Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Membrane proteins are of particular interest to structural biologists since it is believed that these proteins comprise approximately thirty percent of the proteins encoded for by genomes. Despite the biological significance of these proteins, the atomic resolution structures of membrane proteins are being solved at a much slower rate than their soluble counterparts. This is primarily due to difficulties that arise in maintaining the lipid interactions required to retain the structural and functional integrity of the proteins during structural studies. One approach to resolving this problem would be to develop alternative membrane-mimetic environments for structural studies of membrane proteins. The cubic phases formed by mixtures of lipids and water have been identified as such an environment. In recent years cubic phases have been used to crystallize membrane proteins for structural studies using X-ray crystallographic techniques. This application of cubic phases, along with information provided from previous studies, indicated that cubic phases possessed the necessary properties to make them ideal membrane-mimetic environments for solution NMR studies of membrane proteins. I investigated the suitability of the cubic phases formed by mixtures of monoolein and water as membrane-mimetic environments for the solution NMR study of incorporated membrane proteins. For my studies I used two transmembrane peptides (WNALAAVAAALAAVAAAAGKSKSKS and alamethicin), and one membrane surface-associating peptide (methionine-enkephalin), as models of membrane proteins. In the NMR spectra collected on the transmembrane peptides, only the residues found in the interfacial regions of the cubic phase were observed, whereas all of the residues of the membrane surface-associating peptide were observed. In order to gain insights into the behaviour of the incorporated peptides, the diffusion rates of lipid, peptide and water molecules were measured in peptide-containing cubic phases using solution NMR techniques. The data that I have collected provide the first examples of solution NMR spectra collected on peptides incorporated into a lipid cubic phase. The NMR spectra that were obtained suggest that the monoolein:water cubic phase may be a suitable membrane-mimetic environment for the study of membrane surface-associating peptides and proteins, and the inter-helical loops of integral membrane proteins.

Download or read book Insect Molecular Biology and Biochemistry written by Lawrence I. Gilbert and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-08-16 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of the extensive seven-volume work Comprehensive Molecular Insect Science provided a complete reference encompassing important developments and achievements in modern insect science. One of the most swiftly moving areas in entomological and comparative research is molecular biology, and this volume, Insect Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, is designed for those who desire a comprehensive yet concise work on important aspects of this topic. This volume contains ten fully revised or rewritten chapters from the original series as well as five completely new chapters on topics such as insect immunology, insect genomics, RNAi, and molecular biology of circadian rhythms and circadian behavior. The topics included are key to an understanding of insect development, with emphasis on the cuticle, digestive properties, and the transport of lipids; extensive and integrated chapters on cytochrome P450s; and the role of transposable elements in the developmental processes as well as programmed cell death. This volume will be of great value to senior investigators, graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and advanced undergraduate research students. It can also be used as a reference for graduate courses and seminars on the topic. Chapters will also be valuable to the applied biologist or entomologist, providing the requisite understanding necessary for probing the more applied research areas related to insect control. Topics specially selected by the editor-in-chief of the original major reference work Fully revised and new contributions bring together the latest research in the rapidly moving fields of insect molecular biology and insect biochemistry, including coverage of development, physiology, immunity and proteomics Full-color provides readers with clear, useful illustrations to highlight important research findings

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lectins: Analytical Technologies covers both analytical and biological aspects of lectins (functional carbohydrate (complex sugar) recognition proteins) and provides researchers in the field with a resource containing background information and 'look-up' tables detailing lectin specificity and structures. Also included are methods and practical tips for designing new lectins from existing non-lectin proteins, automated approaches to lectin proteomics and high resolution mass spectrometry techniques. This book will be of interest to both novice and advanced researchers in biomedical, analytical and pharmaceutical fields who are involved in the study of lectin structures or who utilize lectins as analytical tools. The study of lectins and their employment in analytical settings spans a range of fields including: * Crystallography and lectin structure databases* Carbohydrate microarrays for lectin characterization and glycotope identification* Proteomic approaches to the functional identification of bacterial adhesins* Generation of lectins from enzymes* Probing cell-surface lectins with neoglycoconjugates * Reviews up-to-date techniques, including practical hints for laboratory work* Provides overview of lectin e-resources and several color illustrations* Includes a 'look-up' table detailing lectin specificity

Download or read book Plant Lectins written by A. Pusztai and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume surveys the chemistry, biochemistry, biosynthesis, metabolism and pharmacological properties of lectins. Lectins, which are most commonly found in plants, are widespread natural products with striking biological activities. Their specific ability to recognise and bind to simple or complex saccharides facilitates their role as effective information protein molecules. As agents of cell-to-cell recognition, lectins promote symbiosis between plants and specific nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria. As natural defensive molecules, they can protect plants against predators such as bacteria, fungi and insects. As part of our diet, lectins are powerful exogenous growth factors in the small intestine and influence our health, the digestive function and the bacterial ecology of the alimentary tract. Lectins are also important research tools in preparative biochemistry and cell science.
