  2. Protein adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_adsorption

    When considering the transport of proteins, it is clear how concentration gradients, temperature, protein size and flow velocity will influence the arrival of proteins to a solid surface. Under conditions of low flow and minimal temperature gradients, the adsorption rate can be modeled after the diffusion rate equation. [5]

  3. Cycloheximide chase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloheximide_chase

    Cycloheximide chases are also valuable for assessing how different mutations affect the stability of a protein. Experiments have been conducted in yeast and mammalian cells to determine the critical residues required for protein stability and how disease-associated mutations may be affecting protein half-lives within the cell.

  4. Thermal shift assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Shift_Assay

    Thermostable proteins are often more useful than their non-thermostable counterparts, e.g., DNA polymerase in the polymerase chain reaction, [7] so protein engineering often includes adding mutations to increase thermal stability. Protein crystallization is more successful for proteins with a higher melting point [8] and adding buffer ...

  5. Equilibrium unfolding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_unfolding

    where is the stability of the protein in water and [D] is the denaturant concentration. Thus the analysis of denaturation data with this model requires 7 parameters: Δ G w {\displaystyle \Delta G_{w}} , Δ n {\displaystyle \Delta n} , k , and the slopes and intercepts of the folded and unfolded state baselines.

  6. Chemical modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_modification

    Phosphorylation occurs when a PO 3 (phosphoryl) group is added to a protein. [3] This chemical modification is the most extensively studied and is reversible. The result of those studies has shown that phosphorylation acts as a regulator for proteins in two ways: the addition or removal of phosphoryl group can impact enzyme kinetics by turning on or off the enzymatic function via ...

  7. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    For this reason, the blood flow velocity is the fastest in the middle of the vessel and slowest at the vessel wall. In most cases, the mean velocity is used. [18] There are many ways to measure blood flow velocity, like videocapillary microscoping with frame-to-frame analysis, or laser Doppler anemometry. [19]

  8. Proteostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proteostasis

    Protein degradation occurs in proteostasis when the cellular signals indicate the need to decrease overall cellular protein levels. The effects of protein degradation can be local, with the cell only experiencing effects from the loss of the degraded protein itself or widespread, with the entire protein landscape changing due to loss of other ...

  9. Oncotic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oncotic_pressure

    The total oncotic pressure of an average capillary is about 28 mmHg with albumin contributing approximately 22 mmHg of this oncotic pressure, despite only representing 50% of all protein in blood plasma at 35-50 g/L. [6] [7] Because blood proteins cannot escape through capillary endothelium, oncotic pressure of capillary beds tends to draw ...
