Protein Modification Quotes

As can be seen even by this limited number of examples proteins carry out amazingly diverse functions.

One of the major lessons in all of biochemistry, cell biology and molecular medicine is that when proteins operate at the sub cellular level, they behave in a certain way as if they're mechanical machinery.

Using the power of protein engineering and evolution, we can convince enzymes to take what they do poorly and do it really well.

There are over 7,000 different types of proteins in typical eukaryotic cells; the total number depends on the cell class and function.

It's nice to be able to look at one protein, but life is driven by the interactions between proteins, so it's really essential to be able to see multiple proteins at a time to understand these interactions.

The development of methods to monitor protein dynamics in cells together with the discovery of specific and general lysosomal inhibitors have resulted in the identification of different classes of cellular proteins, long- and short-lived, and the findings of the differential effects of the inhibitors on these groups.

Serum albumin is a well-defined protein, but no laboratory has yet attempted to ascertain its full chemical structure.

The evolvement of proteolysis as a centrally important regulatory mechanism is a remarkable example for the development of a novel biological concept and the accompanying battles to change paradigms.

That the primary effect of gene mutation may be as simple as the substitution of a single amino acid by another and may lead to profound secondary changes in protein structure and properties has recently been strongly indicated by the work of Ingram on hemoglobin.

I realized that the way most people were going about protein engineering was doomed failure.
