Protein and Protein Structure

80.4K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Protein Modifications in the RER

5.5K
Modification of secretory and transmembrane proteins entering the rough ER begins in the ER lumen. These modifications aid in protein folding and stabilize the acquired tertiary structure. Protein modifications in the rough ER co-occur at different stages of protein folding.
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal...

Antibody Structure

Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
The Y-Shaped Structure of Antibodies Consists of Four Polypeptide Chains
Antibodies consist of four polypeptide chains: two identical heavy...

Globular Proteins

7.6K
In organisms, proteins are the most abundant macromolecules. They act as the building blocks of life and play various crucial roles in the body. Proteins can be broadly classified into two distinct subtypes based on their shape and solubilities: globular proteins and fibrous proteins.
Globular proteins serve many important physiological functions, such as acting as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be soluble in the aqueous...

  • Food Science
  • Protein Chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Ovalbumin (OVA) is a primary protein in egg white with functional properties.
  • Modifying protein structure can enhance its functional characteristics for specific applications.

  • Ovalbumin was succinylated using varying levels of succinic anhydride.
  • Structural properties were analyzed using SDS-PAGE, FTIR, Circular Dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy.
  • Functional properties including solubility, interface tension, emulsifying activity/stability, and foaming capacity/stability were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Succinic anhydride attachment to OVA was confirmed.
  • Succinyl ovalbumin (SOVA) exhibited enhanced thermal stability and zeta potential.
  • CD spectra indicated decreased α-helix and increased β-sheet content in SOVA.
  • SOVA showed increased solubility, reduced interfacial tension, and improved emulsifying and foaming properties compared to native OVA.

Conclusions:

  • Succinylation is an effective method to modify OVA's structure and enhance its functional properties.
  • SOVA demonstrates superior performance in emulsification and foaming, suggesting potential for improved food ingredient applications.
