Background Proteins and polysaccharides are the most abundant biomaterials and often
present together in food and biological systems. The exploitation of protein-polysaccharide …

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and IDP regions fail to form a stable structure, yet
they exhibit biological activities. Their mobile flexibility and structural instability are encoded …

A typical casein micelle contains thousands of casein molecules, most of which form
thermodynamically stable complexes with nanoclusters of amorphous calcium phosphate …

This review describes the family of intrinsically disordered proteins, members of which fail to
form rigid 3-D structures under physiological conditions, either along their entire lengths or …

The majority of the protein in cow's milk is contained in the particles known as casein
micelles. This review describes the main structural features of these particles and the …

There are many examples of biologically active food proteins, with physiological significance
beyond the pure nutritional requirements that concern available nitrogen for normal growth …

A review is made of the different structural principles involved in the assembly of the casein
micellar particles present in mammalian milks. The properties of the constituent casein …

This tutorial review provides an overview of the science of food materials and encapsulation
techniques that underpin the development of delivery vehicles for functional food …

Recent developments in biomineralization have already demonstrated that nanosized
crystals and particles play an important role in the formation of hard tissues of animals …

The effects of heat on the casein proteins and the casein micelles, including their
interactions with denatured whey proteins are reviewed. Aspects from chemical changes to …
