Plant Protein Function Analysis Services
Plant proteins are responsible for most of the biological functions in cells, including cytoskeleton, storage, enzymatic reactions, photosynthesis, biosynthesis, transportation, and immunity. In addition, plant proteins have medicinal values such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor. Therefore, it has become a hot spot to develop and utilize new proteins from plants.
Figure 1. Major sources of functional plant proteins. (Munialo, C.D.,2023) CD BioSciences provides clients with plant protein functional research services, which help to unravel the mechanism of plant proteins in terms of their anti-stress and medicinal value, We provide insights into plant biology, crop improvement, and the treatment of chronic diseases.
