In this paper, the interaction between egg white protein (EWP) and giant squid surimi was regulated by changing the ratio of surimi to EWP, and the mechanism of EWP on the gel properties of giant squid surimi was analyzed. The results showed that when the proportion of EWP was 16: 1, the hardness and springiness of surimi gel were the highest, reaching 645.5 g and 1.258, respectively. The gel strength reached 0.634 kg, the cooking yield of surimi gel increased by 27 % and the water loss decreased to less than 10 %. A significant increase in the proportion of fixed water and a decrease in the proportion of free water indicated that mixed surimi improved the "trapping" ability of water molecules, induced the formation of a more ordered "cage"-like structure, and significantly increased the water holding capacity and whiteness of surimi gels.

Local protein synthesis (LPS) in axons is now recognized as a physiological process, participating both in the maintenance of axonal function and diverse plastic phenomena. In the last decades of the 20th century, the existence and function of axonal LPS were topics of significant debate. Very early, axonal LPS was thought not to occur at all and was later accepted to play roles only during development or in response to specific conditions.

Squid beaks as a proxy for mercury concentrations in muscle of the giant warty squid Moroteuthopsis longimana.

Cephalopods play a major role in marine food webs as both predators and prey. Although most of the Hg in cephalopods is present in the muscle, most studies on its accumulation by predators are based on concentrations in beaks. Here, using upper and lower beaks and buccal masses of Moroteuthopsis longimana, we evaluated the relationship between Hg concentrations in different cephalopod tissues.

Joule heating involving ion currents through channel proteins.

Ion currents associated with channel proteins in the presence of membrane potential are ubiquitous in cellular and organelle membranes. When an ion current occurs through a channel protein, Joule heating should occur. However, this Joule heating seems to have been largely overlooked in biology.
