General Information
• Casein contains a mixture of related phosphoproteins present in bovine milk and cheese. It contains all of the common amino acids and is rich in the essential ones.
Applications
• Casein is a source of amino acids, carbohydrates, and two inorganic elements namely calcium and phosphorus
• This compound can be used in in vitro digestion experiments with rodents
• It can increase the photostability of quantum dots and decrease nonspecific binding in immunofluorescence experiments
• Casein, in biochemical experiments, can be used to prepare P407-casein hydrogels and to study the mechanical effects of the addition of casein to P407
