This research was conducted to determine how the altitude difference affects the fruit quality in sweet cherries by using different cultivars (Kordia, Regina, Sweetheart, and 0900 Ziraat) grown at two different altitudes (200 m, 800 m) in Eskişehir (Türkiye) for two consecutive years. Malic acid and chlorogenic acid, which stood out as the major organic acid and phenolic, respectively were found to be at 9039.17 mg·L and 64.88 mg·L, respectively, at low altitude, positively affected and increased to 9309.58 mg·L and 66.99 mg·L with altitude increase. Kordia came to the fore with its high and stable performance at both altitudes. Low pH in the fruit is critical for promoting phytochemical accumulation and antioxidant activity. Molecular docking simulations revealed how malic acid and chlorogenic acid would bind with furin, pointing to possible antioxidant effects. Farmers and researchers are expected to benefit from the obtained results during cultivar selection and scientific research.

Discoidin domain receptors (DDR) are categorized under tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) and play a crucial role in various etiological conditions such as cancer, fibrosis, atherosclerosis, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory diseases. The structural domain rearrangement of DDR1 and DDR2 involved six domains of interest namely N-terminal DS, DS-like, intracellular juxtamembrane, transmembrane juxtamembrane, extracellular juxtamembrane intracellular kinase domain, and the tail portion contains small C-tail linkage. DDR has not been explored to a wide extent to be declared as a prime target for any particular pathological condition.

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.

Background: Due to the divers biological applications of Cu(II) complexes, we in this study reports the various Cu(II) complexes. The study aims to synthesize and assess new Cu(II) complexes as powerful β-glucuronidase inhibitors.

Methods: Five Schiff base ligands and their complexes were synthesized, characterized, and screened against β-glucuronidase inhibitory activity.

The suppression of tyrosinase (TYR), a key enzyme in melanogenesis, has been suggested as an effective strategy for preventing melanin accumulation. We previously discovered the novel chrysin derivative hydroxyethyl chrysin (HE-chrysin) through an irradiation technique, which exerted higher anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities than original chrysin. In the present study, we explored whether HE-chrysin has antioxidant and anti-melanogenic capacity using B16F10 murine melanoma cells and molecular docking.
