3D variability analysis reveals a hidden conformational change controlling ammonia transport in human asparagine synthetase

Abstract Advances in X-ray crystallography and cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) Trims offer the promise of elucidating functionally relevant conformational changes that are not easily studied by other biophysical methods.Here we show that 3D variability analysis (3DVA) of the cryo-EM map for wild-type (WT) human asparagine synthetase (ASNS)

Impact of Processing Method on AQF Functionality in Bakery Items

Aquafaba (AQF) has the unique ability to foam like egg whites and is a waste product of cooked chickpea that is not currently utilized by the food industry.Thus, the goal of this research was to concentrate the solids by reverse osmosis (cAQF) followed by drying.Dried AQF was prepared by cooking chickpea in excess water.After removal of the chickpe
