Structure and kinetics of chemically cross-linked protein gels from small-angle X-ray scattering
, 2014 Glutaraldehyde (GA) reacts with amino groups in proteins, forming intermolecular cross-links that, at sufficiently high protein concentration, can transform a protein solution into a gel.

C-reactive protein (CRP) aptamer binds to monomeric but not pentameric form of CRP [PDF]
Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 2011 Native C-reactive protein (CRP) is composed of five identical subunits arranged in a pentameric structure (pCRP). Binding of pCRP to damaged cell membranes produces a second isoform, modified CRP, which has similar antigenicity to isolated monomeric subunits of CRP (mCRP).

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Location of the free thiol group in bovine [beta]-lactoglobulin A, B, and C : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University [PDF]
, 1997 Under non-reducing sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) conditions unheated samples of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) A, B and C all run as a single band, the A variant having a slightly lower mobility than the B and C variants ...

Identification, Characterization, and Localization of a Novel Kidney Polycystin-1-Polycystin-2 Complex [PDF]
, 2002 The functions of the two proteins defective in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, polycystin-1 and polycystin-2, have not been fully clarified, but it has been hypothesized that they may heterodimerize to form a "polycystin complex" involved ...

Neocortical tissue recovery in severe congenital obstructive hydrocephalus after intraventricular administration of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND: In obstructive congenital hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid accumulation is associated with high intracranial pressure and the presence of periventricular edema, ischemia/hypoxia, damage of the white matter, and glial reactions in the ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

How C-Reactive Protein Structural Isoforms With Distinctive Bioactivities Affect Disease Progression
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 C-reactive protein (CRP) is a widely known, hepatically synthesized protein whose blood levels change rapidly and pronouncedly in response to any tissue damaging event associated with an inflammatory response.

Evidence for somatic selection of natural autoantibodies. [PDF]
, 1992 Natural autoantibodies are primarily immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies that bind to a variety of self-antigens, including self-IgG. Accounting for a large proportion of the early B cell repertoire, such polyspecific autoantibodies are speculated to ...
