Article Abstract
This study examined the effects of the alkaline Maillard reaction on the structural, interfacial, and functional properties of soybean 11S globulin-debranched starch (DBS) conjugates. The results showed that the degree of DBS binding to 11S globulin was influenced by the polymer ratios, which in turn affected the structural, interfacial, and functional characteristics. The 11S-DBS conjugates with a 2:1 biopolymer ratio exhibited the highest grafting degree, largest zeta potential absolute value, smallest particle size, and greatest thermal stability. Conjugates with higher globulin content demonstrated superior interfacial and functional properties, including improved solubility, increased surface hydrophobicity, and reduced interfacial tension. 3D fluorescence scanning revealed a decrease in the signal of aromatic amino acid residues, while microstructural observation provided insights into the binding behavior of different 11S-DBS conjugates. Molecular docking simulations highlighted the key role of hydrogen bonding in the formation of these conjugates. This study enhances understanding of soybean globulin-polysaccharide interaction mechanisms, expanding their potential applications in the food, medical, and bioengineering industries.

The COVID-19 pandemic remains a global health crisis, with successive SARS-CoV-2 variants exhibiting enhanced transmissibility and immune evasion. Notably, the Omicron variant harbors extensive mutations in the spike protein's receptor-binding domain (RBD), altering viral fitness. While temperature is a critical environmental factor modulating viral stability and transmission, its molecular-level effects on variant-specific RBD-human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) interactions remain underexplored.

Sodium-ion batteries are promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to their low cost and resource abundance. However, their cathode materials suffer from poor conductivity and limited cycling stability. Here, we report a Prussian blue (PB)-based cathode hybridized with carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via a glutamic acid-assisted in situ coordination route.

Urea photosynthesis from CO and N has profound environmental and energy implications. However, the simultaneous activation of CO and N, along with the promotion of C─N bond formation, remains a major challenge. Herein, the asymmetric interfacial sites (Zn─O─Ti) were engineered by building oxygen atom bridges between ZIF-8 and MIL-125 to enable efficient photocatalytic urea synthesis.

Mechanical stimuli have been shown to dynamically alter solid-liquid interfaces and induce electron transfer, enabling catalytic reactions, most notably contact-electro-catalysis (CEC). However, the underlying mechanism of charge transfer at solid-liquid interfaces under mechanical stimulation remains unclear, particularly at semiconductor-liquid interfaces. To date, rare studies have reported on the catalytic activity of semiconductor-liquid interfaces under mechanical stimulation.

In this study, we explored the application of lactoferrin-(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (LF-EGCG) complex with rapeseed, soybean, walnut, peanut and sesame oil for the preparation of Pickering emulsions and its spray-dried microcapsules. Spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed that LF-EGCG binds via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Structural analysis demonstrated that 0.
