The Protein Folding Problem

The Protein Folding Problem

Proteins in living systems carry out a great variety of specific functions each of which depends on the precise three-dimensional structure of a particular protein. Proteins are synthesized in the form of a flexible polypeptide chain that is capable of assuming a vast number of configurations; the transformation of this chain into a specific relatively rigid three-dimensional structure is called folding-a remarkable process of self-organization. It is known that the amino acid sequences of some proteins have sufficient information to determine their three-dimensional structures. There are other proteins whose folding requires additional information beyond that found in the sequence of the mature protein. This book introduces the central problem of folding mechanisms as well as a number of other closely related issues. This book is neither a textbook nor a treatise. Rather it is an attempt by several investigators to convey the excitement and challenges of those aspects of the folding problem in which they are actively engaged. The contributors give brief introductions to protein folding from the perspectives of molecular architecture stability and dynamics phage genetics DNA exons general physiology and natural selection. They point out emerging new directions including the suggestion of a class of diseases that result from protein folding defects. | The Protein Folding Problem

Novel Plant Protein Processing Developing the Foods of the Future

Novel Plant Protein Processing Developing the Foods of the Future

Proteins serve as an important nutritional as well as structural component of foods. Not only do they provide an array of amino acids necessary for maintaining human health but also act as thickening stabilizing emulsifying foaming gelling and binding agents. The ability of a protein to possess and demonstrate such unique functional properties depends largely on its inherent structure configuration and how they interact with other food constituents like polysaccharides lipids and polyphenolic compounds. Proteins from animal sources have superior functionality higher digestibility and lower anti-nutrient components than plant proteins. However consumer preferences are evolving worldwide for ethically and sustainably sourced clean cruelty-free vegan or vegetarian plant-based food products. Unlike proteins from animal sources plant proteins are more versatile religiously and culturally acceptable among vegetarian and vegan consumers and associated with lower food processing waste water and soil requirement. Thus the processing and utilization of plant proteins have gained worldwide attention and as such numerous scientific studies are focusing on enhancing the utilization of plant proteins in food and pharmaceutical products through various processing and modification techniques to improve their techno-functional properties bioactivity bioavailability and digestibility.

Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Production of world food supplies is related to more complicated socioeconomic variables than have previously been analyzed. Besides traditional inputs of land labor and fertilizer the technological capabilities and a variety of nutritional and other human capital components are significant independent variables in explaining agricultural production in the developing world. The integration of economic analyses with the concepts of nutritional science offers an expanded and effective means for analyzing the complex problems of agricultural production in nutritionally deficient countries. Bernard Schmitt traces the circular relationship between nutrition and human capital labor productivity food production and per capita consumption of calories and protein. He defines the basic nutritional terms that are most useful to economists in analyzing agricultural and foodrelated questions and provides examples that stress the importance of concentrating on nutritional quality as well as gross quantity. Transformations are used to convert quantities into basic nutritional components allowing more meaningful quantitative analyses in an econometric framework. Dr. Schmitt presents a flexible methodology for forecasting commodity production using it to make projections for the developing countries for each major commodity group and to test various policy alternatives such as extensive trade expanded food assistance programs substantial resource or input expansion further expansion of Green Revolution technology and development of alternatives to agriculture. Although he is certain that gains can be accomplished through population control and agricultural advances supplemented by alternative nutritional sources he concludes that conditions in nutritionally deficient countries are unlikely to improve on average through the mid-1980s. | Protein Calories And Development Nutritional Variables In The Economics Of Developing Countries

Conditionally Toxic Proteins

Conditionally Toxic Proteins

Human health depends upon access to high-quality proteins for our diet and pharmaceutical use. This book deals with the nature of toxicity as it applies to proteins in food and drugs. Many proteins such as glutens and allergens are valuable food sources but toxic for sensitized individuals. Even proteins produced in the human body can become toxic through mutation or aggregation. For example Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease are characterized by plaques in the brain of insoluble protein aggregations. Paradoxically even toxins produced by the most pathogenic microorganisms such as Botox have found use in the clinic and industry. This book discusses how many proteins including interferons and cytokines can be valuable therapeutics while still associated with autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis or lupus erythematosus. Key Features: Shows why gluten proteins are different from all others and how this can account for symptoms throughout the body in those with celiac disease Illustrates that multiple allergy syndrome is not only real and related to similar allergens in extremely different plants Discusses the difficulties in using human proteins and cytokines as therapeutics Presents examples of how protein aggregates are vital to many physiological processes but also characterize renal and neurological syndromes Shows examples of protein toxins that have medical and industrial uses Related Titles Almeida P.

Methods for Imaging Cell Membranes

Methods for Imaging Cell Membranes

This book will serve as an introduction to microscopy and biomedical imaging methods with a focus on the study of the distributions and dynamics of molecules on the cell surface. It will provide readers with an in-depth understanding of how modern microscopy methodology can be used to understand the organisation of cell membrane systems and how experiments can be designed around these methodologies. There are numerous methods employed to understand cell membrane organisation but foremost among them are microscopy methods which can map the distributions of molecules on the cell surface and even map the biophysical properties of membranes themselves. Fluorescence microscopy has been especially widely used due to its specificity and relatively noninvasive nature allowing live-cell imaging. However the recent advance of super-resolution fluorescence microscopy has broken the previous resolution limit for this type of microscopy which has been an important advancement in the field. Atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy have also been deployed to learn about membrane organisation and properties. Each chapter in this volume will be themed around measuring a particular property of cell membranes. In each case the authors examine the range of methodology applicable to the task comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each one and will also provide an overview of important discoveries that have been made using the methodology being discussed. The chapters will cover: Measuring membrane protein distributions using single-molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM) Measuring membrane protein dynamics and diffusion using fluorescence correla-tion spectroscopy (FCS) Mapping membrane lipid backing using environmentally sensitive fluorescence probes Mapping membrane thickness and rigidity using atomic force microscopy Mapping membrane proteins and the cytoskeleton using electron microscopy This book will be a valuable resource to graduate and upper-level undergraduate students and industry researchers in the fields of cell biology microbiology microscopy and medical imaging. | Methods for Imaging Cell Membranes

Abnormal Hemoglobins in Human Populations

Abnormal Hemoglobins in Human Populations

Research on abnormal human hemoglobins (protein in blood that carries oxygen) has taught us about the inheritance biochemistry and distribution of these traits. This knowledge coupled with mathematical research using computer models of population genetics has enabled researchers to marry biological fact and genetic theory. This volume places medical understanding in an evolutionary framework. Using published data on the frequencies of abnormal hemoglobins in the world's populations Livingston analyzes and interprets these frequencies in the light of world distribution of different forms of diseases such as malaria. He further develops the genetic theory of the evolutionary homeostasis. Livingston discusses the relation of abnormal hemoglobins to endemic malaria and shows how natural selection pressures explain the known distribution of these traits. Where non-coinciding distributions arise the book presents other genetic anthropological evolutionary and epidemiological evidence to explain these discrepancies. This classic work remains a useful sourcebook for professors and graduate students of anthropology genetics epidemiology and hematology. | Abnormal Hemoglobins in Human Populations

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Low-dimensional compounds are molecules that correspond to various shapes such as rod ladder (one-dimensional compounds) and sheet (two-dimensional compounds). They are ordinarily found in electromagnetic fields. Recently versatile low-dimensional compounds were proposed for use as components of various functional materials. These new-class low-dimensional compounds contribute significantly to industrial/materials sciences. The molecular architecture consisting of low-dimensional compounds can also be found in nature. One example is the cell cytoskeleton which is a network- or bundle-like architecture consisting of rod-like protein assemblies. The cell accomplishes its motility by structural transition of the cytoskeleton—that is phase transition of the architecture of low-dimensional compounds in response to some stimuli induces shape changes in cells. Another example is nacre which is composed of layered aragonite platelets usually a metastable CaCO3 polymorph. The layered inorganic platelets give nacre its stiffness and noncombustibility. Thus the molecular architecture of low-dimensional compounds in natural life contributes to their functionality. This book reviews various advanced studies on the application of low-dimensional compounds and is therefore important for the development of materials sciences and industrial technologies. | Functionalization of Molecular Architectures Advances and Applications on Low-Dimensional Compounds

Fingerponds: Seasonal Integrated Aquaculture in East African Freshwater Wetlands: Exploring their potential for wise use strategies PhD: UNE

Wetlands play an important role in the livelihoods of many rural households particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However due to decline in rainfed terrestrial agriculture many wetlands are being encroached upon to grow crops. The question to any wetland scientist/policy maker in the region is: what efforts can be made to achieve a balance between human needs for food and income and maintenance of ecosystem integrity?. This study analyses the potential of smallholder integrated aquaculture farming systems (calledFingerponds ) around the Lake Victoria wetlands in Kenya. Various analytical tools were used to evaluate the biophysical suitability nutrient flows benefits and environmental implications of this innovative technology. The critical biophysical factors determining Fingerponds productivity are site selection and water supply. The analysis of nutrient flows in the entire agroecosystem using nitrogen as the currency indicated that the total system throughput and hence the overall productivity of the system were low. Fingerponds contributed to household livelihoods by providing protein and income and added diversity to the household activities with minimal impacts on the natural environment. With careful implementation and adaptive management Fingerponds can be incorporated into national wetland policies and enhance the balance between economic development and environmental conservation. | Fingerponds: Seasonal Integrated Aquaculture in East African Freshwater Wetlands: Exploring their potential for wise use strategies PhD: UNE
