The effect of linoleic acid (LA) on the IgG/IgE recognition, in vitro digestibility and immunodetection of shrimp tropomyosin (TM) was investigated. Subsequently, the simultaneous binding of LA-TM was explored using multi-spectroscopic and molecular modeling techniques. Our findings reveled that the addition of LA significantly reduced TM's IgG/IgE immunoreactivity, digestibility, and immunodetection. Further analysis using multi-spectroscopic and molecular modeling techniques indicated that while TM's secondary structure remained largely unchanged, its 3-D structure showed significant alterations such as increased particle size and hydrophobic surface area, and a higher number of buried hydrophobic residues exposed due to the binding of LA to TM. These structural changes rendered it difficult for target antibodies and digestive enzymes to interact with related epitopes and cleavage sites buried inside the molecule. The results obtained in this study provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanism of poor immunodetection caused by food matrix interference.

The copper complexing of dissolved organic matter released from hydrochar (HDOM) affects the former's environmental behavior. In this study, how hydrothermal temperatures (180, 220 and 260 °C) influence the molecular-level constitutions and Cu(II) binding features of HDOM were elucidated via fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and multi-spectroscopic analysis. The findings demonstrated that the almost HDOM molecules had the traits of lower polarity and higher hydrophobicity.

The subject of this study is the interaction between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrin (TSPP), a potential photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy, and human serum albumin (HSA), a crucial protein in the body. The main objective was to investigate the binding mechanisms, structural changes, and potential implications of these interactions for drug delivery and therapeutic applications. Spectroscopic techniques and computational methods were employed to investigate the mechanism and effects of TSPP binding by HSA.

Latest observations indicated that exposure of organic environmental neurotoxins may increase the potential risk of Alzheimer's diseases (AD). As a suspected food-derived risk factor, permethrin, composed of cis-isomer and trans-isomer, is widely used as a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide in agricultural crops for the arthropod pests controlling. Thus, evaluating the impact of permethrin exposure is of great importance to human health.
