Conjugation of trypsin and trypsin inhibitor with milk beta-lactoglobulin (b-LG) was studied in aqueous solution at physiological pH. Multiple spectroscopic methods and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize protein–protein interactions and protein morphology. Thermody...detailed
Cassia leiandra is an Amazonian plant species that is used popularly for the treatment of mycoses. Recently, a protease inhibitor, named ClTI, with insecticidal activity against Aedes aegypti, was purified from the mature seeds of C. leiandra. In this work, we show that ClTI has antifungal activ...detailed
BackgroundSoybeans are an essential source of low cost protein. They are widely consumed due to their functionality and nutritive value. Recently, the consumption of soybeans has been increasing due to its beneficial effects on human health such as prevention and treatment of various chronic ill...detailed
Most herbs of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are used as air-dried decoction pieces that are manufactured and kept at ambient temperature for long periods. Given the ability of some desiccation-tolerant plants to conserve RNA, it could be worthwhile to isolate mRNA from TCM decoction pieces ...detailed
Al cation may trigger protein structural changes such as aggregation and fibrillation, causing neurodegenerative diseases. We report the effect of Al cation on the solution structures of trypsin (try) and trypsin inhibitor (tryi), using thermodynamic analysis, UV–Visible, Fourier transform infr...detailed
