1. These compounds are lipid soluble and therefore highly protein bound in the plasma. 2. The protein binds to only one strand of the PPT element and has little or no specificity for the double stranded DNA species. 3. Therefore although both proteins bind to the same site, the details of their structural interactions must differ. 4. If two proteins bind to one another, he said, the yeast cell where this happens turns blue. 5. Its shape and positively charged face led them to deduce that the protein binds to DNA, turning a gene on. 6. Knowing how two proteins bind in this way is a step toward designing a drug that will inhibit the binding. 7. Moreover, McGeer found that the complement proteins bind both to the beta-amyloid plaques and to microglia cells. 8. Proteins bind with each other, causing crucial chemical reactions and the creation of body tissue. 9. They found that when the Ab protein binds to copper, it can create oxidative havoc producing lots of hydrogen peroxide and killing cells. |
