Sentence examples for albumin from inspiring English sources
"albumin" is correct and it is a noun that is used in written English
You can use it when referring to the protein in blood plasma or egg whites. For example, "The chemist was testing the albumin levels in the lab samples."
noun
Any of a class of monomeric proteins that are soluble in water, and are coagulated by heat; they occur in egg white, milk etc; they function as carrier protein for steroids, fatty acids, and thyroid hormones and play a role in stabilizing extracellular fluid volume.
The result, as they recently reported in Biomacromolecules, is that they can spin bovine serum albumin into long, even fibres that are perfect for creating both suture threads and thick mats similar to conventional wound dressings, but on a small scale.
And two other lines of evidence from the paper also indicate that the proteins involved in anaesthesia have albumin-like qualities.One is that only albumin responds to changes in the concentration of isoflurane in the way that would be predicted if it were acting like a protein responding to anaesthesia.
And, until now, that has been true of bovine serum albumin.
Not only are these threads and mats readily accepted by the body, but the albumin of which they are composed has glue-like properties, which helps to stick torn tissues together.The consequence is that sutures made with these new threads are expected to reduce the scarring left when the stitches are removed.
The reasons for picking it are that it is already produced on a commercial scale (it has many applications in biochemistry) and that it is sufficiently similar to human serum albumin, one of the most abundant proteins in the human body, for the immune system not to notice it.
Although electrospun bovine serum albumin does not actually break up into droplets, the resulting threads have been so short and irregular as to be useless.What Dr Zussman and his colleagues have managed to do is break the internal bonds in the protein molecules by mixing them with a chemical called beta-mercaptoethanol.
They found that the threads' electrical conductivity varied according to the level of albumin.
Seeds contain very small amounts of albumins (0.1 0.5 percent by weight).
The term albumen was once applied to water-soluble protein systems, such as egg white, containing proteins other than albumins.
If the disease progresses to the third stage, severe anemia and imbalance of protein (e.g., albumins, globulins) and electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium, and chlorine in solution) may precipitate total debilitation.
The first challenge to the theory came in the late 1960s from American biochemist Allan Wilson and American anthropologist Vincent Sarich, who, at the University of California, Berkeley, had been comparing the molecular chemistry of albumins (blood proteins) among various animal species.
