Active macromolecules of honey form colloidal particles essential for honey antibacterial activity and hydrogen peroxide production
Abstract Little is known about the global structure of honey and the arrangement of its main macromolecules. We hypothesized that the conditions in ripened honeys resemble macromolecular crowding in the cell and affect the concentration, reactivity, and conformation of honey macromolecules. Combined...
