Effect of biotin deficiency on embryonic development in the domestic fowl (1944) with reference and cited by articles

The approximate biotin requirements of breeding hens have been established and the embryos examined for gross pathological symptoms and the approximate age at death are recorded. Cravens, W.W., W., &…

Biotin

BIOTIN Biotin is involved in a wide range of metabolic processes in humans and in other organisms, primarily related to the utilization of fats, carbohydrates, and amino acids. The name…

Tetramers and tetrameric protein

A tetramer is an oligomer formed from four monomers or subunits. The associated property is called tetramery. An example from inorganic chemistry is titanium methoxide with the empirical formula Ti(OCH3)4, which is tetrameric in solid state and has the molecular formula Ti4(OCH3)16. An example from organic chemistry is kobophenol A,…

Avidin is a tetrameric biotin-binding protein produced in the oviducts of birds, reptiles, amphibians

Dimeric members of the avidin family are also found in some bacteria. In chicken egg white, avidin makes up approximately 0.05% of total protein (approximately 1800 ÎŒg per egg). The tetrameric protein…
