Lipid-binding serum glycoprotein Lipid-binding serum glycoprotein In molecular biology, the lipid-binding serum glycoproteins family, also known as the BPI/LBP/Plunc family or LBP/BPI/CETP family represents a family which includes mammalian lipid-binding serum glycoproteins. Members of this family include: These proteins consist of N- and C-terminal domains, which share a similar two-layer alpha/beta structure, but show little sequence identity to each other. Bactericidal permeability-increasing protein (BPI) is a potent antimicrobial protein of 456 amino acids that binds to and neutralises lipopolysaccharides from the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. BPI contains two domains that adopt the same structural fold, even though they have little sequence similarity.
Blood, Sweat & Tools strong job they did. The winner of the public vote is then announced as the Red Team, who take home the $50,000 grand prize. Blood, Sweat & Tools Blood, Sweat & Tools is a Canadian television series broadcast on Discovery Channel. The series is hosted by Helder Brum, Rob Koci and Hillary Manion, who also act as the challenge judges and expert advisers to the contestants. The series is the successor of "Canada's Worst Handyman", and has a broadly similar format, but with an emphasis on rewarding competent handiwork rather than finding the nation's worst handyman.
