Protein-Resistant Property of Egg White Ovomucin under Different pHs and Ionic Strengths
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ovomucin is a mucin-type glycoprotein accounting for 3.5% (w/w) of total egg white proteins. The purpose of the study was to explore the potential of ovomucin as a protein-resistant material. Using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model protein, ovomucin decreased the fluorescence intensities of the adsorbed BSA from 10.90 ± 2.18 to 0.67 ± 0.75, indicating its protein-resistant property. To understand the underlying mechanism, pure repulsive forces between ovomucin and model proteins (e.g., BSA and ovomucin) at various pHs (2.0, 6.0, and 7.2) and ionic strengths (0.1, 10, and 150 mM NaCl) were measured using a surface forces apparatus. Further studies by using atomic force microscope imaging, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering suggested that the protein-resistant property of ovomucin was mainly attributed to strong electrostatic and steric repulsions between protein layers. This work has demonstrated that ovomucin has antifouling potential with broad applications in the areas of food processing industry and biomedical implants.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
