Nanogel is a term used to describe any mixture of nano-sized particles or fibers with a gel, usually protein-based. They have the ability to cross into the cells of living organisms.

CONT

There has been interest in applying nanogels to drug delivery systems, such as protein delivery and gene delivery. In general, chemically cross-linked nanogels are synthesized by microemulsion polymerization or a crosslinking reaction of intra-associated polymer molecules. We develop tailor-made functional nanogels to create novel nanobiomaterials(nanogel engineering) by the self-assembly of functional associating polymers as building blocks. In particular, nanogels of cholesteryl group-bearing pullulan(CHP) selectively interact with proteins as a host and are useful as artificial molecular chaperone and drug carriers such as cancer immune therapy.

Los nanogeles [...] son partículas de dimensiones coloidales constituidas por una estructura polimérica entrecruzada física o químicamente que puede hincharse por absorción de grandes cantidades de disolvente, pero que no se disuelven debido a la estructura de la red que los constituye.

CONT

La sensibilidad a las condiciones del medio de los nanogeles es una propiedad muy ventajosa si se trata de aplicaciones relacionadas con la dosificación de fármacos ya que permite obtener una respuesta bajo condiciones de pH y temperatura biológicas.

A primary challenge in the field of proteomimetics is the identification of building blocks that mimic key protein structural motifs while projecting functional groups in three-dimensional space for specific binding interactions with other proteomimetics, small molecules, or endogenous biopolymer targets.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Enzymes immobilized on inorganic supports by covalent attachment show unique pH optimums, thermal profiles and kinetics. Organic functional groups are covalently attached to the support using a silane coupling agent.... The most common silane coupling agent used is [gamma]-aminopropyltriethoxy-silane. Silanes such as this react with any available oxide or hydroxide groups on the surface of glass, ceramics or metal oxides.... Once an alkylamine group has been attached to the inorganic support it takes only standard organic coupling reactions to covalently bond the protein of interest.

Record 8 2004-07-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

A functional retrosequence producing a protein that is identical or nearly identical to that produced by the gene from which the mRNA [messenger RNA] was derived.

CONT

The integrated sequence, or "retrosequence", is derived from the RNA transcript of a gene, and therefore does not contain introns. It is likely that most retrosequences degenerate and become pseudogenes; however, a few interesting sequences have retained function. A functional retrosequence is called a "retrogene" or "processed gene".

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

La matrice dont dérive une rétroséquence correspond généralement à l'ARN transcrit d'un gène structural. Si la rétroséquence est fonctionnelle, on parle de «rétrogène», et dans le cas contraire de «rétropseudogène».

A heteropolymeric protein, consisting of an ordered association of functionally and structurally different enzymes, which catalyse successive steps in a chain of metabolic reactions.

CONT

The multienzyme complex is an example of heterologous protein-protein interaction in a functional complex. The known multienzyme complexes consist of 2-7 different catalytic units associated noncovalently, with no associated lipids, nucleic acids or enzymatically inactive protein.

Subject field(s)

  • Breadmaking
CONT

Four main characteristics of wheat flour determine its suitability for breadmaking. These are :protein quality and protein quantity; dough mixing characteristics; damaged starch level; amylase activity. The functional roles of these factors are, to some extent, interrelated; particularly the level of damaged starch and amylase activity. With some flours, other characteristics, flour proteolytic activity, for example, may also play a significant role in breadmaking quality.

CONT

Quatre facteurs déterminent la valeur boulangère de la farine : la qualité et la quantité des protéines de la farine; les caractéristiques du pétrissage de la pâte; la proportion d'amidon endommagé; l'activité des amylases. Les rôles fonctionnels de ces facteurs sont, dans une certaine mesure, corrélatifs, notamment la proportion d'amidon endommagé et l'activité des amylases. Pour certaines farines, d'autres caractéristiques, comme l'activité protéolytique, peuvent également jouer un rôle assez important au point de vue de la valeur boulangère.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

Most mutant genes are recessive with respect to wild-type genes. This fact, puzzling to early geneticists, is now partially understood in terms of the gene-enzyme relation. The recessive phenotype often results from the failure of mutant genes to produce any functional protein(enzyme). In heterozygotes, however, there is always present one "good" gene, and correspondingly, a number of good gene products. Control mechanisms cause the wild-type gene in a heterozygote to produce more gene products than does each wild-type gene in a homozygote.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Il est très vraisemblable que le fonctionnement de telles horloges biologiques dépend aussi de l'apparition de facteurs de spécificité de fonctionner. De tels facteurs fournissent le moyen le plus direct pour limiter la synthèse de protéines spécifiques à une période particulière du cycle de la vie. L'intervention d'un tel facteur est déjà connue pour le bactériophage T4 chez qui il existe au moins un gène produisant une substance inhibant le fonctionnement d'un facteur sigma d'E. coli.
