Article Synopsis
- Pigs have different fractions of ejaculate, primarily the sperm-rich fraction (SRF) and post-SRF, which vary in sperm content and reproductive characteristics.
- The study analyzed seminal plasma (SP) from different ejaculate portions using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, identifying 19 metabolites and observing variations in metabolites like choline and glycine.
- These findings suggest that the differences in SP metabolite composition could influence sperm physiology and may lead to the identification of potential biomarkers for sperm quality and fertility.
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are functional proteins containing large fragments characterized by high local mobility. Bioinformatic studies have suggested that a significant fraction (more than 30%) of eukaryotic proteins has disordered regions of more than 50 amino acids in length. Hence, NMR methods for the characterization of local compactness and solvent accessibility in such highly disordered proteins are of high importance.
