NMR solution structure of a chymotrypsin inhibitor from the Taiwan cobra Naja naja atra [PDF]
The Taiwan cobra (Naja naja atra) chymotrypsin inhibitor (NACI) consists of 57 amino acids and is related to other Kunitz-type inhibitors such as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and Bungarus fasciatus fraction IX (BF9), another chymotrypsin ...

Enzymatic Pea Protein Hydrolysates Are Active Trypsin and Chymotrypsin Inhibitors
In this work, we report the potency of enzymatic hydrolysates of pea proteins against trypsin and chymotrypsin. Pea protein concentrate was digested with each of alcalase, chymotrypsin, pepsin, and trypsin, followed by membrane separation of the protein ...

Obesity and cancer: existing and new hypotheses for a causal connection [PDF]
Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer

The regions of the sequence most exposed to the solvent within the amyloidogenic state of a protein initiate the aggregation process. [PDF]
Formation of misfolded aggregates is an essential part of what proteins can do. The process of protein aggregation is central to many human diseases and any aggregating event needs to be prevented within a cell and in protein design.

Studies of α′,β′‐Epoxyketone Synthesis by Small‐Molecule Flavins and Flavoenzymes
A combined synthetic and biochemical approach links the flavoenzyme EpxF to three key steps in epoxomicin biosynthesis. Crystallography, mutagenesis, and 13C‐labeling complete the mechanistic picture of α′,β′‐epoxyketone formation and illustrate the potential of flavin‐mediated transformations.

Zootechnical Parameters and Enzyme Activity in the Species Brycon moorei (Steindachner 1878)
Brycon moorei is an opportunistic omnivorous species. It is not known what its nutritional requirements are at any stage of its development; this study determined the influence of diet on the zootechnical parameters and enzyme activity of these fish.
