Assessment of the Physicochemical, Textural, Sensory, and Antioxidant Properties of Sorbet Enriched with Alfalfa Protein Concentrate

Foods
This study investigated alfalfa protein concentrate (APC) as a functional ingredient for developing protein-enriched apple sorbet. APC obtained by ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction was characterized for its physicochemical, nutritional ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Sources of dietary protein and risk of hypertension in a general Dutch population [PDF]

, 2012
Evidence suggests a small beneficial effect of dietary protein on blood pressure (BP), especially for plant protein. We examined the relationship between several types of dietary protein (total, plant, animal, dairy, meat and grain) and the risk of ...

Differences in Protein Quantity and Quality Across a Spectrum of Plant-Based Meals: Analysis of a Large National Dietary Survey

Current Developments in Nutrition
Background: Current recommendations encourage consuming sufficient intake of high-quality protein, with ≥60% derived from plant-based sources, to support both nutritional requirements and sustainability goals.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Solid State Fermentation—A Promising Approach to Produce Meat Analogues

Foods
The increasing demand for sustainable dietary options has intensified the development of plant-based meat analogues. Despite growing market availability, these products often fail to replicate conventional meat’s sensory and nutritional properties. Solid-

Plant-based protein for older adults with obesity

Proceedings of the Nutrition Society
Abstract The global syndemic of obesity, undernutrition and climate change – three interconnected challenges – threatens both human and planetary health. This review focuses on one critical intersection: older populations living with overweight and obesity in the context of sustainable nutrition.

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...
