The action of pepsin on the 11-S and 7-S proteins of vetch, 11-S protein of soybean and 7-S protein of Phaseolus vulgaris was investigated. The first three proteins are hydrolyzed almost completely, the rate of hydrolysis being close to that of hemoglobin, while the hydrolysis of Ph. vulgaris 7-S protein stops after the cleavage of only 2,4% of peptide bonds. The nonhydrolyzable high molecular weight core makes up to 87% of the initial protein and differs from the latter in its electrophoretic mobility and sedimentation coefficient. The action of pepsin does not increase the digestibility of Ph. vulgaris 7-S protein by trypsin. After the consecutive action of these enzymes about two thirds of the protein remain unhydrolyzed. The digestion of Ph. vulgaris 7-S protein by pepsin is completed only after its denaturation by heat treatment or by the action of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride.

BACKGROUND Lupus anticoagulants (LA) can interfere with routine coagulation tests such as the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT). The international normalized ratio (INR) is derived from PT and is used to monitor warfarin therapy. A positive LA result is one of the laboratory criteria of the 2023 ACR/EULAR antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) classification criteria.

Background: Akabane virus (AKAV) is an arthropod-borne virus that causes congenital malformations and neuropathology in cattle and sheep. In South Korea, AKAVs are classified into two main genogroups: K0505 and AKAV-7 strains. The K0505 strain infects pregnant cattle, leading to fetal abnormalities, while the AKAV-7 strain induces encephalomyelitis in post-natal cattle.

Magnetoreception, the ability to sense magnetic fields, is widespread in animals but remains poorly understood. The leading model links this ability in migratory birds to the photo-activation of the protein cryptochrome. Magnetic information is thought to induce structural changes in cryptochrome via a transient radical pair intermediate.

The exorbitant production costs associated with natural tannases pose a significant challenge to their widespread industrial utilization. Microbial expression systems provide a cost-effective method for enzyme production. In this study, a putative gene encoding the subtype B tannase (Gt-Tan) was cloned from Galactobacillus timonensis and expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells.

Rheological properties influence the velocity gradient in the die passage of the extruder and the formation of fibrous structure of plant protein. The rheological properties of 11 s-rich (11 s-RI) and 7 s-rich (7 s-RI) soy protein fractions prepared at a pilot scale were studied to explore their potential in the production of extruded textured proteins. The results showed that compared to 7 s-RI, 11 s-RI exhibited larger particle sizes, lower solubility, lower water holding capacity of insoluble protein, and lower net surface charge in aqueous solutions.
