Bulk and Surface Chemical Composition of Wheat Flour Particles of Different Sizes by Jiangtao Lin, Yujuan Gu, Ke Bian

“…Further analysis of protein fractions with varying solubility implied that the relative smaller flour particles (diameter <48 μm) had higher gluten protein (gliadin and glutenin) ratio (60.88–64.06%). Furthermore, amino acid analysis showed that glutamic acid was rich in the medium particles. …”

Targeting Anabolic Impairment in Response to Resistance Exercise in Older Adults with Mobility Impairments: Potential Mechanisms and Rehabilitation Approaches by Micah J. Drummond, Robin L. Marcus, Paul C. LaStayo

“…This is followed with evidence suggesting that the recovery period of resistance exercise provides an opportunity to amplify the exercise-induced anabolic response using protein/essential amino acid ingestion. This anabolic strategy, if repeated chronically, may improve lean muscle gains, decrease time to recovery of function during periods of rehabilitation, and overall, maintain/improve physical independence and reduce mortality rates in older adults.…”

Monovalent Lectin Microvirin Utilizes Hydropathic Recognition of HIV-1 Env for Inhibition of Virus Cell Infection by Bibek Parajuli, Kriti Acharya, Harry Charles Bach, Shiyu Zhang, Cameron F. Abrams, Irwin Chaiken

“…To better understand the nature of the MVN-Env glycan interaction, we used mutagenesis to evaluate the residue contributions to the mannobiose binding site of MVN that are important for Env gp120 glycan binding. MVN binding site amino acid residues were individually replaced by alanine, and the resulting purified recombinant MVN variants were examined for gp120 interaction using competition Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), biosensor surface plasmon resonance, calorimetry, and virus neutralization assays. …”
