We report a case study of characterization of a non-enzymatically glycated IgG1 using reducing capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulfate (CE-SDS) and mass spectrometry (MS). Glycation was found to occur nonspecifically at multiple sites in both the light and heavy chains. The glycated light and heavy chains result in wider peaks eluting late in the reducing CE-SDS profile; in particular, the glycated light chain behaved as a shoulder peak detected by either ultraviolet (UV) or laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) signals. The glycated species can be enriched by boronate affinity chromatography. Analyzing the enriched samples by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography in line with time-of-flight MS (RP-HPLC-TOF/MS) revealed adducts of +162 and +324 Da to both the light and heavy chains, suggesting the presence of multiple glycation sites. Tryptic peptide mapping and tandem mass sequencing were used to identify two glycation sites on each of the light and heavy chains.

Colored polymer microspheres have attracted significant attention in both academia and industry due to their unique optical properties and extensive application potential. However, achieving a uniform distribution of dyes within these microspheres remains a challenge, particularly when heavy concentrations of dye are used, as this can lead to aggregation or delamination, adversely affecting their application. Additionally, many dyes are prone to degradation or fading when exposed to light, heat, or chemicals, which compromises the long-term color stability of the microspheres.

The complex cross-sectional shape of oversized beam blanks and the size effect of ultra-large-section beam blanks create severe issues related to the surface and internal quality of the castings. To ensure quality and control in the production of ultra-large-section beam blanks, a numerical and physical model of molten steel flow in the three-port submerged entrance nozzle (SEN) mould, with section dimensions of 1300 × 510 × 140 mm, was established. This model was created using numerical simulations and NSGA-II genetic algorithm optimisation, and the impact of the casting speed and SEN immersion depth on the mould's flow behaviour was investigated.

It is challenging to handle heavy-metal-rich plants that grow in contaminated soil. The role of heavy metals in biomass on the physicochemical structure and electrochemical properties of their derived carbon has not been considered in previous research. In this study, Cu-ion hybrid nanoporous carbon (CHNC) is prepared from Cu content-contaminated biomass through subcritical hydrocharization (HTC) coupling pyrolytic activation processes.

Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to cope with diverse abiotic stresses, with the phenylpropanoid pathway playing a central role in stress adaptation. This pathway produces an array of secondary metabolites, particularly polyphenols, which serve multiple functions in plant growth, development, regulating cellular processes, and stress responses. Recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying phenylpropanoid metabolism have revealed complex regulatory networks involving MYB transcription factors as master regulators and their interactions with stress signaling pathways.

Hypoxia/reoxygenation (HR) often occurs under cardiac pathological conditions, and HR-induced oxidative stress usually leads to cardiomyocyte damage. Carvedilol, a non-selective β-blocker, is used clinically to treat cardiac ischemia diseases. Moreover, Carvedilol has also been reported to have an antioxidant ability by reducing lipid peroxidation.
