Protein S activity assays may be useful in patients with a normal free protein S antigen in occasional situations: 1) if no abnormality is identified during a thrombophilia workup, but clinical suspicion persists; or 2) in specific populations in which type II deficiencies are more common.
Microbial degradation of protein in the environment can be regulated by nutrient availability. For example, limitation for major elements in proteins (carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur) induces proteolytic activity in the fungus Neurospora crassa [3] as well as in of soil organism communities. [4] Proteins in cells are broken into amino acids.
Allosteric regulation of an enzyme. In the fields of biochemistry and pharmacology an allosteric regulator (or allosteric modulator) is a substance that binds to a site on an enzyme or receptor distinct from the active site, resulting in a conformational change that alters the protein's activity, either enhancing or inhibiting its function.
[36] [37] The amount of protein required in a person's diet is determined in large part by overall energy intake, the body's need for nitrogen and essential amino acids, body weight and composition, rate of growth in the individual, physical activity level, the individual's energy and carbohydrate intake, and the presence of illness or injury.
Protein–protein interactions regulate enzymatic activity, control progression through the cell cycle, and allow the assembly of large protein complexes that carry out many closely related reactions with a common biological function. Proteins can bind to, or be integrated into, cell membranes.
“Protein remains a priority, ... this concept lacks a clear definition and is often misleading,” she says. ... and getting plenty of outdoor activity. “This return to simplicity focuses on ...
Allosteric regulation is also particularly important in the cell's ability to adjust enzyme activity. The term allostery comes from the Greek allos (ἄλλος), "other," and stereos (στερεὀς), "solid (object)." This is in reference to the fact that the regulatory site of an allosteric protein is physically distinct from its active site.
