The interaction mechanism of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and rod-shaped gold nanoparticles (AuNRs) with γ-globulin and hemoglobin was comprehensively and comparatively analyzed. γ-Globulin and hemoglobin have high affinity with AuNPs, and with two different types of binding sites on AuNRs surface. Except hemoglobin interaction with the first binding site of AuNRs, the interaction between γ-globulin/hemoglobin and AuNPs/AuNRs is the spontaneous, endothermic and entropy-driven process, and hydrophobic interaction plays a dominant role.

The ordered assembly of Tau protein into filaments characterizes Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, and thus, stabilization of Tau protein is a promising avenue for tauopathies therapy. To dissect the underlying aggregation mechanisms on Tau, we employ a set of molecular simulations and the Markov state model to determine the kinetics of ensemble of K18. K18 is the microtubule-binding domain of Tau protein and plays a vital role in the microtubule assembly, recycling processes, and amyloid fibril formation.

Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) is the most used and reliable method to determine the percentage of serum protein subfractions. The interpretation of the kinetics of total proteins and albumin and globulin fractions is receiving increased attention in wild animals, as well as in domestic animals, due to the possibility of identifying typical pathologic patterns. However, the interpretation of these data had to be performed in light of an appropriate method-and species- specific reference intervals (RIs).

A novel simplified method is presented for the estimation of the metabolism of plasma proteins (albumin, fibrinogen, , and -globulin, glycoprotein) with regard to the whole body protein metabolism in a young male volunteer (22 years, 81 kg body mass). This method is based on multiple oral administration of [N]glycine followed by measurement of N in plasma proteins, total free amino acids, urea and excreted urinary N. The fractional synthesis rate of albumin was estimated to 6.

Multi-size optimization of ion exchangers based on protein characteristics and understanding of underlying mechanism is crucial to achieve maximum separation performance in terms of adsorption capacity and uptake kinetic. Herein, we characterize the effects of three different sizes, macropore size, protein size, and ligand length, on the protein adsorption capacity and uptake kinetic of macroporous cellulose beads, and provide insights into the underlying mechanism. In detail, (1) for smaller bovine serum albumin, macropore size has a negligible effect on the adsorption capacity, while for larger γ-globulin, larger macropores improve the adsorption capacity due to the high accessibility of binding sites; (2) there is a critical pore size (CPZ), at which the adsorption uptake kinetic is minimum.
