The physicochemical, functional, antioxidant and anticancer properties of protein isolates from the seeds of Soybean (SP), Black soybean (BSP), Adzuki bean (ABP), and Mung bean (MBP) were comparatively characterized. The difference was found in the protein composition and physicochemical properties of the four types of legume proteins, which affected the functional properties and bioactivities. BSP and SP had six predominant proteins with a molecular weight (M) range of 20-95 kDa, whereas ABP and MBP showed the most intense bands of 48 kDa. ABP with higher essential amino acids content and the highest solubility exhibited the highest antioxidant activities among the four types of proteins. While BSP with higher content of acidic amino acids, low content of the hydrophobic amino acids and higher WHC, may have potential nutraceutical uses.

The network of antagonistic, neutral, and synergistic interactions between (micro)organisms has moved into the focus of current research, since in agriculture, this knowledge can help to develop efficient biocontrol strategies. Applying the nematophagous fungus as biocontrol agent to manage the root-knot nematode is a highly promising strategy. To gain new insight into the systemic response of plants to a plant-parasitic nematode and a nematophagous fungus, was inoculated with and/or and subjected to transcriptome and metabolome analysis of leaves.

To overcome the limitations of using large extrinsic chromophores for biological imaging, fluorescent unnatural α-amino acids have been widely adopted as intrinsic peptidic probes. Although various classes have been successfully utilised for imaging applications, novel amino acid probes readily prepared through operationally simple synthetic methodology are still required. Here, we report a new approach for the synthesis of unnatural α-amino acids a one-pot process involving activation and palladium-catalysed arylation of tyrosine.

Complementing discourse following a February 2023 event on dietary protein needs in Southeast Asia (SEA), this symposium report summarizes the region's protein intake, while simultaneously examining the impact of dietary shift toward complementary and alternative proteins and their health implications. It highlights the importance of protein quality in dietary evaluations, optimal intake, and sustainability, advocating for environmentally conscious protein production and innovation in future foods. Discussion points, expert opinions, national nutrition data, and relevant literature, addressing protein intake and quality, their impact on human health, and various technologies for future foods production, have been included.

Methylmalonic acid (MMA) is a small molecule produced during the metabolism of propionate and branched-chain amino acids. Recently, it has been reported that the blood concentration of MMA increases with age and promotes lung cancer metastasis. However, little is known regarding its effects on cancers other than lung cancer.
