ABSTRACT For a number of applications, gluten protein polymer structures are the highest importance in determining end‐use properties. The present article focuses on wheat grain, genotype‐ and environment‐related changes, various their impact quality. Protein mature grain or flour strongly related to properties, although influenced by genetic environment interactions. Nitrogen availability during development genetically determined plant rhythm most important parameters structure, temperature...
Wheat gluten (WG) and its components, gliadin glutenin proteins, form the largest polymers in nature, which complicates structural architecture of these proteins. gluten, proteins unmodified showed few secondary features. Structural modification using heat, pressure chemical chaperone glycerol resulted a shift to organized structure. In modified gliadin, nano-structural molecular arrangements hexagonal closed packed (HCP) assemblies with lattice parameter (58 Å) were obvious together...
Abstract Capparis spinosa is an edible medicinal plant which considered as excellent source of rutin. Rutin a glycoside the flavonoid quercetin that has been reported to have beneficial role in controlling various diseases such hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and obesity. In this study, partial cDNA four genes involved rutin biosynthetic pathway including 4-coumaroyl CoA ligase (4CL), 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H), flavonol synthase (FLS) flavonol-3-O-glucoside L-rhamnosyltransferase (RT)...
Honey is a traditional remedy for the treatment of infected wounds, and becoming more important as microbial resistance to conventional therapeutic agents increases. A study was conducted assess wound-healing activity Acacia honey using incision, excision, burn dead-space wound models in rats. Different formulations were used rats treated topically well orally. Both higher lower doses produced significant effect on healing (p < 0.05). The area epithelization found increase, followed by an...
Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia that may occur due to genetic, environmental or lifestyle factors. Natural remedies have been used treat diabetes since long and many antidiabetic compounds of varied efficacies isolated from medicinal plants. Rhazya stricta has for decades the treatment associated ailments. Considering folkloric use R. against diabetes, it was aimed investigate effectiveness its root extracts through in vitro assays...
Films thermoformed from commercial potato protein concentrate exhibited a constant Young's modulus and increasing strain at break with processing temperature, in contrast to the usually observed behaviour for protein-based materials.
Gluten protein crosslinking is a predetermined process where specific intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds differ depending on the cysteine motif. In this article, all-atom Monte Carlo simulations were used to understand formation of in gliadins low molecular weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS). The two intrinsically disordered proteins appeared contain mostly turns loops showed “self-avoiding walk” behavior water. Cysteine residues involved intramolecular located next hydrophobic peptide...
This is the first study on freeze-dried foams prepared from glutenin- and gliadin-rich fractions of wheat gluten blends thereof. It was found that foam density stiffness could be controlled by a suitable choice glutenin/gliadin ratio. The glutenin-rich samples had highest densities decreased with increasing gliadin content. compression modulus also content, which explained decrease in density, more open porosity aggregated/polymerized structure presence glutenin. IR SE-HPLC revealed least...
Gliadin and glutenin proteins with 10, 20, 30 40% of glycerol were compression molded into films (130 °C) evaluated for protein polymerization, β-sheet structure nano-structural morphology. Here, the first time we show how different amounts impact nano-structure functional properties gliadin films. Most polymerized was found in 20 30% glycerol, all (except 10%), by RP-HPLC. A β-sheet-rich to be high 10 20% films, FT-IR. Glycerol content impacted morphology observed SAXS, a limited extent...
Functionalised indolines have been prepared by treating tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) with 2-(N-acyl-N -allylamino)benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborates. N-Benzoyl-protected substrates afford complex reaction mixtures due to competing radical cyclisation onto the benzoyl group. Acetamides react more efficiently affording good yields of product alcohols when reactions are carried out in moist acetone
The aim of the present study was to develop an understanding how wheat plants can be used as a “green factory” by modulation genotype (G) and environmental (E) interactions fine-tune structure increase strength gluten based materials.
Our aim was to understand mechanisms for clustering and cross-linking of gliadins, a wheat seed storage protein type, monomeric in native state, but incorporated network while processed. The were studied utilizing spectroscopy high-performance liquid chromatography on gliadin-rich fraction, vitro produced α-gliadins, synthetic gliadin peptides, by coarse-grained modelling, Monte Carlo simulations prediction algorithms. In solution, gliadins with α-helix structures (dip at 205 nm CD)...

A combination of genotype, cultivation environment, and protein separation procedure was used to modify the nanoscale morphology, polymerization, chemical structure glutenin proteins from wheat. low-polymerized starting material key protein-protein interactions mainly via SS cross-links during film formation, resulting in extended β-sheet structures propensity toward formation morphologies at molecular level. The properties bioplastic films were enhanced by selection a genotype with high...

Numerous approaches have been used to prevent bacterial infection from injured skin, such as bandages and topical creams. However, the higher level of reactive oxygen species, infections, excess wound exudates remain major challenges for healing. In this study, we tailored structure wheat gluten hydrolysates (WGH) a continuous matrix by compositing it with minimal amount PVA, PVP, PEG polymer crosslinkers (0.5 wt%) provide film integrity. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were impregnated into...
