a New Twist in Protein Lipid Interactions This article was published originally at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Live Science's Expert Voices:
Scientists at La Trobe University published a study this week about a protein found in the flowers of ornamental tobacco plant that targets human cancer cells
Mark Hulett Marc Kvansakul and others from the Biochemistry Department used a range of techniques to examine the structure and function of a protein called Nad1.
This protein is a type of defensin a molecule that protects the plant from fungal infections.
In other words they developed bulges and then burst in the presence of this protein. There is unlikely to be a more satisfying experiment than one that results in the explosion of tumour cells.
It may be that by binding PIP2 molecules the Nad1 protein undermines the external structure of the cell leading to the aforementioned blebbing and lysis.
Gluten is a protein found in many grains including wheat barley and rye. People who don't fall into either of these groups would probably not be advised to cut gluten out of their diet in pregnancy

A pregnant woman needs more calcium folic acid iron and protein than a woman who is not expecting according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG.
Protein: More protein is needed during pregnancy but most women don't have problems getting enough of these foods in their diets said Sarah Krieger a registered dietitian and spokeswoman on prenatal nutrition for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in St petersburg Florida.
She described protein as a builder nutrient because it helps to build important organs in the baby such as the brain and heart.
Food sources: meat poultry fish dried beans and peas eggs nuts tofu. During pregnancy the goal is to be eating nutritious foods most of the time Krieger told Live Science.
fruits vegetables lean protein whole grains and dairy products. When counseling pregnant women Krieger recommends they fill half their plates with fruits
and vegetables a quarter of it with whole grains and a quarter of it with a source of lean protein and to also have a dairy product at every meal.
Lean protein: Pregnant women should include good protein sources at every meal to support the baby's growth such as meat poultry fish eggs beans tofu cheese milk and nuts Krieger said.
Whole grains are an important source of energy in the diet and they also provide fiber iron and B-vitamins.
which provide good dietary sources of calcium protein and Vitamin d. In addition to a healthy diet pregnant women also need a daily prenatal vitamin to obtain some of the nutrients that are hard to get from foods alone such as folic acid and iron according to ACOG.
Fish is a good source of lean protein and some fish including salmon and sardines also contain omega-3 fatty acids a healthy fat that's good for the heart.

#What Is Whey Protein? Whey protein is a popular diet supplement among people of all ages.
Baby formulas include it as do nutrition shakes for the elderly. Weight-loss supplements contain whey powder as an appetite suppressor yet young men buy whey protein powder by the gallon in hopes of building muscle mass.
Much of whey protein's appeal is in its texture. Whey is the liquid left behind
when milk is turned to cheese. The protein in whey is one of the two main proteins in milk the other is called a protein casein.
When an acidic substance such as vinegar is mixed into milk these two proteins will separate--the casein proteins glob together to form solids called curds leaving the whey as a liquid.
Whey protein may show up in your favorite baked goods or ice cream as a way to replace the consistency of fat without the actual fat.
Like all proteins whey protein is made of building blocks called amino acids. Protein in the body is used primarily for muscle growth
and to repair tissues. When people digest food they break down the proteins into amino acids and then use those amino acids to build new proteins.
Body builders prize whey protein as a good source of the amino acids leucine isoleucine and valine.
Together these amino acids make up the BCAAS (3-branched chain amino acids) that are important in building muscle.
There are nine essential amino acids that humans must get from food to survive and thrive. In addition to BCAAS whey protein also contains all the essential amino acids.
Early studies have linked whey protein supplements with a stronger immune system and athletic endurance. But whey protein supplements are touted as a way to increase energy fight stress
and improve mental focus. Very early studies indicate whey protein may have a role in the body's cancer-fighting abilities.
Whey protein is said also to help control blood sugar lower cholesterol treat asthma and possibly prevent allergies.
Do whey protein supplements work? Whey protein supplements can certainly provide high-quality protein in the diet.
But most health organizations including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend getting your protein from food
and not supplements if given the choice. Meat poultry fish legumes tofu eggs nuts seeds and milk are all good sources of the essential amino acids people need.
Early studies have shown taking whey protein supplements before or after exercise can improve muscle strength lean-muscle growth and immunity.
One study of 387 U s. Marines put protein supplements to test during basic training. At the end of 54 days the protein-supplemented group showed stronger immune systems with 33 percent fewer medical visits than the Marines given a placebo or a carbohydrate and fat supplement.
Marines taking the protein supplements also experienced less muscle soreness and had 28 percent fewer medical visits for muscle and joint problems.
The members of the group taking protein supplements were also less likely to visit doctors for infections during the study published in 2003 in the Journal of Applied Physiology.
Among other protein supplements small studies show whey protein may have an edge at increasing muscle mass.
In one study researchers at the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Connecticut divided 63 men and women into groups receiving a soy supplement a whey supplement or a carbohydrate supplement.
Over the course of a nine-month training regimen researchers found that those taking whey protein gained several more kilograms of muscle mass than people taking the other supplements according to the 2013 article published in the Journal of the American
College of Nutrition. But the timing of taking whey protein supplements can change how effective they are.
A 2009 joint statement by the American Dietetic Association (ADA) Dietitians of Canada (DC) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) noted that eating protein during exercise did little to improve athletic performance.
The statement recommended eating a low-fat high-carb snack that is moderate in protein content before exercise to make fuel available to the muscles.
Protein digested after exercise provides the amino acids the body needs to repair and build new muscles.
Eating whey protein right after exercise could be especially useful because whey protein has a high level of leucine an easily absorbed amino acid according to Joslin Diabetes Center.
Many of whey protein's purported health benefits are linked to a powerful antioxidant called glutathione.
People with HIV liver disease diabetes and various cancers can all develop low glutathione levels in the body.
The body can make its own glutathione from the amino acid cysteine and whey happens to be high in cysteine.
Studies confirm eating whey protein increases the levels of glutathione in the body. However there is only preliminary evidence investigating
whether whey protein has a meaningful effect on the health of people with conditions linked to low glutathione.
Small studies done in people show whey protein may have a modest effect on asthma symptoms inflammation after stroke and some liver conditions by indirectly increasing glutathione levels.
Animal studies show whey protein supplements fed to rats can prevent inflammation and early signs of complications from obesity and diabetes according to a 2012 review published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease.
The review also found promising evidence that whey protein can trigger the release of hormones that make people feel full
and very preliminary evidence that whey protein may help lower high blood pressure. Whey protein also shows a potential for lowering blood sugar.
A study of 14 people with type 2 diabetes found that combining whey protein with a high-sugar meal increased people's insulin production
and quelled the expected blood sugar spike following the meal. The study was published i 2005 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Are whey protein supplements safe? The safety of whey protein supplements depends largely on the dose.
Most Americans eat twice the protein they need according to the National institutes of health (NIH. Excess protein of any kind will be stored as fat in the body
and can increase the risk of dehydration. Too much protein may also increase a person's risk for calcium loss
and osteoporosis. That's because acids are released into the bloodstream when protein is digested and the body uses calcium to neutralize these acids.
It is possible that the extra calcium needed will be leeched from bones according to the NIH. However studies are inconclusive on this point.
Some research shows high-protein diets are correlated with more fractures but other research has found people with high-protein diets have increased bone density according to the Harvard School of Public health.
Athletes can safely eat more protein than people who are not physically active. In fact an athlete who does not get enough protein will sustain some muscle damage
and take longer to recover. The average person needs 0. 8 grams of protein a day per every kilogram of body weight.
This translates to about 50 to 65 grams of protein a day or roughly 4 ounces of meat and 1 cup of cottage cheese.
On the other hand an athlete may need 1. 2 grams or even up to 2. 0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight a day according to various statements by the American Dietetic Association the American College of Sports Medicine and the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
Because whey is a dairy product people with milk allergies should avoid whey protein. People who are lactose intolerant should also take caution.
Different whey protein powders can vary in calories and fat and lactose content. Whey protein isolate is 90 percent protein
and contains little to no fat cholesterol or lactose. But whey protein concentrate can have 29 to 90 percent protein
and as the proportion of protein goes down the fat and lactose content in a whey protein supplement increases.
Protein supplements of any kind may cause additional strain on the kidneys if a person has a kidney condition.
Most supplements on the market haven't caused problems but there is less oversight of supplements sold in the United states than of prescription drugs.
In their joint statement the American Dietetic Association and the American College of Sports Medicine noted some cases of protein supplements also containing anabolic steroids.
One 2010 experiment by Consumer Reports tested 15 protein drinks purchased online or from stores in the New york metro area.
The study found three products that would exceed the daily limit of arsenic cadmium and mercury set by the U s. Pharmacopeial Convention
if a person consumed more than the three recommended servings. Whey protein may also interact with some medications.
Whey protein supplements can decrease the effectiveness of the Parkinson's drug levodopa. Whey protein supplements may also reduce how much of the osteoporosis drug alendronate is absorbed by the body making the medicine less effective.
Whey protein supplements may reduce the effectiveness of quinolone and tetracycline antibiotics. People with diabetes may experience changes in blood sugar when taking protein supplements.
It is best to talk to your doctor about your athletic goals and personal needs before starting protein supplements.
Overall the International Society of Sports Nutrition considered a short-term regimen of whey protein supplements safe for most healthy adults.

#Missing Link? Mississippi Floods, and a Great City Disappears The mysterious abandonment of one of North america's first big cities may be linked to a massive Mississippi river flood 800 years ago a new study finds.
In the bottom of an oxbow lake next to Cahokia Ill. which was the most powerful and populous city north of Mexico in A d. 1200 lie the buried remains of a flood that likely destroyed the crops and houses of more than 15000 people.
Researchers investigating pollen records of Cahokia's farming and deforestation discovered distinctive evidence of the flood:

The treatment involved a pig bladder that had been stripped of its cells leaving only a scaffold made of tough proteins.
In the study the protein scaffold that holds the cells of a pig bladder in place worked by attracting stem cells to the site the injury
This would ensure that the protein scaffold had the effect the doctors were seeking and any healing they saw was not due to some other factor.
It occurs because proteins found in some fresh fruits and vegetables are similar to allergy-causing proteins found in pollens such as ragweed birch mugwort and grasses.
Not long after some people with seasonal allergies eat uncooked fruits and raw vegetables as well as some nuts and spices these people's immune systems recognize a similarity between the food and pollen's proteins.
This is called cross reactivity. The thinking in the field is that the pollen allergy is the driver behind the immune response to the food said Dr. Wayne Shreffler director of the Food Allergy Center at Massgeneral Hospital for Children in Boston.
That's because the food's allergy-causing protein is broken easily down by cooking or processing.
