Whey protein

the ability to become regulated by responding to cellular or environmental signals. This is done by controlling the water transport occurring at an individual protein level through conformational changes, such as gating. The following one involves regulating at the transcriptional/translational level in addition to trafficking, in which protein molecules are rotated throughout intracellular storage vesicles, as well as target membranes. Aquaporins allow for quick and specific regulation, in…

University researchers studying the biology of aging demonstrated a new strategy for stimulating autophagy - the process by which cells rebuild themselves by recycling their own worn-out parts. The process of autophagy involves rounding up misfolded proteins and obsolete organelles within a cell into vesicles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with a lysosome, which breaks down the cellular macromolecules and converts them into components the cell can re-use. Louis Lapierre, an…

Hairstyles of any length can easily be maintained with clip in extensions. All hair types, from thick to medium, to thin can utilize hair extensions. Brown Blonde micro loop extensions are easy to use, and can add natural flare to any style. To make hair blend more naturally, micro loop extensions will do just that. The reason they are capable of creating such a natural look to a persons hair is because of their unique design. They are individual pieces of hair that are bundled together that…

Adiponectin is a cytokine exclusively produced and secreted by adipocytes. In mice, adiponectin decreases hepatic lipogenesis and increases FFA oxidation. In humans, several studies have shown an inverse correlation between adiponectin levels in the blood and hepatic insulin sensitivity as well as fat content in the liver. Adiponectin is a cytokine which acts as an anti-steatotic factor in both muscle and hepatocytes, probably by activating Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma…

Hypermetabolism is the physiological condition of increased rate of metabolic activity and is described by a strange increment in the body's basal metabolic rate. Hypermetabolism is caused by injury or multiple traumas to the body. This could be in the form of surgery, bone fractures, infections, burns and bone marrow transplant. Hypermetabolism is a symptom of hyperthyroidism which is characterised by an increment in the production of thyroid hormones hence an increase in the rate of cellular…

Membrane Self-Assembly Processes: Steps Toward the First Cellular Life by Pierre-Alain Monnard & David W. Deamer Summary: To summarize, early cells must have had a membrane to encapsulate its components and keep them within the cell. This membrane was made up of amphiphiles. This membrane was very permeable and as a result, passive diffusion occurred. Later on this membrane evolved to be a little impermeable as to keep the metabolic reactions and catalysts that drive these reactions within…

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of host defence peptides found in all living organisms. They exhibit significant activity against bacteria, virus, fungi and several other pathogens. AMPs share certain common features. (a) They are small molecules with varying amino acid composition and length. (b) They are cationic, due to the presence of positively charged basic amino acids and (c) amphipathic, since they contain alternate hydrophobic nonpolar and hydrophilic, polar residues. AMPs are…

Proteins Introduction Many products including powders, drinks, and foods are marketed as having more protein in them than the average consumption. But is that statement actually true? Proteins are a type of amino acid. There are twenty known amino acids monomers. Monomers are molecules that can be bonded together to create something else known as a polymer. Every amino acid has to have three things, an amino group, a carboxyl group and a functional group that is special to itself. Something…

Biochemical foundation for each of the four enzymatic assays performed on each cellular fraction. We performed various assays on each of the four log phase culture fractions, as well as the extracellular fraction from a stationary phase culture, to test the localization of the enzymes. For the protease assay, a specific soluble chromogenic substrate called azocasein was employed to determine presence of enzyme activity. The degradation of this substrate in trichloroacetic acid produces a colour…
