High protein diet

FTIR analysis of the stem bark extracts of Cassia fistula has absorption bands and the wave numbers (cm-1) of the prominent peaks obtained were described in Table 2. The peak at a frequency of 3463 cm-1, 1618 cm-1, 1448.3 cm-1 and 1241.9 cm-1 were strong while the others vary from medium to weak. Discussion: Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of secondary metabolites like tannins, flavonoid, carbohydrate, saponins, glycosides and phenol in the leaf extract while tannins, flavonoids,…

biologically relevant molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids play a key role in signal transduction. Thus, the relative alignment of the two interacting proteins can affect the type of signal produced. Therefore, docking is used for predicting (assuming) both the strength and the type of signal produced. Molecular docking is one of the most frequently used methods in structure-based…

Abstract: Catalase is an iron porphyrin enzyme present in high concentrations in humans and animals liver tissues. It is a peroxisomal enzyme that is responsible for destruction of toxic H2O2 released during certain metabolic processes.The activity of catalase can be determined by measuring the decrease in H2O2 concentration which is the substrate. Introduction: An enzyme is a large protein that acts as a biological catalyst which changes the rate of a reaction. It provides an active site…

Laccase: Dynamic site structure and reactant cycle. (a) Model of the catalytic cluster of the laccase from Trametes versicolor made of four copper molecules. Type I (T1) copper presents the trademark blue colouring to the protein and is the site where substrate oxidation occurs. Type 2 (T2) and Type 3 (T3) copper form a trinuclear center, where the reduction of molecular oxygen and release of water takes place. (b) Schematic portrayal of a laccase reaction cycle producing…

dominates the protein in the majority of `premium ` feeds. Because protein as coined by the Greeks means ‘of the first importance” is the foundation of the feed. It is from protein that all tissue is developed and maintained. If the diet’s protein component is not sound, (and in the case of the carnivore it should be the very soundest possible) then the diet will be unsound and result in breakdowns among the animals that consume it. Since gluten is one of the two major sources of protein used by…

DNA organization within cells is a complex and sophisticated process. This high level of complexity is due to the hundreds of thousands of interactions that can be enabled through organization. It is a known that promoter elements and enhancer elements work in unison to regulate gene expression. Often times enhancers are found hundreds of kilo-bases away from their interacting promoter elements. These enhancers initiate promoter activation via interactions amongst transcription factor binding…

also a part of hydrosphere. Of all, only 2.5% of fresh water and about 97.5% of salt water covers the earth. About 75% of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans. Lithosphere: it includes the outer surface of the earth i.e. the crust. Everything from high mountains to ground level is a part of lithosphere. Biosphere: it includes all the living organism, all possible live on…

2.1.2. Alkaline hydrolysis Alkaline hydrolysis is a simple process in which the protein is solubilized by heating followed by the addition of calcium, sodium or potassium hydroxide as alkaline agents and maintaining the temperature at a range between 25-55 °C (Pasupuleti & Braun, 2010). During alkaline hydrolysis of proteins, some amino acids like serine and threonine are damaged during alkaline hydrolysis, however, tryptophan remains intact. Also, this process causes racemization of amino acids…

isomerisation. Introduction Bacteriorhodopsin is a globular protein, (Henderson, 1975) which acts as a light driven proton- pump located in the native purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium. It was first discovered by Stoechenius and his lab in 1979 (Stoeckenius, 1979). Although Henderson and Unwin had already made a three-dimensional map of…

DNA cannot function without hundreds of pre-existing proteins, but proteins are produced only at the direction of DNA.To produce a protein, the building blocks are amino acids. For DNA and RNA these building blocks are nucleotides, which are composed of purines, pyrimidines, sugars, and phosphoric acid. If amino acids are dissolved in water they do not spontaneously join together to make a protein. That would require an input of energy. If proteins are dissolved in water the chemical bonds…
