Increased sulfur-containing amino acid content and altered conformational characteristics of soybean proteins by rebalancing 11S and 7S compositions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soybean proteins are limited by their low contents of methionine and cysteine. Herein, 7S globulin accumulation was reduced using RNA interference to silence CG-β-1 expression, and the content of the A2B1a subunit was largely increased under the soybean ...

Local softness, softness dipole and polarizabilities of functional groups: application to the side chains of the twenty amino acids

open access: yes, 2009
The values of molecular polarizabilities and softnesses of the twenty amino acids were computed ab initio (MP2). By using the iterative Hirshfeld scheme to partition the molecular electronic properties, we demonstrate that the values of the softness of ...

Selenium Biofortification in Radish Enhances Nutritional Quality via Accumulation of Methyl-Selenocysteine and Promotion of Transcripts and Metabolites Related to Glucosinolates, Phenolics, and Amino Acids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Two selenium (Se) fertilization methods were tested for their effects on levels of anticarcinogenic selenocompounds in radish (Raphanus sativus), as well as other nutraceuticals.

Inborn Errors of Sulfur-Containing Amino Acid Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Nutrition, 2006
Two superimposed metabolic sequences, transsulfuration and the methionine/homocysteine cycle, form the pathway for methionine metabolism in mammalian liver. This combined pathway was formulated first to explain observations in subjects with homocystinuria caused by cystathionine synthase deficiency.

Inhibition of browning in foodstuffs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
Addition of water-soluble sulfur-containing compounds, thio compounds or potential thio compounds, to a mixture of carbohydrates, and either proteins, peptides, or amino acids can retard or completely eliminate the browning process. Determining factor is

Research on motor neuron diseases konzo and neurolathyrism : trends from 1990 to 2010 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Konzo (caused by consumption of improperly processed cassava, Manihot esculenta) and neurolathyrism (caused by prolonged overconsumption of grass pea, Lathyrus sativus) are two distinct non-infectious upper motor neurone diseases with identical clinical ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Structural changes and exposed amino acids of ethanol-modified whey proteins isolates promote its antioxidant potential

open access: yesCurrent Research in Food Science, 2022
Whey protein isolates (WPI) were treated with different ethanol level (20, 40, 60, and 80%, v/v) to promote structural unfolding and subsequent aggregation.

Advancing Electronic Application of Coordination Solids: Enhancing Electron Transport and Device Integration via Surface‐Mounted MOFs (SURMOFs)

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The layer‐by‐layer (LbL) assembly of coordination solids, enabled by the surface‐mounted metal‐organic framework (SURMOF) platform, is on the cusp of generating the organic counterpart of the epitaxy of inorganics. The programmable and sequential SURMOF protocol, optimized by machine learning (ML), is suited for accessing high‐quality thin films of ...

resido: an R package for exploring amino acid residue composition of peptide and protein sequences

open access: yesFrontiers in Horticulture
Amino acid composition may be used in synthetic biology for fine-tuning amino acid content of plants to improve human or animal diets. One barrier to plant-based diet adoption is insufficiency of key amino acids such as methionine and lysine.
