Tropomyosin (TM) is a major allergen in aquatic products. The aim of this study was to analyze the allergenicity of TM from different aquatic products based on conformational and linear epitopes. Structural and allergenicity analyses of TM were conducted using intrinsic fluorescence, UV absorption spectra, circular dichroism, and animal experiments. Epitope mapping was performed through bioinformatics software and a one-bead, one-compound (OBOC) peptide library screening approach. The results showed that the structures of TMs from different aquatic products are similar. Cross-reactivity was observed among TMs from different aquatic products, with fish-TM showing lower cross-reactivity compared with other TMs. Additionally, 13, 14, 11, 13, and 12 linear epitopes, along with 2, 2, 1, 2, and 3 conformational epitopes, were identified for shrimp-TM, crab-TM, fish-TM, oyster-TM, and clam-TM, respectively. Overall, these findings provide a basis for elucidating the epitope localization and allergenicity relationship of TMs from different aquatic products.

Unlabelled: Alongside global climate change, many freshwater ecosystems are experiencing substantial shifts in the concentrations and compositions of salt ions coming from both land and sea. We synthesize a risk framework for anticipating how climate change and increasing salt pollution coming from both land and saltwater intrusion will trigger chain reactions extending from headwaters to tidal waters. Salt ions trigger 'chain reactions,' where chemical products from one biogeochemical reaction influence subsequent reactions and ecosystem responses.

The Arctic is warming faster than the global average, making it critical to understand how this affects ecological structure and function in streams, which are key Arctic ecosystems. Microbial biofilms are crucial for primary production and decomposition in Arctic streams and support higher trophic levels. However, comprehensive studies across Arctic regions, and in particular within Greenland, are scarce.

Shrimp are highly favored by consumers for their delicious taste and rich nutritional value. However, reports of allergic reactions caused by shrimp and its derivatives have been increasing, significantly impacting consumer health and posing a growing global food safety concern. This article introduces the structure and biochemical characteristics of major allergenic proteins in shrimp, including tropomyosin (TM), arginine kinase, sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein, myosin light chain, troponin C, and hemocyanin.

Ciprofloxacin is metabolized from enrofloxacin for use in poultry to manage respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, raising concerns due to its widespread tissue distribution and prolonged systemic persistence. This lateral flow immunoassay was designed to detect ciprofloxacin using an alternative IgY antibody binded with gold nanoparticles to detect ciprofloxacin residue in raw pork meat samples. The developed strip test achieved adequate sensitivity and specificity under the optimized conditions for pH, which is 7.
