LC-MS/MS method was applied for determination of free amino acids in honey without derivatisation steps. Twenty free amino acids including aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, alanine, arginine, glycine, leucine, histidine, hydroxyproline, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, valine and ornithine were analyzed in thirty honey samples from Poland and Slovakia. The analysis covered: acacia, lime, rape, multifloral and forest types of honey. Applied method was characterized to had good sensitivity with limit of detection ranged from 3.0 ng/cm for valine to 13.0 ng/cm for hydroxyproline. Average content of proline (main amino acid component in honey) ranged from 151.46 μg/g (rape honey from Slovakia) to 389.66 μg/g for forest honey (honeydew honey) from Poland. In analyzed honeys large quantities of glutamine, glutamic acid, lysine, phenylalanine, asparagine, alanine, and valine were also found.

A novel post-modification strategy was developed for rapid functionalization of monoliths through amino-yne click chemistry. This approach enabled the conjugation of activated alkynes onto amino-functionalized organic-silica hybrid monolith surfaces under mild, catalyst-free conditions. Systematic investigation of critical reaction parameters was conducted to optimize the post-modification process.

Antigen-binding proteins, such as nanobodies, modified with functional small molecules hold great potential for applications including imaging probes, drug conjugates, and localized catalysts. However, traditional chemical labeling methods that randomly target lysine or cysteine residues often produce heterogeneous conjugates with limited reproducibility. Conventional site-specific conjugation approaches, which typically modify only the N- or C-terminus, may also be insufficient to achieve the desired functionalities.

The sub-Saharan African region bears the highest burden of rotavirus-associated morbidity and mortality, with substantial genetic diversity observed in circulating strains despite vaccine introduction. The G8 genotype, originally predominant in bovine strains, has increasingly become prevalent in humans, suggesting a possible interface of animal-to-human transmission and highlighting its role in African strain diversity. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis of 21 archival G8P[4] strains collected through gastroenteritis surveillance in South Africa between 2009 and 2021 from children under five years of age.

This study investigated the impact of cold water with increasing temperature (CI) and boiling water with constant temperature (BC) steaming on the metabolites and taste of Eriocheir sinensis. Sensory evaluation and electronic tongue analysis indicated that CI group enhanced ovaries umami, whereas BC group increased muscle umami (p < 0.05).
