Structure of giant muscle proteins [PDF]
Giant muscle proteins (e.g. titin, nebulin, and obscurin) play a seminal role in muscle elasticity, stretch response, and sarcomeric organization. Each giant protein consists of multiple tandem structural domains, usually arranged in a modular fashion ...

Muscle proteins, usually in the form of meat and meat products, form an important part of many diets. Muscle is a highly structured tissue, derived mostly from the structures of its component proteins. Muscle proteins can be divided into three classes: the myofibrillar proteins (50% to 60%), including the contractile proteins (actin and myosin) that ...

Affinity proteomics reveals elevated muscle proteins in plasma of children with cerebral malaria [PDF]
Systemic inflammation and sequestration of parasitized erythrocytes are central processes in the pathophysiology of severe Plasmodium falciparum childhood malaria. However, it is still not understood why some children are more at risks to develop malaria

Assessment of RNAlater® as a Potential Method to Preserve Bovine Muscle Proteins Compared with Dry Ice in a Proteomic Study [PDF]
RNAlater® is regarded as a potential preservation method for proteins, while its effect on bovine muscle proteins has rarely been evaluated. Bovine muscle protein samples (n = 12) collected from three tender (Warner⁻Bratzler shear force: 30.02&

The ATPases of Muscle Proteins [PDF]
The ideas and results of Blum, Oosawa, Strohman, and many others are reviewed and, when consolidated with the authors' work, lead to the following picture of muscle protein adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases). Two major features of myocin ATPase seem to be a catalytic interaction between enzyme, a metal cation, and the terminal ...

Identifying potential biomarkers for early evaluating mechanical compression injuries to skeletal muscle through proteomic analysis: A rat model. [PDF]
The skeletal muscle is highly susceptible to injury in daily life. Severe skeletal muscle injuries often result in incomplete regeneration, leading to functional impairment. In clinical practice, understanding the extent of skeletal muscle injury in limb

Maslinic Acid Enhances mTOR Signaling Activity After Acute Resistance Exercise in Mouse Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Background: Maslinic acid (MA) is an olive-derived extract with the structure of pentacyclic triterpenes, which potents anti-inflammatory effects. It has been reported that the combination of MA and resistance exercise increases skeletal muscle mass, but

Exploring Amyloidogenicity of Peptides From Ribosomal S1 Protein to Develop Novel AMPs
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and similar compounds are potential candidates for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The hypothesis of directed co-aggregation of the target protein and an amyloidogenic peptide acting as an antimicrobial peptide was ...

Bindarit inhibits human coronary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and phenotypic switching [PDF]
Bindarit, a selective inhibitor of monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) synthesis, reduces neointimal formation in animal models of vascular injury and recently has been shown to inhibit in-stent late loss in a placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial.
