Descrição
Resumo:Fish muscle protein presents unique properties such as reduced frozen storage stability and setting phenomena.Both two are associated with myosin interactions and are highly dependent on fish specie. Although protein functionalproperties are highly correlated with amino acid sequence and with distinct structural domains, it is very difficult todetermine this relationship for fish myosin, due to its high molecular weight and the great varieties of fishes. The presentstudy deals with the feasibility for studying such relationship employing available isolated monoclonal antibodies whoseepitopes has been well-characterized on chicken myosin heavy chain. This alternative opens a new way to be explored.
