The protein transition motivates the use of plant proteins, but their application in food emulsions is challenging, especially when high concentrations of oil and salt are needed for formulation and sensory properties. In the present work, we connect the iso-electric point of two potato protein isolates (patatin-rich, POPI-200; protease inhibitor-rich, POPI-300) and a faba protein isolate (FPI) to the behavior in the bulk phase and at the interface, and relate this to the physical stability of 45 wt% oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in the presence of NaCl at pH 4.0-7.

The success of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and their biosimilars, highlights the challenge to control their purity, identity, and stability. For this purpose, among several orthogonal methodologies, imaged capillary Iso Electric Focusing (icIEF) is one of the leading techniques. Despite the isoelectric point (pI) being a univocal parameter relying on the protein's primary sequence and its post-translational modifications (PTMs), the current Charge Variants Profile Assessment (CVPA) carried out by cIEF relies on relative comparisons with corresponding reference standards, this is because the inconsistent outputs for the same sample across different instruments preclude the uniqueness of the measured parameters.

Therapeutic mAbs show a specific "charge fingerprint" that may affect safety and efficacy, and, as such, it is often identified as a critical quality attribute (CQA). Capillary iso-electric focusing (cIEF), commonly used for the evaluation of such CQA, provides an analytical tool to investigate mAb purity and identity across the product lifecycle. Here, we discuss the results of an analysis of a panel of antibody products by conventional and whole-column imaging cIEF systems performed as part of European Pharmacopoeia activities related to development of "horizontal standards" for the quality control of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).

It improves enzyme stability, activity, specificity, or selectivity, particularly the enantioselectivity compared to the native enzymes, and by solving the separation problem, it helps in recovering the catalyst with good reusability as desired in vitro. Motivated by these facts, in this work, Jack bean urease (JBU) is immobilized on three-dimensional (3D)-network silica gel (SG) via multipoint covalent bonding employing dimethyldichlorosilane (DMDCS) and -nitrophenol, respectively, as the second-generation silane-coupling reagent and spacer.

Modification of enzyme/protein conformation will affect the activities and functionality of enzymes. Previous studies have shown that the activity of lysozyme (LSZ) in the presence of humic acid (HA) is largely determined by the mass ratio of HA/LSZ (f = mHA/mLSZ), pH and ionic strength. Here the interaction and conformation of LSZ in HA/LSZ-complex/aggregate (HA/LSZ-c/a) were investigated by spectroscopic techniques at (initial) pH 5 and 8 and ionic strength 5 mmol/L.
