Expansins are a family of closely related nonenzymatic proteins found in the plant cell wall, with important roles in plant cell growth, fruit softening, abscission, emergence of root hairs, pollen tube invasion of the stigma and style, meristem function, and other developmental processes where cell wall loosening occurs.

Oat phytochrome absorption spectrum (Devlin, 1969). Phytochromes are a class of photoreceptor proteins found in plants, bacteria and fungi.They respond to light in the red and far-red regions of the visible spectrum and can be classed as either Type I, which are activated by far-red light, or Type II that are activated by red light.

Protein folding must be thermodynamically favorable within a cell in order for it to be a spontaneous reaction. Since it is known that protein folding is a spontaneous reaction, then it must assume a negative Gibbs free energy value. Gibbs free energy in protein folding is directly related to enthalpy and entropy. [12]
The function of CPS and KS in plants is performed by a single enzyme in fungi (CPS/KS). [21] [22] [23] In plants the Gibberellin biosynthesis genes are found randomly on multiple chromosomes, but in fungi are found on one chromosome . [24] [25] Plants produce low amount of Gibberellic Acid, therefore is produced for industrial purposes by ...
Not all land plants contain anthocyanin; in the Caryophyllales (including cactus, beets, and amaranth), they are replaced by betalains. Anthocyanins and betalains have never been found in the same plant. [10] [11] Sometimes bred purposely for high anthocyanin content, ornamental plants such as sweet peppers may have unusual culinary and ...
In molecular biology, molecular chaperones are proteins that assist the conformational folding or unfolding of large proteins or macromolecular protein complexes. There are a number of classes of molecular chaperones, all of which function to assist large proteins in proper protein folding during or after synthesis, and after partial denaturation.
Protein, fiber and unsaturated fat mean that almonds will keep you full for a while — especially because a 1-ounce serving is 23 whole almonds, a greater amount than other types of nuts.
Two tyrosines separated by a single amino acid, typically valine or another tyrosine, form a short intra-molecular diphenylether crosslink. [11] This can be crosslinked further by the enzyme extensin peroxidase [12] [13] [14] to form an inter-molecular bridge between extensin molecules and thus form networks and sheets.
