| Abstract | The authors have recently reported on the design of a protein (MB-1) enriched in methionine, threonine, lysine, and leucine. The protein is intended to be produced by rumen bacteria, in a way that would provide high producing lactating cows with limiting amino acids. In this report, MB-1 stability in the rumen is assessed, i.e., where the protein might be found after cell lysis or after being secreted by rumen bacteria. Current in vitro methods used to predict proteolytic degradability in the rumen were used for MB-1, as well as other natural proteins for comparison. MB-1 was found to be more susceptible to degradation than cytochrome c and ribonuclease A. Data indicate that MB-1 will be rapidly degraded if exposed to the rumen environment without protection. The contribution of folding stability to proteolytic stability was also examined. Rumen liquor components were selected to formulate a solution compatible with constraints of thermal denaturation studies. Denaturation curves show that the natural proteins were folded at rumen temperature. The MB-1 denaturation curves indicated that MB-1 does not unfold in a cooperative transition when heated from 20 to 70‡C. This suggests that MB-1 structure may be progressively modified as temperature increases, and that a continuum of conformations are available to MB-1. At 39‡C, a significant (50%) portion of MB-1 molecules had their tertiary structure unfolded, contributing to proteolytic degradability. Despite the unusual constraints used in MB-1 design (i.e., a maximized content in selected essential amino acids), results show that MB-1 has structural properties similar to previously reportedde novo designed proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
