Characterization of Structural and Functional Properties of Class IB Hydrophobins
(2020-08-07)Hydrophobins are low molecular weight self-assembling proteins secreted by fungi and are active at hydrophobic-hydrophilic interfaces. Hydrophobins may undergo structural rearrangement and oligomerize to form rodlets, ... -
Investigation of Antifreeze Protein Activity in Blue Mussels and Amyloid-Like Transition in a Predominant Winter Flounder Serum Antifreeze Protein
(2013-10-28)The study of marine antifreeze proteins has provided new findings. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) was known to have antifreeze activity; however, the antifreeze protein or other molecule responsible has never been ... -
Investigation of the Amyloid Properties of Winter Flounder Antifreeze Protein (AFP6) and the Application of Aqueous Curcumin in the Detection of this Protein
(2021-05-05)A Pseudopleuronectes americanus antifreeze protein, AFP6, has previously been shown to form amyloid upon specific interaction with an ice surface. In this work, an in situ real-time assay for amyloid formation by amyloid ...
