A proximity-enabled protein cross-linking strategy with additional spatiotemporal control is highly desirable. Here, we report an oxidation-induced protein cross-linking strategy involving the incorporation of a vinyl thioether group into proteins in both and mammalian cells via genetic code expansion. We demonstrated that vinyl thioether can be selectively induced by exogenously added oxidant or by reactive oxygen species from the cellular environment, as well as by photocatalysts, and converted into a Michael acceptor, enabling fluorescence labeling and protein cross-linking.

The manufacturing of soy-based adhesives with high bonding strength, excellent water resistance, and exceptional environmental performance still faces difficulties. In this work, using glyoxal-urea (GU) resin, chitosan (CS), and soy protein isolate (SPI) as the primary raw materials in order to effectively mitigate the release of free formaldehyde commonly found in traditional wood-based panels. Obtaining an adhesive with high strength, excellent water resistance, and a stable cross-linking structure of GU/CS/SPI (CS represents different mass fractions of chitosan solution).

Amyloid fibrils (AFs) are highly ordered nanostructures formed through the self-assembly of proteins under specific conditions. Due to their unique properties, AFs have garnered significant attention as biomaterials over the past decade. Nevertheless, the increasing reliance on animal proteins for AFs production raises sustainability concerns, highlighting the need for a transition to plant-based proteins as more environmentally friendly feedstocks.

Diabetes is associated with excessive inflammation, which negatively impacts the fracture healing process and delays bone repair. Previously, growing evidence indicated that activation of the nod-like receptor (NLR) family, such as nod-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome induces a vicious cycle of chronic low-grade inflammatory responses in diabetic fracture. Here, we describe the synthesis of a bone adhesive hydrogel that can be locally injected into the fracture site and releases a natural inhibitor of NLRP3 (rutin) in response to pathological cue reactive oxygen species activity (ROS).

Excessive oxidation of protein and lipids in pork leads to quality degradation and loss of nutrients. Kappa-selenocarrageenan (Se-K) can not only be used as a selenium enhancer but also as an antioxidant. To explore potential antioxidants that could be applied to pork, the effect of Se-K on myofibrillar protein (MP) and lipid oxidation was investigated.
