The large geometry change associated with azobenzene photoisomerization has also been used to control protein activity with light.

The presence of polyribosomes in spines also suggests protein translational activity in the spine itself, not just in the dendrite.

SPR can be a powerful method for quickly determining protein activity and overall yield.

Protein microarray analysis can be used to detect subtle changes in protein activity in signaling pathways.

If the protein activity could be increased in other plants, Dr. Blumwald hypothesized, they could grow in salty environments.

Adenylate Kinase is a signal transducing protein; thus, the balance between conformations regulates protein activity.

Pharmaceutical interventions aim to modulate the aberrant protein activity, not genetic defect.

This format is sometimes preferred because it avoids the need to immobilize the target protein which might result in the potential loss of protein activity.

Additional components can be included during synthesis to adjust the environment for protein folding, disulfide bond formation, modification or protein activity.

These results clearly illustrate that changes in total protein level are not always indicative of altered protein activity.
