	FLEXNEWS - Soy Protein Containing Food Product and Process for Preparing Same
		A soy protein concentrate is formed from soybeans by removing the hull and germ of the soybean from the cotyledon, flaking or grinding the cotyledon and removing oil from the flaked or ground cotyledon, and separating the soy protein and soy cotyledon fiber from the carbohydrates of the cotyledon.
		The starch is present in the low moisture fibrous material at from 5% to 15% by weight on a moisture free basis and in the high moisture fibrous material at from 1% to 5% by weight on a moisture free basis.
		The conditioned fibrous material is then fed to an extrusion apparatus (i.e., extruder) in which the fibrous material mixture is heated under mechanical pressure generated by the screws of the extruder to form a molten extrusion mass.

	Fibrous protein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fibrous proteins, also called scleroproteins, are long filamentous protein molecules that form one of the two main classes of tertiary structure protein (the other being globular proteins).
		Fibrous proteins are only found in animals and are practically water-insoluble.
		Examples of fibrous proteins include keratins, collagens and elastins.

	NIH ORBD~NRC - Fibrous Dysplasia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Fibrous dysplasia is a chronic disorder of the skeleton that causes expansion of one or more bones due to abnormal development of the fibrous, or connective, tissue within the bone.
		Recent studies indicate that fibrous dysplasia may be caused by a chemical abnormality in a protein in the bone that leads to an overgrowth of bone cells that produce fibrous tissue.
		Surgery is recommended for fibrous dysplasia to relieve intractable bone pain, to improve mobility that may be impaired due to skeletal deformity, to facilitate the healing of fractures, to relieve local pressure on the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or brain, and to treat the unusual complication of bone sarcoma.

	Protein - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
		Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues.
		Fibrous proteins are often structural; membrane proteins often serve as receptors or provide channels for polar or charged molecules to pass through the cell membrane.
		Proteins were recognized as a distinct class of biological molecules in the eighteenth century by Antoine Fourcroy and others, distinguished by the molecules' ability to coagulate or flocculate under treatments with heat or acid.

	Protein texturization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The process comprises continuously extruding the protein dough in the form of a relatively thin sheet of semi-rigid protein material into a confined treating zone while simultaneously subjecting the thin sheet in the extrusion die to externally applied heat to texturize both surfaces of the sheet before it enters into the confined zone.
		Suitable protein binders include vegetable proteins such as soy protein or other known proteins such as those derived from wheat, yeast, milk, egg, etc. In general, mixtures containing up to about 80% comminuted meat may be texturized according to the process of the present invention.
		The gaseous stream is directed at the protein sheet in such a way as to cause shear forces to develop in the sheet whereby a leading segment of the continuous sheet is broken off and passes through the remainder of the confined treating zone.

	Biology 403: Protein Structure
		Fibrous proteins aggregate to form highly elongated structures having the shape of fibers or sheets.
		If a protein is highly similar in sequence to a protein whose structure has already been experimentally determined, then we can often successfully make the assumption that the unknown protein's structure will be nearly identical to that of the known protein.
		In a protein, where there are thousands of protons and hundreds of nitrogen atoms, the resonances are thoroughly overlapped, and even if one could separate out one of the resonances, assigning it to a specific atom-atom interaction would be impossible.

		Polypeptides and proteins are held together by amide bonds between the animo-end on one amino acid molecule, and the carboxylate-end of another amino acid molecule.
		some proteins are reponsible for the transportation of smaller molecules from one part of the body to another, transport across cell membranes, etc. An example is hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body.
		Fibrous proteins adopt an extended, fiber-like structure and are important structural building-blocks.

		The insoluble protein may be a naturally occurring insoluble protein such as an insoluble fibrous protein.
		Suitable insoluble fibrous proteins preferred for the process of the invention may include the so-called structural fibrous proteins and derivatives thereof, such as insoluble collagen, keratin, fibrin and elastin.
		The rate of release of the hydrophilic active agents is modified by the presence of insoluble protein and droplets of oil in the emulsion and this allows the rate of release to be adjusted for different applications by adjusting the protein and/or the oil content of the emulsion.

	Lecture 6. Global Folding - Supersecondary Structure and Protein Morphology
		An isolated helix rarely forms a major protein component because it readily unfolds when surrounded by an aqueous medium; this is because helix stability relies primarily on hydrogen bonds, and hydrogen bonds can of course be as readily established with the solvent.
		An example are the calcium-binding proteins calmodulin and troponin C. Here the stabilizing factor may be the binding of 2 calcium ions near the carboxy terminal of the helix.
		This stabilizing effect is utilized even in helices that are embedded in globular proteins: A survey of the frequency of specific amino acids at the 2 ends of helices shows that acidic ones preferentially occur at the N terminal, basic ones preferentially at the C terminal.

		Fibrous proteins, including collagens and silks, provide important models for the fundamental study of protein-protein interactions, as well as suitable polymers for biomaterials related needs.
		Silks represent some of the most hydrophobic biopolymers generated in Nature, yet these proteins are solubilized to 30 weight percent in water in storage glands of these animals prior to spinning into fibers.
		The utility of these fibrous proteins for the formation of new biomaterials, along with their utility towards functional tissue engineering applications, will be highlighted with particular emphasis on relationships of fibrous protein structure, morphology and chemistry to cell and tissue responses.
