  • However, in the human body, there are enzymes that assist in facilitating this reaction, making peptide bond formation and proteins possible. (wikibooks.org)
  • Different kinds of proteins include enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions, receptors that control signaling in your body, hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout the bloodstream, muscle and organ tissue, which gives your body structure and mobility, and so many other things. (biotechfront.com)
  • Many proteins are enzymes that catalyze biochemical reactions and are vital to metabolism. (transectscience.org)
  • In prokaryotes, SecYEG associates with the motor ATPase SecA to carry out translocation for pre-protein secretion. (elifesciences.org)
  • Antigen secretion was stable for at least 10 cell passages, as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunofluorescence assays. (cdc.gov)
  • Alpha helices are the most well-known element of protein structure, proposed by Pauling. (biologydiscussion.com)
  • Alpha helices generally have a pitch of about 3.5 resi-dues per turn, but there are forms of helices with tighter (3 residues per turn) and longer (4 residues per turn). (biologydiscussion.com)
  • however, the genes encoding for these proteins are maintained in the coronavirus (CoV) genome, suggesting they might play important roles within the environment of the infected host. (biorxiv.org)
  • Collectively, these results continue to assess the biological relevance of ORF10 and its putatively encoded protein, thereby aiding in diagnostic and possibly vaccine development. (biorxiv.org)
  • The chimeric protein was expressed in a wheat germ cell-free translation system and tested for its structural properties, receptor binding, and biological activity. (usf.edu)
  • Alpha-synuclein is primarily found in neural tissue, making up as much as one percent of all proteins in the cytosol of brain cells. (standardofcare.com)
  • The human UBE3A gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase, which exhibits three known protein subtypes ( 1 , 8 ). (spandidos-publications.com)
