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

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

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
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 ...

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 ...

Impact of methionine nutrition on the leaf proteome of Lupinus angustifolius L. and Vicia faba L. [PDF]
Grain legumes possess a gernerally favourable seed protein amino acid composition but low contents of sulfur amino acids decrease their nutrient value. To enhance the methionie content of local grain legumes by plant breeding, phenotypical attributes for
