Key determinants for the development of an allergic response to an otherwise 'harmless'
food protein involve different factors like the predisposition of the individual, the timing, the …

Engineering protein and peptide-based materials for drug delivery applications has gained
momentum due to their biochemical and biophysical properties over synthetic materials …

In this work, the interaction of human serum albumin (HSA) and human holo-transferrin
(HTF) with the prepared Nano-Kaempferol (Nano-KMP) through oil-in-water procedure was …

Zn2+ ions are essential in many physiological processes, including enzyme catalysis,
protein structural stabilization, and the regulation of many proteins. The affinities of proteins …

Iron is an essential nutrient that is tightly regulated. A principal function of the liver is the
regulation of iron homeostasis. The liver senses changes in systemic iron requirements and …

Lactoferrin is an abundant iron-binding protein in milk. This 80 kDa bilobal glycoprotein is
also present in several other secreted bodily fluids, as well as in the secondary granules of …

The knowledge of how organisms fight infections has largely been built upon the ability of
host innate immune molecules to recognize microbial determinants. Although of …

Transferrin (Tf) is an essential protein, probably ubiquitous to all metazoans. The main
function of this family of proteins is to bind and transport ferric ions, increasing Fe (III) …

Serum transferrin reversibly binds iron in each of two lobes and delivers it to cells by a
receptor-mediated, pH-dependent process. The binding and release of iron result in a large …

In vast areas of the ocean, the scarcity of iron controls the growth and productivity of
phytoplankton,. Although most dissolved iron in the marine environment is complexed with …
