Functional proteins carry out a function in the body unlike structual proteins which produce structures (eg bones and muscles). An example of a functional protein is antibodies as they carry out the function of fighting off bacteria and virus'.

Shotgun scanning

A combinatorial method that uses statistics and DNA sequence analysis rapidly assesses the functional and structural importance of individual protein side chains to binding interactions. This general method, termed “shotgun scanning”, enables the rapid mapping of functional protein and peptide epitopes and is suitable for high throughput proteomics.

The invention provides chimeric proteins having at least two functional protein units, each containing the dimerization domain of a member of the steroid / thyroid hormone nuclear receptor superfamily. The chimeric proteins can fold under crystallization conditions to form functional entities. The functional entities optionally contain a novel flexible peptide linker of variable lengths between at least two of the protein units. In a preferred embodiment, the linker is designed to be increased in increments of 12 amino acids each to aid in preparation of variant chimeric proteins. The DNA binding characteristics of the invention functional entities differ from those of wild-type complexes formed between “monomeric” receptors and their binding partners. Some functional entities, e.g. dimers expressed as fusion proteins, transactivate responsive promoters in a manner similar to wild-type complexes, while others do not promote transactivation and function instead essentially as constitutive repressors. The invention further provides nucleotide sequences encoding the invention chimeric proteins, cells containing such nucleotide sequences, and methods for using the invention chimeric proteins to modulate expression of one or more exogenous genes in a subject organism. In addition, isolated protein crystals suitable for x-ray diffraction analysis and methods for obtaining putative ligands for the invention chimeric proteins are provided.

Compositions increasing moisture content and distribution in muscle-derived food products

Methods for making dry protein powder or aqueous functional protein suspension compositions which provide increased moisture content and moisture retention in meats and other animal muscle tissue-based products have been developed. An important aspect is the use of alkali rather than an acid or a series of acid and alkaline treatments to dissolve the protein in the starting material. This includes both muscle and connective tissue proteins and fats, yielding a product in higher yield than acid based and other processes in which fat and connective tissue is removed and then only the remaining muscle dissolved in the acid. The connective tissue and fat increases water retention in meat into which it is injected, as compared to meat extracts containing only muscle proteins.
