1.   Myoglobin, a protein similar to haemoglobin in red blood cells, acts as a store for oxygen within the muscle fibres.

2.   Although the new studies were with mice, humans make a very similar protein and the human protein works perfectly in mice, the researchers report.

3.   A search for the sequence finds similar proteins in yeast.

4.   But Dr. Ruprecht said scientists had not looked for a similar protein in primates.

5.   But the drug also works in a seemingly unrelated cancer, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, known as GIST, because it has a somewhat similar signaling protein.

6.   Muscle cells make not only dystrophin but a similar protein called utrophin.

7.   Scientists later found that MPF contained a protein similar to those that Hartwell and Nurse discovered in yeast.

8.   Similar anti-freeze proteins have been identified in fish.

9.   StarLink corn was not approved for food use because it contains proteins similar to ones known to cause allergic reactions.

10.   The fruits contain proteins similar to the latex proteins that produce allergic reactions.
