Nutrition management of vines is a key factor that regulates production and determines grape quality. Currently, one of the main objectives of fertilization is to apply eco-friendly and balanced nutrition. In this case, fertigation is the most efficient strategy. The objective of this work was to assess the effect of innovative fertilizers on Syrah grapevines. The tested products contained an elicitor, macro- and microelements and amino acids from animal and vegetal origins. Fertilizers were applied by fertigation under field conditions in 2016, 2017 and 2018. The influence of the treatments on the grapevine gas exchange, element assimilation and oenological composition of must was evaluated. Additionally, the amino acid contents and volatile composition were determined. The results suggest that application of fertigation does not directly influence the water status of Syrah vines under the conditions of the study but can improve the gas exchange balance and N assimilation. Moreover, the leaf assimilation of Zn, Ca and, to a lesser extent, B were improved at the bloom stage, and the assimilation of Mn was improved at veraison. Small changes were observed in the basic parameters of musts, and an increase in yeast assimilable nitrogen was detected in treated vines. The aromatic profile of grape musts was enhanced in treated vines, and the elicitors enriched in vegetal amino acids could be a sustainable alternative for improving certain vegetative and grape quality parameters of Syrah.

The identification of neoantigens is crucial for advancing vaccines, diagnostics, and immunotherapies. Despite this importance, a fundamental question remains: how to model the presentation of neoantigens by major histocompatibility complex class I molecules and the recognition of the peptide-MHC-I (pMHC-I) complex by T cell receptors (TCRs). Accurate prediction of pMHC-I binding and TCR recognition remains a significant computational challenge in immunology due to intricate binding motifs and the long-tail distribution of known binding pairs in public databases.

Proteins are indispensable for maintaining a healthy diet and performing crucial functions in a multitude of physiological processes. The growth of the global population and the emergence of environmental concerns have significantly increased the demand for protein-rich foods such as meat and dairy products, exerting considerable pressure on global food supplies. Single-cell proteins (SCP) have emerged as a promising alternative source, characterized by their high protein content and essential amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, inorganic salts, vitamins, and trace elements.

Enzymes are the cornerstone of biocatalysis, biosynthesis and synthetic biology. However, their applicability is often limited by low substrate selectivity. A prime example is the bifunctional linalool/nerolidol synthase (LNS) that can use both geranyl diphosphate (GPP) and farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to produce linalool and nerolidol, respectively.

Compound-specific stable carbon isotope analysis of amino acids (CSIA-AA) is widely used in ecological studies to analyze food-webs and is gaining use in archaeology for investigating past diets. However, its use in reconstructing breastfeeding and weaning practices is not fully understood. This study evaluates the efficacy of stable carbon isotope analysis of amino acids in early life diet reconstruction by analyzing keratin from fingernail samples of three mother-infant pairs during late gestation and early postpartum periods.
