Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) plays a critical role in decrement of shrimp quality. To obtain active PPO and elucidate its enzymatic properties, PPO from Litopenaeus vannamei (Lv-PPO) was cloned, expressed in E. coli and purified by affinity column chromatography. The Lv-PPO gene was 2076 bp in length encoding 691 amino acids. The recombinant Lv-PPO (rLv-PPO) with a molecular mass of ∼85.0 kDa was successfully expressed and its sequence was verified by LC-MS/MS. rLv-PPO was biologically active with an optimal temperature of 40℃ and an optimal pH of 6.0. Metal ions Cu and Zn altered the activity of rLv-PPO by influencing its secondary and tertiary structures. rLv-PPO showed catalytic activity towards l-Dopa and catechol. A specific polyclonal antibody against rLv-PPO was prepared. Western blot analysis revealed that PPO levels were highest in hemolymph, followed by telson, carapace, and eyestalk. Expression of rLv-PPO will assist future studies on the mechanism in shrimp melanosis.

Skin aging is one of the degenerative processes influenced by tyrosinase, elastase, collagenase, hyaluronidase, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) activity. One promising avenue for discovering antiaging therapeutics is the peptides from the spine. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of peptides from spine as a multitarget inhibitor for recombinant antiaging therapies through in silico approaches.

Accurate, specific, and cost-effective detection of toxic cyanogenic glycosides is crucial for ensuring biological health and food safety. In this study, a novel biosensor based on co-immobilized multi-enzyme system was constructed by artificial antibody-antigen-directed immobilization for the colorimetric detection of amygdalin through a cascade reaction catalyzed by β-glucosidase, glucose oxidase, and horseradish peroxidase. Artificial antibodies and antigens were prepared using catechol and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, respectively, to generate mutual affinity recognition ability for enzyme immobilization.

In the present study, 5-Hydroxy-2-(Oleoyloxymethyl) -4H-pyran-4-one (KMO 3), and their chelated with Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions were synthesized to explore their inhibitory activity against tyrosinase and cytotoxicity. To this end, the structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by ATR/FT-IR, 13C and 1H-NMR, and UV-vis techniques. The results show that chelating fatty ester presents the bands at 1567m, 1511w cm-1 attributed to the coordinated carbonyl (Cu(II)←[O=C]2), and the bands at 1540m, 1519m cm-1 which were attributed to the coordinated carbonyl (Fe(III)←[O=C]3).

The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in the level of oxidative stress and lysozyme-like and phenoloxidase (PO) activity under the influence of nosemosis. Honeybees were kept in natural (apiary) and artificial (laboratory) conditions. In this study, it was shown for the first time that honeybees kept in apiaries have higher levels and activity of the studied parameters than honeybees kept in the laboratory.
