InterPro is a database of protein families, protein domains and functional sites in which identifiable features found in known proteins can be applied to new protein ...
Fel d 1 is a secretoglobin protein complex that, in cats, is encoded by the CH1 (chain 1/Fel d 1-A) and CH2 (chain 2/Fel d 1-B) genes. [2] [3] Among cats, Fel d 1 is produced largely in their saliva and by the sebaceous glands located in their skin. It is the primary allergen present on cats and kittens.
The general purpose of the Pfam database is to provide a complete and accurate classification of protein families and domains. [5] Originally, the rationale behind creating the database was to have a semi-automated method of curating information on known protein families to improve the efficiency of annotating genomes. [6]
Although it is not mentioned in the 2011 update, InterPro matches suggest that CH1 is similar to 1B and CH2 is similar to 2B. [5] Extra computational research confirms the similarity, invalidating subfamilies 4 and 5 fully.
Tachykinin peptides are one of the largest families of neuropeptides, found from amphibians to mammals.They were so named due to their ability to rapidly induce contraction of gut tissue. [2]
A 1991 assay for the Journal of Food Science detected substantial avidin activity in cooked egg white: "mean residual avidin activity in fried, poached and boiled (2 min) egg white was 33, 71 and 40% of the activity in raw egg white." The assay surmised that cooking times were not sufficient to adequately heat all cold spot areas within the egg ...
Debate surrounding the 2024 presidential election has gone from childless cat ladies to eating cats. It's led to a rise in memes on social media sites referencing the 1980s television show "ALF ...
These toxins consist of an AB5 multimer structure, in which a pentamer of B chains has a membrane-binding function and an A chain is needed for enzymatic activity. [3] The B subunits are arranged as a doughnut-shaped pentamer, each subunit participating in ~30 hydrogen bonds and 6 salt bridges with its two neighbours.
