While doing some side-work for the place I am employed at, I was forced to research through a few old jouirnals, one included an excerpt from a medical journal. You can imagine my horror, when I had to find the meaning of this word.
In a journal it was wrote:
Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutamylserylleucyl-
It took me quite some time to spell it right, (I think) to even find out it was a protein strain, after all my work, the gentleman I was working with told me to call it "Titin" which is a lot easier on my brain. Unfortunately I was also looking in the wrong damn journal, and didn't need to do any of it..
Wikipedia wrote:
Titin is the largest known protein, consisting of 26,926 amino acids. The molecular weight of the mature protein is approximately 2,993,451.39 Da, and it has a theoretical pI of 6.01.[3] The protein's chemical formula is C132983H211861N36149O40883S693. It has a theoretical instability index (II) of 39.69, indicating that it would be stable in a test tube. The protein's in vivo half-life, the time it takes for half of the amount of protein in a cell to disappear after its synthesis in the cell, is predicted to be approximately 30 hours (in mammalian reticulocytes).[4]
