The protein will be characterised using N -terminal sequencing and mass spectrometric methods . The functions of osteopontin and selected fragments will be further examined using a variety of biochemical techniques. The solution structure of these peptides will be examined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques. Molecular modelling techniques will also be used to analyse the data. Identification and characterisation of novel proteins from milk.
Milk is a multi-functional body fluid containing a cocktail of proteins.
These proteins have not all been identified or characterised. The proteins will be characterised using N -terminal sequencing and mass spectrometric methods . Amino acid and peptide transport and utilisation by Porphyromonas gingivalis. P. gingivalis is associated with the initiation and development of some human periodontal diseases. It is an asaccharolytic bacterium that is dependent on the fermentation of amino acids for energy production.
