In anatomy a crystallin is a water-soluble structural protein found in the lens and the cornea of the eye accounting for the transparency of the structure. It has also been […]

Cyclooxygenase (COX) officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS) is an enzyme (EC 1.14.99.1) that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids including prostaglandins prostacyclin and thromboxane.

Thaumatin is a low-calorie sweetener and flavour modifier. The protein is often used primarily for its flavour-modifying properties and not exclusively as a sweetener.The thaumatins were first found as a […]

Ribulose-15-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase commonly known by the abbreviation RuBisCO is an enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation a process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is converted by […]

Ornithine transcarbamoylase (OTC) (also called ornithine carbamoyltransferase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between carbamoyl phosphate (CP) and ornithine (Orn) to form citrulline (Cit) and phosphate (Pi). In plants […]
