Histones are presumed to be of chromosomal origin and provide
both structural and functional elements for chromatin. In like
manner the ribosomal proteins are of ribosomal origin and have
analogous roles. Considerable controversy over their cellular roles
exists because of the inability to compare directly both groups of
proteins. In...
The purposes for which the fractionation of proteins are
carried out are quite varied and manyfold. However, one of the
more important reasons is that of determining the nature and the
extent of autolysis or proteolysis on the bovine muscle proteins
during post mortem aging. Hence, the development of a...
Ion exchange chromatography methods which have been
developed in recent years appear to offer a sensitive technique that
can be utilized very advantageously in studies on various proteins
and their properties. The application of such a procedure for the
successful fractionation of bovine sarcoplasmic proteins should stimulate
interest and research...
The electrophoretic behavior of sarcoplasmic proteins was
investigated by the use of vertical acrylamide gel electrophoresis.
The first part of the study was concerned with the separation of
sarcoplasmic proteins extracted at different times of post-mortem
aging. Electrophoresis of the sarcoplasmic extracts by the discontinuous
technique, using ten percent acrylamide...
The reactions of aldehydes with proteins are of nutritional and
physiological significance. The nutritive value of food materials can
be impaired by a reaction necessitating additional dietary protein,
and enzymes have been shown in vitro to be inhibited by reactions
with aldehydes.
Aldehydes present may arise from the autoxidation of...
An
investigation was
made
into certain
aspects
of
protein

This
included
measurements
of the
incorporation of
labeled
amino
acids into
protein
by intact cells
from
a
single
organ, the
larval

and
a

Market lamb production usually requires a short period of time. The success of production is therefore dependent upon the growth rate of the lambs which is influenced by milk yields of the ewes. Different growth potentials of animals result from a difference in their utilisation of food. Since metabolism affects...
