Two millimeter range ESR-spectroscopy was used to measure the values of magnetic resonance parameters of egg lysozyme samples modified with nitroxyl label 4-(iodine-acetamide)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl by hist-15 residue. It has been shown that in a lyophilic sample the spin label forms a hydrogen bond with the protein group and when the sample is moistened--with water molecules. Temperature changes of the pattern of ESR line are analysed. It is concluded that in the moistened samples within 230-320 K the nitroxyl fragment of the label gets engaged in anisotropic movement with preferable rotation around Z-axis of N-O. fragment with anisotropy coefficient 5 and mean correlation time tau congruent to 5 X 10(-7) divided by 5 X 10(-8) c.

Amyloid fibril formation of α-synuclein (αSN) is a hallmark of synucleinopathies. Although the previous studies have provided numerous insights into the molecular basis of αSN amyloid formation, it remains unclear how αSN self-assembles into amyloid fibrils in vivo. Here, we show that αSN amyloid formation is accelerated in the presence of two macromolecular crowders, polyethylene glycol (PEG) (MW: ~10,000) and dextran (DEX) (MW: ~500,000), with a maximum at approximately 7% (w/v) PEG and 7% (w/v) DEX.

Steamed egg (SE), a traditional egg dish, exhibits steaming time-dependent textural properties. This study investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying SE gel formation and deterioration through quantitative proteomics combined with physicochemical characterization. Results showed optimal gel formation at 11 min steaming, while prolonged steaming (23 min) led to gel cracking and sensory deterioration.
