Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis, known also as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, is a gram-positive, catalase-positive bacterium, found in soil and the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, humans and marine sponges.

Beta barrel

In protein structures, a beta barrel (β barrel) is a beta sheet (β sheet) composed of tandem repeats that twists and coils to form a closed toroidal structure in which the first strand is bonded to the last strand (hydrogen bond).

See Cupin superfamily and Beta barrel

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See Cupin superfamily and Enzyme

Jelly roll fold

The jelly roll or Swiss roll fold is a protein fold or supersecondary structure composed of eight beta strands arranged in two four-stranded sheets.

See Cupin superfamily and Jelly roll fold

Lafayette Mendel

Lafayette Benedict Mendel (February 5, 1872 – December 9, 1935) was an American biochemist known for his work in nutrition, with longtime collaborator Thomas B. Osborne, including the study of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, lysine and tryptophan.

Legumin

Legumin is family of globular proteins obtained from beans, peas, lentils, vetches, hemp and other leguminous seeds.

See Cupin superfamily and Legumin

Oxalate oxidase

In enzymology, an oxalate oxidase is an oxalate degrading enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: The 3 substrates of this enzyme are oxalate, O2, and H+, whereas its two products are CO2 and H2O2.

See Cupin superfamily and Oxalate oxidase

Oxalic acid

Oxalic acid is an organic acid with the systematic name ethanedioic acid and chemical formula, also written as or or.

See Cupin superfamily and Oxalic acid

Protein superfamily

A protein superfamily is the largest grouping (clade) of proteins for which common ancestry can be inferred (see homology). Cupin superfamily and protein superfamily are protein superfamilies.

Pseudocereal

A pseudocereal or pseudograin is one of any non-grasses that are used in much the same way as cereals (true cereals are grasses).

See Cupin superfamily and Pseudocereal

Shewanella oneidensis

Shewanella oneidensis is a bacterium notable for its ability to reduce metal ions and live in environments with or without oxygen.

See Cupin superfamily and Shewanella oneidensis

Storage protein

Storage proteins serve as biological reserves of metal ions and amino acids, used by organisms.

See Cupin superfamily and Storage protein

Thomas Burr Osborne (chemist)

Thomas Burr Osborne (August 5, 1859 – January 29, 1929) was an American biochemist who, with Lafayette Mendel, independently discovered Vitamin A, though Elmer McCollum and Marguerite Davis were ultimately given credit, as they had submitted their paper first by three weeks.

Vicilin

Vicilin is a legumin-associated globulin protein.

See Cupin superfamily and Vicilin
