The kinetics and mechanism of thermal inactivation of Penicillium canescens alpha-galactosidase in the temperature range of 55-65 degrees C have been studied. The kinetic scheme of alpha-galactosidase thermal inactivation was proposed which included the reversible dissociation of active hexamers into associating monomers and irreversible denaturation of monomers. The kinetic constants of thermal inactivation have been determined. The effect of enzyme concentration and purification efficiency has been investigated. A possibility of defence of protein molecule from thermal inactivation in the presence of BSA, glycerol, melibiose, raffinose and stachyose is shown.

Caffeine (CAFF) is abundant in black coffee. As one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, coffee has been the focus of increasing clinical and basic research, particularly regarding its benefits in alleviating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the therapeutic effects of CAFF on metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Patients with cancer undergoing cisplatin chemotherapy frequently experience cardiotoxic side effects that significantly affect their prognosis and survival rates. Our study found that Panax ginseng root extract exerted a significant protective effect against cisplatin-induced myocardial cell injury.
Purpose: The present study aims to elucidate the underlying mechanisms by which the bioactive components of Panax ginseng mitigate cisplatin-induced cardiotoxicity (CIC).

There is an ever-increasing demand for novel plant proteins that are non-allergenic, nutritionally complete, adequately functional, and can be sustainably sourced. RuBisCo is a protein that fulfills these requirements and can be sourced from alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Therefore, this study investigated several techniques to adequately extract alfalfa protein.
