Prediction of the conformation of the cow and sheep kappa-caseins

Abstract

The secondary structures of cow and sheep kappa-caseins were established according to the predictive rules of Chou and Fasman. The diagrams derived from this treatment allowed us to study the chymosin sensitive bond (milk-clotting process), as well as the glycosylation and phosphorylation sites, found to be situated in beta-turns. Despite a high variability between the primary structures of the COOH-terminal part (caseinoglycopeptide) of cow, sheep, and also other caseins, the secondary structures of the biologically important sites were found to be conserved.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
