The lipocalin protein family is a large group of small extracellular proteins. The family
demonstrates great diversity at the sequence level; however, most lipocalins share three …

β-lactoglubulin is the major whey protein in-the milk of ruminants and some nonruminants,
such as pigs and horses. Although β-lactoglobulin was first isolated 60 yr ago, no function …

β-Lactoglobulin (β-LG), the major whey protein in the milk of ruminants, has a high affinity for
a wide range of compounds. Resveratrol (3, 5, 4′-trihydroxystilbene), a natural …

During the last decade, marked progress has been made in the study of the fine details of
the structures of milk proteins such as caseins, β‐lactoglobulin, α‐lactalbumin, and …

Glycodelin is a glycoprotein that belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. Depending on
glycosylation, glycodelin appears in various isoforms. In the uterus, glycodelin-A is the major …

The formation of fibrillar aggregates by β‐lactoglobulin in the presence of urea has been
monitored by using thioflavin T fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) …

Ligand-binding properties of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) are well documented, but the subsequent
biological functions are still unclear. Focusing on fatty acids/β-lg complexes, the structure …

Provides a comprehensive treatment of surface chemistry and its applications to chemical
engineering, biology, and medicine. Focuses on the chmical and physical structure of oil …

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is essential in animals for metabolism of branched chain amino
acids and odd chain fatty acids, and for remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. In the …

Here we demonstrate an anionic porphyrin, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), as a parallel G-
quadruplex-specific fluorescent probe for monitoring DNA structural changes and utilize it to …
