Driven by the rising demand for healthy diets, vegetable oil-based oleogels as animal fat substitutes have attracted increasing research attention. In this study, a starch-protein composite oleogel was prepared by emulsion templating using protein-glutaminase (PG)-modified glutinous rice flour (GRF)/soy protein isolate...

Poor gastrointestinal bioaccessibility limits the efficacy of conventional Zn supplements. Herein, protein glutaminase-mediated deamidation of soy protein isolate (SPI) was performed to develop a Zn delivery system. Deamidation increased the Zn-binding capacity of SPI to 29.8 mg/g protein through the formation of addit...

Base editors (BEs) enable efficient A-to-G or C-to-T conversions without double-stranded DNA cleavage, but their editing windows remain difficult to tune, limiting genome engineering flexibility. Here, we engineered CRISPR/Cas12b sgRNA by introducing MS2 hairpins to recruit an MS2-N55K-cytidine deaminase-UGI complex, e...
