This study investigated emulsions stabilized by varying blends of whey protein concentrate (WPC) and rice protein hydrolysate (RPH) in mass ratios ranging from 100:0–0:100, focusing on their physicochemical properties, stability, and digestive characteristics. RPH was obtained via trypsin hydrolysis, achieving a solubility of up to 92.4 % across pH values of 3–9. Increasing the ratio of RPH in blend led to a reduction in particle size, an increase in surface charge, a decrease in surface hydrophobicity, and a more flexible secondary structure. The emulsions exhibited particle sizes below 325 nm with a narrow size distribution and high surface charge. The gradual replacement of WPC with RPH resulted in decreased physical stability of the emulsions under varying pH and ionic strength conditions. Emulsions composed of 75 % WPC and 25 % RPH demonstrated the highest stability against lipid oxidation. The incorporation of RPH into WPC formulations enhanced the fatty acid release rate of the emulsions compared to those stabilized by individual emulsifiers. These findings may offer a robust theoretical foundation for the selection and utilization of blended animal and plant proteins in emulsion technology.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":279,"journal":{"name":"Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces","volume":"255 ","pages":"Article 114917"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144514260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dimeric β clamp is loaded onto primer:template DNA junctions by a five-subunit clamp loader complex. We previously showed that tuning the stability of the β dimer interface affected clamp opening dynamics and function. The L82D clamp mutation destabilized the dimer interface due to altered hydrophobic interactions and β L82D exhibited lower thermostability, a change in dimerization state, and a decrease in loading activity. Molecular modeling revealed a rearrangement of the local hydrogen-bond network near L82D in Domain 1, leading to new, non-native interactions involving residues Q265 and R269 in Domain 3 of the partner protomer. We hypothesize that altering this newly formed network in the context of the β L82D variant may stabilize the dimer interface and rescue clamp activity. To test these hypotheses, Q265 and R269 were mutated in WT β and in the L82D variant. The β R269 residue is essential for maintaining a stable dimer interface, functional oligomeric state, and efficient DNA loading, while Q265 is not, as Q265A is tolerated. Disrupting native interactions of R269 with the formation of an alternate bonding network in L82D seems to be the primary driver for the lower thermostability, altered dimerization state, and loss of clamp activity previously observed in β L82D. Our observations show that a complex balance of noncovalent interactions contributes to the stability of the β clamp dimer interface.</p>","PeriodicalId":28,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry Biochemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144504140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
