Proteins are considered the workhorses in the cellular machinery. They are often organized
in a highly ordered conformation in the crowded cellular environment. These conformations …

Protein hydration dynamics plays an important role in many physiological processes since
protein fluctuations, slow solvation, and the dynamics of hydrating water are all intrinsically …

In this study, the interaction of WPI (whey protein isolate) and SC (sodium caseinate) with
hydrophobic lutein was investigated through UV–vis spectroscopy and circular dichroism …

Bixin is the major coloring component of annatto used in manufacturing colored cheeses,
but its presence in liquid whey causes undesirable quality of the recovered whey protein …

Heating is commonly used in the manufacture of dairy products, but impacts of thermal
denaturation on binding between whey protein and molecules such as pigments are poorly …

Lutein is an important xanthophyll carotenoid with many benefits to human health. Factors
affecting the application of lutein as a functional ingredient in low-fat dairy-like beverages …

To understand complex molecular interactions, it is necessary to account for molecular
flexibility and the available equilibrium of conformational states. Only a small number of …

Banana lectin (BL) is a homodimeric protein categorized among jacalin-related family of
lectins. The effect of acidic pH was examined on conformational stability of BL by using …

Nanoparticles (NPs), when exposed to biofluids, become coated with proteins. As the
protein is adsorbed on the surface, the extent of adsorption and the consequent effect on …

β-Glucosidases are often inhibited by their reaction product glucose and a barrier to the
efficient lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis to glucose. We had previously reported the …
