ABSTRACT A simple solid-phase binding assay was used to screen for interactions that the giant myofibrillar protein titin makes with other sarcomeric proteins. The in tests purified by a modified procedure results isolation of ∼20 mg relatively undegraded <24 h. In addition ∼3 MDa polypeptide, bands at ∼160 kDa and ∼100 were also consistently seen on gels. Binding myosin, C-protein, X-protein AMP-deaminase observed. interaction myosin appears be light meromyosin part molecule.

Biological agents such as extracellular vesicles (EVs) and growth factors, when administered in vivo, often face rapid clearance, limiting their therapeutic potential. To address this challenge enhance efficacy, we propose the electrostatic conjugation sequestration of these into gelatin-based biomaterials. In study, gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) were synthesized via nanoprecipitation method, with adjustments to pH solution (4.0 or 10.0) introduce either a positive negative charge...
