Research conducted by Guangdong Ocean University has made significant breakthroughs in the use of soybean protein peptides (SPP) as a substitute for fishmeal in shrimp feed. The study, which aimed to assess the effect of SPP on growth, antioxidative capacity, non-specific immunity, and disease resistance in Litopenaeus vannamei, demonstrated that

Researchers at the University of Delaware have conducted a comprehensive study on the roles of proteins involved in cell division in embryogenesis. The study found that several proteins essential for mitosis have alternative functions in embryogenesis, influencing various developmental processes. The research team treated embryos with inhibitors of Cyclin Dependent

Researchers at the Faculty of Medicine have conducted a genome-wide screen in yeast to identify additional proteins involved in mitoRQC, a process that protects mitochondria against toxic proteins. The study found that peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase 2 (Pth2), present in the mitochondrial outer membrane, influences aggregation of CAT-tailed proteins without affecting the

Investigators have published a new report on the peculiarities of morphologic patterns of tear ducts depending on their biometric characteristics in primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO). The study analyzed lacrimal sac wall samples from 21 patients with PANDO and found a significant correlation between morphological and biometric characteristics in
Proteins
Research from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, has shed new light on the bacterial world, revealing a family of proteins that exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a diverse range of target organisms. Known as diffusible antibacterial proteins (ABPs), these enzymes degrade essential cellular components, including DNA, tRNA, and rRNA, ultimately

Research published in the journal Cytoskeleton by a team of scientists from the University of Richmond has made a significant discovery regarding the structure and function of the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). The study reveals that TRAK proteins, which are microtubule motor-mitochondria adaptor proteins, contain a MIRO-independent mitochondrial-binding domain that

Proteins play a crucial role in various biological functions, including cellular communication, metabolic regulation, and structural integrity. Accurately predicting protein interaction sites is essential for understanding protein function and behavior. Investigators at the University of Missouri have published a new report introducing MPBind, a multitask protein binding site prediction method
