The quest for cleaner and sustainable energy sources is crucial, considering the current scenario of a steep rise in energy consumption and the fuel crisis, exacerbated by diminishing fossil fuel reserves and rising pollutants. In particular, the bioaccumulation of hazardous substances like trivalent chromium has not only disrupted the fragile equilibrium of the ecological system but also poses significant health hazards to humans. Microalgae emerged as a promising solution for achieving sustainability due to their ability to remediate contaminants and produce greener alternatives such as biofuels.

spp. exhibit remarkable resilience to extreme environmental stresses, including thermal, acidic, desiccation, and osmotic conditions, posing significant challenges to food safety. Their thermotolerance relies on heat shock proteins (HSPs), thermotolerance genomic islands, enhanced DNA repair mechanisms, and metabolic adjustments, ensuring survival under high-temperature conditions.

The present study has evaluated different soybean genotypes to understand the salt and drought tolerance mechanisms based on physiological traits (photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll, and cell membrane stability), antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and peroxidase), reactive oxygen species (HO and O ), osmolytes (glycine betaine, proline, and Na/K), plant water relations (relative water content, water potential, and solute potential) and expression of related genes (, , , , , , , and ). The experiment was conducted in a two-factorial arrangement using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with genotypes as one factor and salt, drought, and control treatments as the other factor. All physiological traits, relative water content, and water potential decreased significantly in all soybean genotypes due to individual and combined treatments of drought and salt stress, with significantly less decrease in soybean genotypes G4620RX, DM45X61, and NARC-21.

Enhanced stabilization of protein structures via the presence of inert osmolytes is a key mechanism adopted both by physiological systems and in biotechnological applications. While the intrinsic stability of proteins is ultimately fixed by their amino acid composition and organization, the interactions between osmolytes and proteins together with their concentrations introduce an additional layer of complexity and in turn, a method of modulating protein stability. Here, we combined experimental measurements with molecular dynamics simulations and graph-theory-based analyses to predict the stabilizing/destabilizing effects of different kinds of osmolytes on proteins during heat-mediated denaturation.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how different substances, like denaturants and osmolytes, affect the shape and behavior of the Aβ(16-22) peptide, which is important in Alzheimer's disease.
- - The researchers found that using specific backbone torsional angles in their simulations helped them achieve more reliable results compared to broader structural measurements.
- - The findings indicate that certain compounds, like trifluoroethanol and TMAO, encourage compact configurations of the peptide, while others, like urea, lead to elongated forms, which could be relevant for reducing amyloid fibril formation and aiding drug screening.
