Despite the unique properties of cereal storage proteins which strongly influence the quality of cereal food products, the molecular determinants at the basis of the exceptional functionality of these proteins during cereal processing are still poorly understood. In addition, some of these proteins have proven valuable for producing nano- and microparticles that can be used as bioactive carrier systems. However, here again, insight into the molecular conformations and interactions is lacking, which hampers the targeted design of particles with specific properties and encapsulation potential.

尽管谷物储存蛋白的独特特性强烈影响谷物食品的质量，但在谷物加工过程中这些蛋白质的特殊功能的分子决定因素仍然知之甚少。此外，这些蛋白质中的一些已被证明对于生产可用作生物活性载体系统的纳米和微粒有价值。但是，在这里，缺乏对分子构象和相互作用的洞察力，这阻碍了具有特定特性和封装潜力的颗粒的靶向设计。
