This study investigated the effects of ethanol, 1,2-propanediol, and glycerol on the structure and aggregation behavior of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) myosin. All alcohols induced extensive alteration in the tertiary structure of myosin. Both ethanol and 1,2-propanediol further promoted an increase in the content of β-sheets in myosin and induced myosin aggregation. While glycerol had almost no impact on the secondary structure of myosin. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that increasing the concentration of ethanol and 1,2-propanediol affected the overall structural changes in the myosin heavy chain (MHC), while glycerol exerted a more pronounced effect on the MHC tail when compared to the MHC head. Disruption of the hydration layers induced by ethanol and 1,2-propanediol contributed to local structural changes in myosin. Glycerol at a concentration of 20% induced the formation of a larger hydration layer around the MHC tail, which facilitated the stabilization of the protein structure.

The non-native wood-boring and symbiotic fungus-culturing Xylosandrus germanus (Blandford) was first reported in New York apple orchards in 2013. Trapping surveys have been conducted annually since to assist growers in timely applications of preventative control measures. In 2021, a similar-looking introduced species, Anisandrus maiche (Kurentsov), was identified in traps in west central New York.
