Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) approach has become a valuable analytical complement to traditional methods. HDX-MS allows the identification of dynamic surfaces in proteins. We have shown that the introduction of various mutations into the amino acid sequence of whale apomyoglobin (apoMb) leads to a change in the number of exchangeable hydrogen atoms, which is associated with a change in its compactness in the native-like condition.

As a pro-oxidant, myoglobin (Mb) can induce lipid oxidation in meat. In this study, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometry, and fluorescence microscopy were used to evaluate the impact of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) formed from glucose and lysine on the oxidative stability of carp Mb. MRPs were found to inhibit the auto-oxidation of Mb, reducing MetMb production by 8.

At least two of the six methionine (Met) residues in dehaloperoxidase (DHP) are shown to act as electron donors in both autoreduction and protein-heme crosslinking. Autoreduction observed in the two isozymes, DHP-A and DHP-B, is explained by the high heme reduction potential and an endogenous source of electrons from methionine (Met) or cysteine (Cys). This study provides evidence of a connection to protein-heme crosslinking that occurs when DHP is activated by HO in competition with substrate oxidation and autoreduction.

Oral immunization offers a minimally invasive administration, inducing local and systemic immune responses and facilitating mass immunization without needle-related risks. However, the gastrointestinal environment poses challenges, compromising vaccine effectiveness through enzymatic degradation and poor absorption by Peyer's patches. Advances in nanoparticle and microparticle (NP/MP) technology protect vaccines from degradation and enhance targeted release.
