any protein, whether it be endocrine or exocrine, which is secreted by a cell
the application of science, mathematics, and economics to the process of developing useful or valuable proteins
comprising "globe"-like proteins that are more or less soluble in aqueous solutions (where they form colloidal solutions)
created through genetic engineering from two or more proteins
the association of protein molecules and the study of these associations from the perspective of biochemistry
the computational modelling of the molecular structure of complexes formed by two or more interacting biological macromolecules. Protein-protein complexes are the most commonly attempted targets, followed increasingly by protein-nucleic acid complexe
an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from its substrate by hydrolysing phosphoric acid monoesters into a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group (see dephosphorylation)
series of processes intended to isolate a single type of protein from a complex mixture
Proteins are found in every cell and are essential to every biological process, protein structure is very complex: determining a protein's structure involves first protein sequencing - determining the amino acid sequences of its constituent peptides
intramolecular reaction of a particular protein in which an internal protein segment is removed from a precursor protein
a group of evolutionarily related proteins, and is often nearly synonymous with gene family
skimming is the only form of filtration that physically removes organic compounds before they begin to decompose, lightening the load on the biological filter and improving the water's redox potential
The information in such discs would be highly dense, due to being stored in proteins that are only a few nanometres across
the collection of globular proteins that can be isolated from whey, a by-product of cheese manufactured from cow's milk
storage protein held in discrete particles called protein bodies
a protein that spans the entire biological membrane
A transmembrane protein that helps a certain substance or class of closely related substances to cross the membrane Transport protein can refer to
Proteins are broken down in the stomach during digestion by enzymes known as proteases into smaller polypeptides to provide amino acids for the organism, including the essential amino acids that the organism cannot biosynthesize itself
sometimes referred to as a protein binding microarray, is a piece of glass on which different molecules of protein have been affixed at separate locations in an ordered manner thus forming a microscopic array
atoms, molecules, and ions which can bind to specific sites on proteins
In structural biology, a protein subunit or subunit protein is a single protein molecule that assembles (or "coassembles") with other protein molecules to form a multimeric or oligomeric protein
Fibrous proteins, also called scleroproteins, are one of the two main classes of protein quaternary structure (the other being globular proteins)
a kinase enzyme that modifies other proteins by chemically adding phosphate groups to them (phosphorylation)
class of polypeptides produced by certain fish, vertebrates, plants, fungi and bacteria
in cell biology, is the mechanism by which a protein is transported to its proper destination
an acronym for Receptor for Activated C-Kinase and is responsible for the binding of active forms of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of enzymes
Proteins are an important class of biological macromolecules present in all biological organisms, made up of such elements as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, and sulfur
a protein molecule that is attached to, or associated with the membrane of a cell or an organelle
Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues
proteins, short for guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, are a family of proteins involved in second messenger cascades
that functions in interaction with other chemical groups attached by covalent bonds
Denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose their structure (tertiary structure) by application of some external stress or compound for example, treatment of proteins with strong acids or bases, high concentrations of inorganic
a member of the coagulation cascade, the group of blood proteins that leads to the formation of blood clots
a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein synthesized in the liver
the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and simple derivative compounds, for transport into the cell through the plasma membrane and ultimately for the polymerisation into new proteins via the use of ribonucleic acids (RNA) and ribosomes
method of analysing a mixture of proteins by means of gel electrophoresis
a version of a protein with only small differences to another isoform of the same protein. [http
a 36,000 dalton immunoglobulin-binding protein isolated from the bacteria Peptostreptococcus magnus
an immunoglobulin-binding protein expressed in group C and G Streptococcal bacteria much like Protein A but with differing specificities
In virology, matrix proteins are structural proteins linking the viral envelope with the virus core
a 40-60 kDa MSCRAMM surface protein originally found in the cell wall of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus
a recombinant fusion protein that combines IgG binding domains of both Protein A and Protein G
the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure
