Globulins are immune molecules that are produced by the immune system in response to invasion of the body of agents that are perceived by the system as being foreign. Some immune globulins are also known as antibodies. Examples of microorganisms that...

Globular proteins, or spheroproteins are one of the two main protein classes, comprising globelike proteins that are more or less soluble in aqueous solutions (where they form colloidal solutions). This main characteristic helps distinguishing them from...

ABSTRACT Molecular dynamics simulation, quasielastic neutron scattering and analytical theory are combined to characterize diffusive motions in a hydrated protein, C-phycocyanin. The simulation-derived scattering function is in approximate agreement with experiment and is decomposed to determine the essential contributions. It is found that the...

ABSTRACT: Globular proteins are utilized in food, pharmaceutical, and health-care products because of their unique functional attributes, for example, enzyme catalysis, ligand binding and transport, surface activity and self-- association. The expression of these functional attributes in a particular product depends on the molecular...
