In the case of fermented soy foods like tofu,, two key storage proteins — glycinin and conglycinin — are broken down by molds, yeasts, and bacteria into peptide fragments that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and blood pressure - lowering properties. (whfoods.org)
In Robinson's lab, Sharon studied protein - protein interactions within proteasomes, large multiprotein complexes that clear cells of unwanted proteins by degrading them into small peptide fragments. (sciencemag.org)
The platform builds the fibrils by combining the properties of the nanotube with a synthetic peptide fragment that is placed inside the cylinder. (sciencedaily.com)
