JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:7085-7095. [PMID: 38546416 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
Meat and meat products are highly susceptible to contamination by microorganisms and foodborne pathogens, which cause serious economic losses and health hazards. The large consumption and waste of meat and meat products means that there is a need for safe and effective preservation methods. Furthermore, toxicological aspects of chemical preservation techniques related to major health problems have sparked controversies and have prompted consumers and producers to turn to natural preservatives. Consequently, natural preservatives are being increasingly used to ensure the safety and quality of meat products as a result of customer preferences and biological efficacy. However, information on the current status of these preservatives is scattered and a comprehensive review is lacking. Here, we review current knowledge on the classification, mechanisms of natural preservatives and their applications in the preservation of meat and meat products, and also discuss the potential of natural preservatives to improve the safety of meat and meat products. The current status and the current research gaps in the extraction, application and controlled-release of natural antibacterial agents for meat preservation are also discussed in detail. This review may be useful to the development of efficient food preservation techniques in the meat industry. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The most common carrier for encapsulation of bioactive components is still simple emulsion. Recently, bio-based novel emulsion systems such as multiple emulsions (MEs) and Pickering emulsions (PEs) have been introduced as innovative colloidal delivery systems for encapsulation and controlled release of bioactive compounds. Multiple PEs (MPEs), which carries both benefit of MEs and PEs could be fabricated by relatively scalable and simple operations. In comparison with costly synthetic surfactants and inorganic particles which are widely used for stabilization of both MEs and PEs, MPEs stabilized by food-grade particles, while having health-promoting aspects, are able to host the "clean label" and "green label" attributes. Nevertheless, in achieving qualified techno-functional attributes and encapsulation properties, the selection of suitable materials is a crucial step in the construction of such complex systems. Current review takes a cue from both MEs and PEs emulsification techniques to grant a robust background for designing various MPEs. Herein, various fabrication methods of MEs and PEs are described comprehensively in a physical viewpoint in order to find key conception of successful formulation of MPEs. This review also highlights the link between the underlying aspects and exemplified specimens of evidence which grant insights into the rational design of MPEs through food-based ingredients to introduces MPEs as novel colloidal/functional materials. Their utilization for encapsulation of bioactive compounds is discussed as well. In the last part, instability behavior of MPEs under various conditions will be discussed. In sum, this review aims to gain researchers who work with food-based components, basics of innovative design of MPEs.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132271. [PMID: 38734330 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
As an anti-infection antibiotic delivery route, a drug-controlled release system based on a specific condition stimulus response can enhance drug stability and bioavailability, reduce antibiotic resistance, achieve on-demand release and improve targeting and utilization efficiency. In this study, chitosan-coated liposomes containing levofloxacin (Lef@Lip@CS) were prepared with lysozyme in body fluids serving as an intelligent "switch" to enable accurate delivery of antibiotics through the catalytic degradation ability of chitosan. Good liposome encapsulation efficacy (64.89 ± 1.86 %) and loading capacity (5.28 ± 0.18 %) were achieved. The controlled-release behavior and morphological characterization before and after enzymatic hydrolysis confirmed that the levofloxacin release rate depended on the lysozyme concentration and the degrees of deacetylation of chitosan. In vitro bacteriostatic experiments showed significant differences in the effects of Lef@Lip@CS before and after enzyme addition, with 6-h inhibition rate of 72.46 % and 100 %, and biofilm removal rates of 51 % and 71 %, respectively. These findings show that chitosan-coated liposomes are a feasible drug delivery system responsive to lysozyme stimulation.

Hydrophilic molecularly imprinted lysozyme-BiOBr composite with enhanced visible light utilization for selective removal of trace contaminants in water. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 272:132910. [PMID: 38844276 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
The development of high-efficiency molecularly imprinted photocatalysts is still challenging due to the lack of hydrophilic and suitable functional monomers. In this work, the bio-sourced lysozyme was developed as the hydrophilic functional monomer, and Cu-doped BiOBr was used as the photocatalysts, to prepare a novel hydrophilic molecularly imprinted lysozyme-BiOBr composite (BiOBr-Cu/LyzMIP) with enhanced visible light utilization. Lysozyme could form a transparent layer to mitigate the light transmission obstruction caused by the surface imprinting layer, making it an ideal functional monomer. The prepared BiOBr-Cu/LyzMIP possessed red-shifted visible-light absorption edge and minor reduction of light absorbance, indicating the enhanced utilization of visible light. Accordingly, BiOBr-Cu/LyzMIP demonstrated excellent degradation rate (99.4 % in 20 min), exceptional degradation efficiency (0.211 min-1), and superior reusability. Moreover, BiOBr-Cu/LyzMIP exhibited rapid adsorption equilibrium (20 min), good imprinting factor (2.67), and favourable degradation selectivity (>1.75), indicating the good imprinting effect resulting from abundant functional groups of lysozyme. Versatility experiments on different templates suggested that the proposed approach allowed flexibility in selecting a wide range of hazardous contaminants according to practical requirements. The present work expands the application of lysozyme-based composites in the environmental field, and provides a new one-stop pathway for efficient and sustainable treatment of contaminated water.

Abstract
Renal diseases have become an increasingly concerned public health problem in the world. Kidney-targeted drug delivery has profound transformative potential on increasing renal efficacy and reducing extra-renal toxicity. Protein and peptide-based kidney targeted drug delivery systems have garnered more and more attention due to its controllable synthesis, high biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. At the same time, the targeting methods based on protein/peptide are also abundant, including passive renal targeting based on macromolecular protein and active targeting mediated by renal targeting peptide. Here, we review the application and the drug loading strategy of different proteins or peptides in targeted drug delivery, including the ferritin family, albumin, low molecular weight protein (LMWP), different peptide sequence and antibodies. In addition, we summarized the factors influencing passive and active targeting in drug delivery system, the main receptors related to active targeting in different kidney diseases, and a variety of nano forms of proteins based on the controllable synthesis of proteins.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128823. [PMID: 38114015 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Oxidative stress is one of the limiting factors that inhibit wound healing. Phytochemicals especially chicoric acid have the potential to act as an antioxidant and scavenge reactive oxygen species, thereby promoting wound healing. However, most of the phytochemicals were easy to be degraded during storage or using due to the oxidative status in wound site. Herein, we introduce a high stable protein Z that can encapsulate chicoric acid during foaming. TEM results showed that the size of protein Z-chicoric acid is in the range of nanoscale (named PZ-CA nanocomposite), and protein Z encapsulation can significantly improve the stability of chicoric acid under oxidative stress. Moreover, PZ-CA nanocomposite exhibited favorable antioxidant properties, biocompatibility, and the ability to promote cell migration in vitro. The role of PZ-CA nanocomposite in skin regeneration was explored by a mice model. Results in vivo suggest that the PZ-CA nanocomposite promotes wound healing with a faster rate as compared with a commercial spray solution, mostly through attenuating the oxidative stress, promoting cell proliferation and collagen deposition. This work not only provides a delivery vector for bioactive molecules, but also develops a kind of nanocomposite with the property of promoting wound healing.

Abstract
Infectious and inflammatory diseases are one of the leading causes of death globally. The status quo has become more prominent with the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. To combat these potential crises, proteins have been proven as highly efficacious drugs, drug targets, and biomarkers. On the other hand, advancements in nanotechnology have aided efficient and sustained drug delivery due to their nano-dimension-acquired advantages. Combining both strategies together, the protein nanoplatforms are equipped with the advantageous intrinsic properties of proteins as well as nanoformulations, eloquently changing the field of nanomedicine. Proteins can act as carriers, therapeutics, diagnostics, and theranostics in their nanoform as fusion proteins or as composites with other organic/inorganic materials. Protein-based nanoplatforms have been extensively explored to target the major infectious and inflammatory diseases of clinical concern. The current review comprehensively deliberated proteins as nanocarriers for drugs and nanotherapeutics for inflammatory and infectious agents, with special emphasis on cancer and viral diseases. A plethora of proteins from diverse organisms have aided in the synthesis of protein-based nanoformulations. The current study specifically presented the proteins of human and pathogenic origin to dwell upon the field of protein nanotechnology, emphasizing their pharmacological advantages. Further, the successful clinical translation and current bottlenecks of the protein-based nanoformulations associated with the infection-inflammation paradigm have also been discussed comprehensively. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This review discusses the plethora of promising protein-based nanocarriers and nanotherapeutics explored for infectious and inflammatory ailments, with particular emphasis on protein nanoparticles of human and pathogenic origin with reference to the advantages, ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion parameters), and current bottlenecks in development of protein-based nanotherapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Infection poses a significant barrier to effective wound repair, leading to increased inflammatory responses that ultimately result in incomplete and prolonged wound healing. To address this challenge, numerous antibacterial ingredients have been incorporated into dressings to inhibit wound infection. Our previous work demonstrated that lysozyme/silver nanoparticles (LYZ/AgNPs) complexes, prepared using an eco-friendly one-step aqueous method, exhibited excellent antibacterial efficacy with favorable biosafety. To further explore its potential application in advancing wound healing, calcium alginate (CA) with good porosity, water absorption, and water retention capacities was formulated with LYZ/AgNPs to prepare composite sponge (CA/LYZ/AgNPs). As expected, in vivo experiments involving full-thickness skin wound and scald wound healing experiments demonstrated that CA-LYZ-AgNPs composite sponges with excellent biocompatibility exhibited remarkable antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and fungi, and outperformed the wound healing process efficacy of other commercially available AgNPs-loaded wound dressings. In summary, this work introduces a CA/LYZ/AgNPs sponge featuring exceptional antibacterial efficacy and biocompatibility, thus holding promising potential in wound care applications.

Abstract
The cooperative relationship between biomolecules and nanomaterials makes up a beautiful tale about nanoscale chiral sensing and separation. Biomolecules are considered a fabulous chirality 'donor' to develop chiral sensors and separation systems. Nature has endowed biomolecules with mysterious chirality. Various nanomaterials with specific physicochemical attributes can realize the transmission and amplification of this chirality. We focus on highlighting the advantages of combining biomolecules and nanomaterials in nanoscale chirality. To enhance the sensors' detection sensitivity, novel cooperation approaches between nanomaterials and biomolecules have attracted tremendous attention. Moreover, innovative biomolecule-based nanocomposites possess great importance in developing chiral separation systems with improved assay performance. This review describes the formation of a network based on nanomaterials and biomolecules mainly including DNA, proteins, peptides, amino acids, and polysaccharides. We hope this tale will record the perpetual relation between biomolecules and nanomaterials in nanoscale chirality.

Abstract
Proteins and peptides are potential therapeutic agents, but their physiochemical properties make their use as drug substances challenging. Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymeric networks that can swell and retain high amounts of water or biological fluids without being dissolved. Due to their biocompatibility, their porous structure, which enables the transport of various peptides and proteins, and their protective effect against degradation, hydrogels have gained prominence as ideal carriers for these molecules' delivery. Particularly, stimuli-responsive hydrogels exhibit physicochemical transitions in response to subtle modifications in the surrounding environment, leading to the controlled release of entrapped proteins or peptides. This review is focused on the application of these hydrogels in protein and peptide delivery, including a brief overview of therapeutic proteins and types of stimuli-responsive polymers.

Bergamo A, Sava G. Pharmacological Modulation of Host Immunity with Hen Egg White Lysozyme (HEWL)-A Review. Molecules 2023; 28:5027. [PMID: 37446691 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28135027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023] Open
Abstract
In the 100 years since its discovery, lysozyme has become an important molecule, both as model for studies in different fields and as a candidate for the therapy of various pathological conditions. Of the dozens of known lysozymes, in this review we focus on one in particular, lysozyme extracted from hen egg white (HEWL), and its interaction with the immune system when it is administered orally. Experimental data show that there is an axis that directs immune system activation from GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue) and the intestinal lymphocyte clusters. Although a contribution of peptidoglycans from digestion of the bacterial cell wall in the intestinal lumen cannot be excluded, immune stimulation is not dependent on the enzymatic activity of HEWL. The immune responses suggest that HEWL is able to recover from immunodepression caused by tumor growth or immunosuppressants, and that it also improves the success of chemotherapy. The positive results obtained in a small Phase 2 study in patients, the ease of oral administration of this protein, and the absence of adverse effects suggest that HEWL may play an important role in all diseases where the immune system is weakened or where its enhancement plays a critical role in the resolution of the pathology.

Abstract
In the realm of enzymes, the Enzyme Immobilization technique can be extremely beneficial. More research into computational approaches could lead to a better understanding as well as lead us in the direction of a more environmentally friendly and greener path. In this study, molecular modelling techniques were used to collect information regarding the immobilization of Lysozyme (EC 3.2.1.17) on Dialdehyde Cellulose (CDA). Lysine, being the most nucleophilic, is most likely to interact with dialdehyde cellulose. Enzyme substrate interactions have been studied with and without the refinement of modified lysozyme molecules. A total of six CDA-modified lysine residues were selected for the study. The docking process for all modified lysozymes was carried out using four distinct docking programs: Autodock Vina, GOLD, Swissdock, and iGemdock. The binding affinity (-7.8 & -8.0 kcal mol-1 in case of non-refinement and -4.7 & -5.0 kcal mol-1 in case of refinement), calculated from Autodock vina, as well as the interaction similarity of Lys116 immobilized lysozyme with its substrate, were found to be 75 % (W/o simulation) & 66.7 % (With simulation) identical with the reference case (unmodified lysozyme) if Lys116 is bound to Dialdehyde Cellulose. The approach described here is utilized to identify amino acid residues that are used in the immobilization of lysozyme.

Abstract
The preparation of functional long-wavelength-emitting nanomaterials and the researches on their applications in antibacterial and antibiofilm fields have important significance. This paper reports the preparation of yellow-green-fluorescent and high- quantum yield carbon dots (4-ACDs) with 4-aminosalicylic acid and polyethylene imine as raw materials through one-step route, and the impacts of raw material structure and the reaction conditions upon the optical properties of the products have been investigated. 4-ACDs exhibit excellent broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and their good biocompatibility ensures them as ideal fluorescent nano-probe for cell imaging. However, 4-ACDs could not effectively eliminate the biofilm of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). CDs-LZM complex was prepared through the coupling between 4-ACDs and lysozyme (LZM) and the complex showed strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly with MIC against S. aureus at 5 μg mL-1. Besides, CDs-LZM showed excellent ability against the biofilm of S. aureus. At the concentration of 60 μg mL-1, its inhibition rate against the growth of biofilm was 86 %, and elimination rate against biofilm reached 76 %. CDs-LZM exhibited obvious antibiofilm ability through removing extracellular matrix of biofilm, greatly reducing the thickness of biofilm under confocal microscopy. The application of novel long-wavelength-emitting nanomaterial in eliminating pathogenic bacteria is of great significance.

Abstract
Drug resistance has become a global problem, prompting the entire scientific world to seek alternative methods of dealing with resistant pathogens. Among the many alternatives to antibiotics, two appear to be the most promising: membrane permeabilizers and enzymes that destroy bacterial cell walls. Therefore, in this study, we provide insight into the mechanism of lysozyme transport strategies using two types of carbosilane dendronized silver nanoparticles (DendAgNPs), non-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified (DendAgNPs) and PEGylated (PEG-DendAgNPs), for outer membrane permeabilization and peptidoglycan degradation. Remarkably, studies have shown that DendAgNPs can build up on the surface of a bacterial cell, destroying the outer membrane, and thereby allowing lysozymes to penetrate inside the bacteria and destroy the cell wall. PEG-DendAgNPs, on the other hand, have a completely different mechanism of action. PEG chains containing a complex lysozyme resulted in bacterial aggregation and an increase in the local enzyme concentration near the bacterial membrane, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth. This is due to the accumulation of the enzyme in one place on the surface of the bacteria and penetration into it through slight damage of the membrane due to interactions of NPs with the membrane. The results of this study will help propel more effective antimicrobial protein nanocarriers.

Abstract
Polysaccharides and proteins are extensively used for the design of advanced sustainable materials. Owing to the high aspect ratio and specific surface area, ease of modification, high mechanical strength and thermal stability, renewability, and biodegradability, biopolymeric nanofibrils are gaining growing popularity amongst the catalog of nanostructures exploited in a panoply of fields. These include the nanocomposites, paper and packaging, environmental remediation, electronics, energy, and biomedical applications. In this review, recent trends on the use of cellulose and protein nanofibrils as versatile substrates for the design of high-performance nanomaterials are assessed. A concise description of the preparation methodologies and characteristics of cellulosic nanofibrils, namely nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), and protein nanofibrils is presented. Furthermore, the use of these nanofibrils in the production of sustainable materials, such as membranes, films, and patches, amongst others, as well as their major domains of application, are briefly described, with focus on the works carried out at the BioPol4Fun Research Group (Innovation in BioPolymer based Functional Materials and Bioactive Compounds) from the Portuguese associate laboratory CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials (University of Aveiro). The potential for partnership between both types of nanofibrils in advanced material development is also reviewed. Finally, the critical challenges and opportunities for these biobased nanostructures for the development of functional materials are addressed.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infection, especially its drug-resistant bacterial infection, is a great challenge often faced by clinicians and patients, and it is also one of the most important threats to public health. Finding a safe and effective antibacterial agent is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of S. aureus infection. Lysozyme is known to have antibacterial effects against Gram-positive bacteria including S. aureus. Here, high-quality lysozyme with a purity of more than 99% and an activity of more than 60, 000 U/mg was prepared from egg white, which showed excellent antibacterial activity against three strains of S. aureus, especially against MRSA. Furthermore, an antibacterial cream loaded with lysozyme was prepared and tested in scald wound healing. The lysozyme-loaded cream exhibited the effect of preventing wound infection and promoting wound healing on scalds, and no toxicity was found in animal organs. Overall, lysozyme showed great application potential in the prevention and treatment of infections caused by S. aureus and scalded wound healing. The most remarkable discovery in this work is the unexpectedly powerful inhibitory effect of lysozyme on the drug-resistant bacterial, especially MRSA, which is usually very difficult to deal with using normal antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Some bioactive substances in food have problems such as poor solubility, unstable chemical properties and low bioavailability, which limits their application in functional food. Recently, many egg white protein-based delivery carriers have been developed to improve the chemical stability, biological activity and bioavailability of bioactive substances. This article reviewed the structure and properties of several major egg white proteins commonly used to construct bioactive substance delivery systems. Several common carrier types based on egg white proteins, including hydrogels, emulsions, micro/nanoparticles, aerogels and electrospinning were then introduced. The biological functions of common bioactive substances, the limitations, and the role of egg white protein-based delivery systems were also discussed. At present, whole egg white protein, ovalbumin and lysozyme are most widely used in delivery systems, while ovotransferrin, ovomucoid and ovomucin are less developed and applied. Egg white protein-based nanoparticles are currently the most commonly used delivery carriers. Egg white protein-based hydrogels, emulsions, and microparticles are also widely used. Future research on the application of various egg white proteins in developed new delivery systems will provide more choices for the delivery of various bioactive substances.

Abstract
Lysozyme is a ~14 kDa protein present in many mucosal secretions (tears, saliva, and mucus) and tissues of animals and plants, and plays an important role in the innate immunity, providing protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Three main different types of lysozymes are known: the c-type (chicken or conventional type), the g-type (goose type), and the i-type (invertebrate type). It has long been the subject of several applications due to its antimicrobial properties. The problem of antibiotic resistance has stimulated the search for new molecules or new applications of known compounds. The use of lysozyme as an alternative antibiotic is the subject of this review, which covers the results published over the past two decades. This review is focused on the applications of lysozyme in medicine, (the treatment of infectious diseases, wound healing, and anti-biofilm), veterinary, feed, food preservation, and crop protection. It is available from a wide range of sources, in addition to the well-known chicken egg white, and its synergism with other compounds, endowed with antimicrobial activity, are also summarized. An overview of the modified lysozyme applications is provided in the form of tables.

Abstract
In our study, core-shell nanoparticles containing lysozyme were formulated with precipitation and layering self-assembly. Factorial design (DoE) was applied by setting the process parameters during the preparation with Quality by Design (QbD) approach. The factors were the concentration of lysozyme and sodium alginate, and pH. Our aim was to understand the effect of process parameters through the determination of mathematical equations, based on which the optimization parameters can be predicted under different process parameters. The optimization parameters were encapsulation efficiency, particle size, enzyme activity and the amount of α-helix structure. The nanoparticles were analysed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Based on our results, we found that pH was the most important factor and pH 10 was recommended during the formulation. Enzyme activity and α-helix content correlated with each other very well, and particle size and encapsulation efficiency also showed very good correlation with each other. The results of the α-helix content of FTIR and CD measurements were very similar for the precipitated lysozyme due to the solid state of lysozyme. The mixing time had the best influence on the encapsulation efficiency and the particle size, which leads to the conclusion that a mixing time of 1 h is recommended. The novelty in our study is the presentation of a mathematical model with which the secondary structure of the protein and other optimization parameters can be controlled in the future during development of nanoparticle based on the process parameters.

Abstract
Metastable protein-rich microdroplets are produced from liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of protein aqueous solutions. These globules can be intermediates for the formation of other protein-rich phases. Lysozyme aqueous solutions undergo LLPS around 0 °C in the presence of NaCl near physiological conditions. Here, it is shown that insertion of small amounts of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonate (HEPES, 0.1 M) as a second additive to lysozyme-NaCl-water solutions near physiological ionic strength (0.2 M) is an essential step for triggering conversion of protein-rich droplets into another phase. Specifically, LLPS induced by cooling reproducibly leads to a rapid and high-yield formation of compact tetragonal crystalline microparticles only in the presence of HEPES. These microcrystals exhibit small size (1-3 μm), narrow size distribution and guest-binding properties. The temperature-concentration phase diagram shows a characteristic topology with LLPS boundary metastable with respect to tetragonal microcrystals, which in turn become less stable than rod-shaped orthorhombic crystals above 40 °C. Interestingly, dynamic light scattering, hydrogen-ion titrations and isothermal titration calorimetry reveal that lysozyme-HEPES interactions were found to be weakly attractive and exothermic. Our findings indicate that additives of salting-in type can represent an important factor controlling the fate of metastable protein-rich microdroplets relevant to drug formulations, femtosecond crystallography, and potential implications in protein-driven cytoplasmic compartmentalization.

Synthesis of chitosan-lysozyme microspheres, physicochemical characterization, enzymatic and antimicrobial activity. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 185:572-581.

Abstract
Chitosan microspheres (CMS) by the emulsion-chemical cross-linking method with and without lysozyme immobilization were synthesized and characterized. The technique conditions were adjusted, and spherical particles with approximate diameters of 3.74 ± 1.08 μm and 0. 29 ± 0.029 μm to CMS and chitosan-lysozyme microspheres (C-LMS), respectively, were obtained. The microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Spectroscopy Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and zeta potential. Particle size was identified by laser light scattering (DLS) and the thermal properties by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetry (TGA) were determined. By the lysis of Micrococcus lysodeikticus, the activity of the microspheres was determined, and the results correlated with the amount of lysozyme used in the immobilization process and the enzyme loading efficiency was 67%. Finally, release tests pointed out the amount of enzyme immobilized on the microsphere surface. These results showed that chitosan microspheres could be used as material for lysozyme immobilization by cross-linking technique. The antimicrobial activity was tested by inhibition percent determination, and it evidenced both chitosan microspheres (CMS) and chitosan-lysozyme microspheres (C-LMS) positive antimicrobial activity to Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Abstract
There is broad interest in functionalizing solid surfaces with lysozyme, which is a widely studied antimicrobial protein. To date, most efforts have focused on developing more effective immobilization schemes to promote lysozyme attachment in fully aqueous conditions, while there remains an outstanding need to understand how tuning the solution-phase conformational stability of lysozyme proteins can modulate adsorption behavior and resulting adlayer properties. Inspired by the unique conformational behavior of lysozyme proteins in water-ethanol mixtures, we conducted quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) measurements to systematically investigate the adsorption behavior of lysozyme proteins onto silica surfaces across a wide range of water-ethanol mixtures. Our findings revealed that lysozyme adsorption behavior strongly depended on the ethanol fraction in a non-monotonic fashion and this trend could be rationalized by taking into account how competing effects of water and ethanol solvation influence solution-phase protein size and conformational stability. Integrated analysis of the QCM-D and LSPR measurement trends enabled quantitative determination of the solvent mass within lysozyme adlayers, which tended to decrease at higher ethanol fractions and supported that the hydrodynamic properties of lysozyme adlayers are mainly influenced by the degree of protein conformational flexibility as opposed to solvation effects alone.

Abstract
With the growth of the aging population worldwide, chronic wounds represent an increasing burden to healthcare systems. Wound healing is complex and not only affected by the patient's physiological conditions, but also by bacterial infections and inflammation, which delay wound closure and re-epithelialization. In recent years, there has been a growing interest for electrospun polymeric wound dressings with fiber diameters in the nano- and micrometer range. Such wound dressings display a number of properties, which support and accelerate wound healing. For instance, they provide physical and mechanical protection, exhibit a high surface area, allow gas exchange, are cytocompatible and biodegradable, resemble the structure of the native extracellular matrix, and deliver antibacterial agents locally into the wound. This review paper gives an overview on cytocompatible and biodegradable fibrous wound dressings obtained by electrospinning proteins and peptides of animal and plant origin in recent years. Focus is placed on the requirements for the fabrication of such drug delivery systems by electrospinning as well as their wound healing properties and therapeutic potential. Moreover, the incorporation of antimicrobial agents into the fibers or their attachment onto the fiber surface as well as their antimicrobial activity are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Micron-sized magnetic particles currently find a wide range of applications in many areas including biotechnology, biochemistry, colloid sciences and medicine. In this study, magnetic poly(glycidyl methacrylate) microparticles were synthesized by providing a polymerization around Fe(II)-Ni(II) magnetic double salt. Adsorption of lysozyme protein from aqueous systems was studied with these particles. Adsorption studies were performed with changing pH values, variable amount of adsorbent, different interaction times and lysozyme amounts. The adsorption capacity of the particles was investigated, and a value of about 95.6 mg lysozyme/g microparticle was obtained. The enzyme activity of the immobilized lysozyme was examined and found to be more stable and reusable compared to the free enzyme. The immobilized enzyme still showed 80% activity after five runs and managed to maintain 78% of its initial activity at the end of 60 days. Besides, in the antimicrobial analysis study for six different microorganisms, the minimum inhibitory concentration value of lysozyme immobilized particles was calculated as 125 μg/mL like free lysozyme. Finally, the adsorption interaction was found to be compatible with the Langmuir isotherm model. Accordingly, it can be said that magnetic poly(GMA) microparticles are suitable materials for lysozyme immobilization and immobilized lysozyme can be used in biotechnological studies.
