Nitrogen is a vital constituent of all proteins as well as other important molecules including DNA, but we can only use nitrogen once it has been broken down and combined into an  organic  molecule,
The number of humans that could be fed from 1 hectare of land (2. 47 acres) rose from 1. 9 to 4. 3. Half of the protein in our bodies now comes from ammonia made in the Haber process.
Ten times more nitrogen is used to produce food than humans consume as protein, and not all the nitrogen in the food we eat is used even by our bodies oe the excess enters the environment through human waste.

ranging from cataloguing stars in the distant corners of the universe with Galaxy Zoo to predicting the complex three dimensional structures of protein structures with Foldit.
and fold digital versions of protein molecules on their computer screens. Building the protein components needed for life involves a complex set of machinery in our cells translating information encoded in our genes into a sequence of amino acids,
which are wrapped then and folded by into a three-dimensional form designed to carry out its required function.
The amino-acid sequence dictates the shape the protein will eventually adopt, but even small proteins can potentially fold in a huge number of different ways,
and so it is always a challenge for computers to figure out which of the many possible structures is the best one.
With around 240,000 registered players Foldit is proving invaluable for researchers trying to solve the complex structural and folding patterns of proteins.

More than 100 different proteins play a role in photosynthesis interacting in countless different permutations, Long says.
For example, one potentially easy win they identified was to dial up production of just a single protein known as sedoheptulose bisphosphatase, or SBPASE.

Grasshoppers The advantages of this diet include insects high levels of protein, vitamin and mineral content.
insects convert plant matter into protein extremely efficiently, Van Huis says. In addition, he argues, the health risks are lower.
because the protein was easy to study. The study began when Freeman and his colleagues used the UK Science Research Councils supercomputer called HECTOR (High End Computing Terascale Resource),
What they found was called a protein ovocledidin-17 (OC-17), that exists only in a chickens ovaries
The protein acts as an ongoing builder that pieces microscopic parts of the shell together by converting calcium carbonate into calcite crystals.
The shell would not exist without this protein, which only exists in chickens, so the end result is that the chicken came first.
The protein was discovered before this research project, but HECTOR made it easier for the researchers to observe the process oein microscopic detail,
thus understand the proteins significance in the eggshell-making procedure. So what does this mean for those who always thought the egg came first?

which is made mainly up of a protein called Human Serum albumin and is given to patients suffering heavy blood loss.
Human Serum albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood and performs important functions including carrying hormones and minerals around the body,
Human Serum albumin is an important protein. The demand for it is estimated at more than 500 tons per year worldwide.
turning the plants into biological factories#that can produce proteins that are identical to those found in humans.
and the resulting protein was chemically and physically identical to that found in blood. Over successive generations they were able to increase the amount of Human Serum albumin produced in the rice grains until it accounted for 10 per cent of the soluble protein produced in the rice seeds.
It comes just months after Chinese scientists announced they had modified genetically a herd of around 300 diary cows to produce milk with the same qualities as human breast milk,
however, that the protein produced by the genetically modified rice was identical to Human Serum albumin found naturally in Blood tests on rats also showed it did not produce any adverse reactions.
They also treated rats suffering from cirrhosis with the protein and showed it was effective at relieving the symptoms

The FAO reports that there are more than1000 edible insect species. Insects can provide protein in the diet at a much lower environmental cost than traditional livestock, such as cows, pigs, or sheep.
focusing especially on developing areas where protein supplies are scarce and sustainable harvesting of insects can contribute to both nutritional and economic improvements.
Insects offer many advantages as a sustainable source of protein. The cold-blooded creatures require less feed to produce proteins.
For example, a cricket can produce the protein equivalent of cows with six times less feed. Furthermore, insects can often feed on organic waste matter.
Moreover insects are considered already delicacies in many cultures, and the practice of eating insects goes back millenia.

Based on these experiments Atwater concluded that proteins and carbohydrates have about 4 calories per gram fats have 9 calories per gram
For proteins it's about 20 to 30 percent of the food's calories so if we eat 100 calories worth of protein we get about 80 calories from it Carmody said.
For fats it's much less about 0 to 3 percent she said. So if we eat 100 calories worth of fat we'd get 97 of those calories.
