In recent years, there has been increasing interest in developing novel materials based on natural biopolymers as a renewable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. The availability of proteins derived from agricultural by-products, along with their favourable properties, has fostered a renewed interest in protein-based materials, promoting research in innovative technologies. In this study, we propose the use of rapeseed protein-rich meal as the main ingredient for the preparation of novel sustainable materials combining excellent environmental properties such as biodegradability and renewability.

- Researchers introduced a new photoswitchable spin label, erythrosin B, for enhanced electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, specifically for biological studies.
- The study explores how orientational effects impact distance measurements between spin labels in a peptide, achieving results that align well with theoretical predictions.
- The method is practical at higher temperatures, reducing costs associated with traditional cooling techniques, making LiPDS more accessible for structural biology research.
