunner (WSPC), were characterized as well as their functional properties and antioxidant activities were investigated. The extraction yield, on a wet weight basis, was 7.35% and 7.46% for WSPP and WSPC, respectively.

Effects of direct steam injection and spray‐drying on the physicochemical, nutritional, and functional properties of black bean protein concentrates. ABSTRACT Direct steam injection (DSI) and spray‐drying are key unit operations in the industrial production of pulse protein ingredients that are often overlooked in laboratory‐scale studies.

The effect of bovine plasma protein (BPP) on the inhibition of autolytic activity and its effect on the gelling properties of a protein concentrate (PC) obtained from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) mantle were investigated. Sols and gels were prepared from the PC by adding different amounts of BPP (0, 1, and 2%).
