On-chip multi-dimensional biomolecule separation using multi-layer microfabricated valves
… require a sensitive, high-speed, and automatic protein separation tool that far exceeds the capability of traditional two dimensional (2D) protein gel electrophoresis. Methods are described to achieve multi-dimensional biomolecule separation in a microfluidic channel. The new methods couple …

Characterization of ethanol induced protein gels by ultra-small angle x-ray scattering and rheological measurements
Gelation is one of the main functions of food proteins. Protein gelation has been utilized to improve physical properties of protein-based products or for delivery of bioactive compounds. On the other hand, the control of gelation is very important to prevent formation of gel network which may …

Direct conversion of chemical energy to mechanical work using a phosphate charged protein
… In our research, we use a phosphate charged protein, casein, and react it with divinyl sulfone (DVS) through a Michael addition reaction to produce a cross-linked gel. The protein gel could be ephosphorylated at standard conditions using bovine phosphatase (bp) and re-phosporylated using …

Non-Destructive Evaluation and Mathematical Modeling of Beef Loins Subjected to High Hydrodynamic Pressure Treatment
… first study used a rheological based modeling of protein gel as a preliminary study. Results from the first modeling study indicated no viscous interactions in the model and complete deformation failure at pressures exceeding 50 kPa, which was contrary to the real-life process conditions which use …

Regulation of Maize (Zea mays L.) Starch Synthase IIa by Protein Phosphorylation
… studies indicate that in cereal endosperm, protein phosphorylation plays a major role in regulating the formation of functional multi-enzyme complexes between SSs and SBEs during starch biosynthesis and that SSIIa forms the core of such a functional protein complex, with SSI and SBEIIb. The …

Taraxacum officinale as an expression system for recombinant proteins : molecular cloning and functional analysis of the genes encoding the major latex proteins
… kDa. These four peptides were termed major latex protein (MLPs). The identification of the MLPs and cloning of their corresponding genes were undertaken with the objective to isolate useful promoters to drive high level transgene expression in genetically engineered T. officinale plants, which …

Characterisation of the cold-shock response in Mycobacterium smegmatis
… and metabolism of the culture. The synthesis of proteins was reduced 20-fold during this period, indicating at block in translation. The cold-shock response in Mycobacterium smegmatis was an adaptive response with growth eventually being resumed at the colder temperature, but at a reduced rate. …

Microbial Pretreatment of Cotton Stalks by Phanerochaete chrysosporium for Bioethanol Production
… Existing pretreatment methods have largely been developed on the basis of physiochemical technologies which are considered relatively expensive and usually involve adverse environmental impacts. In this study, an environmentally benign alternative, microbial pretreatment using …

A preliminary study of the solubilization of wool and separation of soluble wool into protein classes : this thesis was presented in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Chemistry at Massey University
… would be greatly assisted by separation of wool proteins into protein classes. A preliminary study of solubilizing wool protein by reduction and oxidative sulfitolysis of the cystine disulfide linkages was carried out. Oxidative sulfitolysis was used to obtain stable soluble wool protein for …

Plant protein structure design and its potential substitution of dairy proteins in gelation systems
Plant-based proteins are gain attention as versatile alternatives to dairy-derived proteins as functional ingredients in food formulations due to their greater sustainability and lower production costs, and health benefits. However, in-depth knowledge about the structural and functional knowledge …

Nutritional Manipulation of Exercise Induced Skeletal Muscle Cell Signalling: Implications for Acute Training Adaptations
… there is also growing rationale ot consume protein before, during and/or after train-low sessions in an attempt to simultaneously promote mitochondrial biogenesis, muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and improve net muscle protein balance. The aim of this thesis was to assess the effects of …

Structure and Dynamics of Associative Polymer Gels
… network formed by artificial coiled-coil proteins with a well-defined architecture. The combination of forced Rayleigh scattering (FRS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectroscopy provided evidence for several regimes of gel relaxation behavior across a wide length scale range, including …
