Age- and gamma-irradiation-dependent accumulation of oxidatively modified proteins (measured as carbonyl level) was studied in cytoplasm, mitochondria and nuclei isolated from spleen and liver of 4- and 26-month-old rats. The protein carbonyl levels significantly increased with age in all fractions studied. The carbonyl content was found to be two times higher in the nuclei than in the mitochondria and cytoplasm, which may be related to an extensive modification of lysine and arginine residues in histone molecules. Gamma-Irradiation of rats with 10 Gy caused a rise of protein carbonyls only in their cytoplasm and mitochondria, which was prevented in the animals fed with antioxidants and vitamins for a month before the irradiation. We observed an activation of histone-specific proteases in the nuclei of gamma-irradiated rats. The lack of carbonyl accumulation in the nuclear proteins isolated from tissues of gamma-irradiated animals may be explained by the degradation of oxidized histones by these proteases.

Quinoline is a highly privileged scaffold with significant pharmacological potential. Introducing a carbonyl group into the quinoline ring generates a quinolone ring, which exhibits promising biological properties. Incorporating a carboxamide linkage at different positions within the quinoline and quinolone frameworks has proven an effective strategy for enhancing pharmacological properties, particularly anticancer potency.

In vitro maturation (IVM) is a form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) applied to obtain mature oocytes in culture. Decline in IVM success rates by age has led consideration of novel approaches based on cellular dynamics. Our aim was to achieve proteostasis in old bovine oocytes from 13 to 16-year-old bovine with a lower potential for fertilization.

Edible films are significant in prolonging the shelf life of meat products. Herein, we prepared some edible coatings (EW/TNPCSs) based on egg white/chitosan/pectin as polymer matrix, containing tannic acid-nisin composite nano-crosslinker with antibacterial-antioxidant activities. The results of preservation indicated that the prepared EW/TNPCSs reduced the water loss of chilled pork and delayed the changes of taste, texture and surface color.

Due to its commercial availability and well-defined structure, the interaction between bovine protein β-lactoglobulin (βLG) and a wide variety of non-native ligands - including transition metal complexes - has been explored, but its application as an artificial metalloenzyme scaffold is limited. This protein is hypothesized to transport fatty acids and other nutrients during juvenile development, and it binds hydrophobic ligands inside a binding pocket constructed upon an 8-stranded β-barrel, called the 'calyx'. Herein, we compare the binding behavior of two rhenium(anthracene-bispyridine) ('Anth-py') tricarbonyl complexes, one with a 12‑carbon chain appended to the ligand scaffold ('Anth-py') to βLG.
