Abstract:
... Each protein in a multiprotein system assumed a different role at the colloidal interface. To determine exactly which proteins played a key role in the evolution of egg white foam, label-free quantitative proteomics techniques were employed to detect key proteins associated with egg white foam properties. There were 35 (14 up-regulated and 21 down-regulated) and 25 (13 up-regulated and 12 down-reg ...
... Gametogenesis can significantly affect the biochemical composition of oysters, but little research on the difference between sexes. Therefore, we conducted the first in-depth study on the composition differences between males and females of three different Crassostrea sp.. The results showed that females had higher glycogen, lipid, Cu and Zn contents than males, while males had higher protein and ...

Abstract:
... This study aims to elucidate the dynamic binding characteristics between off-odors (hexanal, 1-octen-3-ol, nonanal) and myosin at cold storage (277 K) and oral temperatures (310 K) through spatial–temporal molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Conformational analysis indicated that binding with off-odors could not significantly change the myosin secondary structure, and the myosin/(off-odors) struct ...
... Gardenia blue could be effectively stabilized by gelatin and could be further enhanced by high-temperature based covalent-crosslinking reaction. The crosslinking reaction between amino acids and genipin promotes the generation of new gardenia blue molecules, facilitates the stable network structure, and improves the thermal stability of gelatin-gardenia blue systems (T₁ increased to 90 °C and T₂ i ...

Abstract:
... Freezing injury to the flowers of deciduous fruit trees is being increasingly emphasized in the context of global warming due to low temperatures in spring. The annual accumulation of nutrients is affected by reserves in the organs during tree growth. In this study, changes in the total carbohydrate (TC), total starch (TS), and soluble solid (SS) content of shoots and changes in cold tolerance and ...

Abstract:
... Drying is an important process that can impart a different flavor to dried fish. The differences and sources of flavor of semi-dried golden pompano at different drying temperatures (40, 48, and 56 °C) were investigated, and the sensory quality, flavor substances, nonenzymatic reactions, and protein degradation were analyzed. Significant flavor differences were observed among different drying tempe ...

Abstract:
... CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)-associated proteins (Cas) are powerful gene-editing tools used in therapeutic applications. Efforts to minimize off-target cleavage by CRISPR-Cas9 have motivated the development of engineered Cas9 variants. The wild-type (WT) Streptococcus pyogenes (SpCas9) has been engineered into a high-fidelity Cas9 (SpyFi Cas9) that shows promi ...

Abstract:
... Soy protein isolate and egg white protein were added to cassava-banana gluten-free pasta and the effects on the nutritional quality, digestibility properties, protein digestibility corrected amino acid (PDCAA), and sensory acceptance of the pasta was observed. Banana-cassava composite flour (75:25) was blended with soy protein isolate or egg white protein at the following rates: 0, 5, 10, and 15 g ...
... To explore the contribution of different lipid oxidation stages to flavor formation in salted egg yolk, potential pathways of flavor formation were characterized by multi-omics strategy and partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). 72 lipids, 135 metabolites and 5 volatiles related to lipid oxidation were screened out. The degradation of aldehydes and ketones, and the generation o ...
... To protect the wellbeing of research animals, certain non-invasive measures are in increasing need to facilitate an early diagnosis of health and toxicity. In this study, feces specimen was collected from adult zebrafish to profile the metabolome fingerprint. Variability in fecal metabolite composition was also distinguished as a result of aging, perfluorobutanesulfonate (PFBS) toxicant, and fecal ...

Abstract:
... Lipoxygenase (LOX) catalyzes the peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids to produce hydroperoxides, which had been widely used in food, medicine and chemical industries due to its decoloration of food and conversion of renewable oils. Thus, higher catalytic activity and stability is desired for low-cost and expanded industrial applications of LOX. To improve the catalytic activity of LOX, a mutant ...

Abstract:
... The utilization of whey has become a challenge with the significant growth in the production of cheese and coagulated milk products. Consequently, we have developed cost-effective and waste-free production technologies for processing whey disposal into a variety of high-quality, value-added food products at the industrial level. This work constitutes a research on the impact of various alcoholic f ...
... Climate change leads to an increase in water acidification and temperature, two environmental factors that can change fish appetite and metabolism, affecting fish population in both wild and aquaculture facilities. Therefore, our study tested if climate change affects gene expression levels of two appetite-regulating peptides – Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Cholecystokinin (CCK) – in the brain of tamba ...

Abstract:
... With global warming and water scarcity, improving the drought tolerance and quality of crops is critical for food security and human health. Here, foliar application of carbon dots (CDs, 5 mg·L⁻¹) could scavenge reactive oxygen species accumulation in soybean leaves under drought stress, thereby enhancing photosynthesis and carbohydrate transport. Moreover, CDs stimulated root secretion (e.g., ami ...

Abstract:
... This research investigated the instant controlled pressure drop‐assisted hot air drying (DIC) impact on Maillard reaction‐related components of apple slices, with freeze drying (FD) and hot air drying (AD) as control. DIC apple slices were significantly (*p < .05) differentiated from FD and AD apple slices by marked browning, high levels of 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF), and fluorescence interme ...
... A Pd-catalyzed, native α-amino acid derivative-directed benzylic C–H bond arylation/oxidation with aryl iodides was developed. The natural amino acid auxiliary could serve as a desired building block for formation of 5-aryl-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones after removal of the trifluoroacetyl protecting group. The bifunctional reaction probably proceeded through a sequential benzylic arylation/oxidation p ...
... Copper-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution with salicylaldehyde-derived imine esters and propargylic carbonates has been successfully realized, generating a wide range of chiral amino acid derivatives containing propargylic groups with excellent results (up to 95% yield and 94% ee). The ortho-hydroxy group of the salicylaldehyde-derived imine esters is crucial to increase the reactivity ...

Abstract:
... In this study, we report an efficient protocol for Pd-catalyzed methylene β-C(sp³)–H cyanomethylation of 8-aminoquinoline-directed α-amino acids using inexpensive chloroacetonitrile. Iodoacetonitrile generated in situ from chloroacetonitrile reacts with methylene C(sp³)–H bonds of α-amino acids with excellent diastereoselectivity, enabling access to a wide range of important γ-cyano-α-amino acids. ...
... Protein 3D structures, determined by their amino acid sequences, are the support of major crucial biological functions. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an essential role in regulating these functions by altering the physicochemical properties of proteins. By virtue of their importance, several PTM databases have been developed and released in decades, but very few of these databases i ...
... Sequence-ensemble relationships of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are governed by binary patterns such as the linear clustering or mixing of specific residues or residue types with respect to one another. To enable the discovery of potentially important, shared patterns across sequence families, we describe a computational method referred to as NARDINI for Non-random Arrangement of Resid ...
