Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

3.5K
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Detergent Purification of Membrane Proteins

5.7K
Detergents are used to purify the integral proteins of the membrane. The hydrophobic portion of the detergent can replace membrane phospholipids while solubilizing the membrane proteins. When detergent monomers reach a specific concentration in a solution called critical micelle concentration (CMC), they form micelles. Above CMC, the concentration of the detergent monomers remains in equilibrium with the micelle. The number of detergent monomers present in the CMC varies for each detergent, and...

Sustainable advanced materials can be made from legume flours. This method creates functional hydrogels and microcapsules from soy and pea proteins, offering a sustainable alternative to purified ingredients.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Sustainable Chemistry

Background:

  • Plant-based ingredients are crucial for sustainable advanced materials.
  • High purification of plant ingredients enhances functionality but reduces sustainability.
  • Legume flours offer a sustainable source for advanced material development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for creating functional soft materials directly from legume flours.
  • To investigate the properties of complex coacervates formed from soy and pea globulins.
  • To demonstrate the fabrication of core-shell microcapsules using legume-derived materials.

Main Methods:

  • Extraction of native globulins from soy and pea flours at acidic pH.
