Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the structural properties of whey proteins and
how these properties are influenced by environmental factors—for example, pH …

The vast number of proteins that sustain the currently living organisms have been generated
from a relatively small number of ancestral genes that has involved a variety of processes …

Revised and updated, Chemical Reagents for Protein Modification, Third Edition is an
encyclopedic work describing the many approaches to the site-specific modification of …

Homobifunctional chemical cross‐linking reagents are important tools for functional and
structural characterization of proteins. Accurate measures of the lengths of these molecules …

The complete amino acid sequence of human serum transferrin has been determined by
aligning the structures of the 10 CNBr fragments. The order of these fragments in the …

Galactosyltransferases constitute a family of enzymes, each member of which transfers
galactose from UDPgalactose to a specific acceptor molecule, generating a specific …

The subject of this review, the milk-specific protein a lactalbumin (a LA), is the regulatory
component of the lactose synthase complex which catalyzes the biosynthesis of lactose in …

Abstract α-Lactalbumin (α-LA) is a milk protein that interacts with the enzyme
galactosyltransferase, modifying its substrate specificity in a way which promotes the transfer …

A new system for the bacterial expression of a variant of bovine alpha-lactalbumin has been
developed. Eighteen mutant proteins containing single site substitutions in a cluster of …

alpha-Lactalbumin was purified from a whey protein fraction of the milk of the red-necked
wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus). The complete amino acid sequence was determined from …
