  • Electrons travel through the cytochrome b6f complex to photosystem I via an electron transport chain within the thylakoid membrane. (goldenssport.com)
  • Type I photosystems use ferredoxin-like iron-sulfur cluster proteins as terminal electron acceptors, while type II photosystems ultimately shuttle electrons to a quinone terminal electron acceptor. (goldenssport.com)
  • After the electron has left Photosystem II it is transferred to a cytochrome b6f complex and then to plastocyanin, a blue copper protein and electron carrier. (goldenssport.com)
  • These results raise the question of the biological significance of egg yolk proteases and antiproteases, and more generally of all minor proteins that have been identified in egg yolk. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The biological activity of soluble antigen-antibody complexes: II. (caltech.edu)
  • The biological functions of Lactobacillus S-layer proteins (Slp:s) are not well understood. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Egg yolk constitutes a major source of proteins, minerals, vitamins and lipids for the developing embryo. (biomedcentral.com)
  • For a variety of organisms, close to 30% of the genome is used to encode membrane proteins," said co-author Neha Kamat, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at McCormick. (scienceboard.net)
  • These results suggest that Flcn-FnipL/Fnip2 and Flcn-Fnip1 complexes positively regulate S6K1 phosphorylation and that FnipL/Fnip2 provides an important clue to elucidating the function of Flcn and the pathogenesis of BHD. (nih.gov)
  • To further characterize the function of DJ-1, we cloned cDNA encoding a novel DJ-1-binding protein, DJBP, by a yeast two-hybrid system. (nih.gov)
  • VWF is a complex glycoprotein that works as a carrier for factor VIII. (medscape.com)
