Abstract
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known for their high environmental persistence and potential toxicity. The presence of PFAS has been reported in many dairy products. However, the mechanisms underlying the accumulation of PFAS in these products remain unclear. Here, we used native mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations to probe the interactions between 19 PFAS of environmental concern and two isoforms of the major bovine whey protein β-lactoglobulin (β-LG). We observed that six of these PFAS bound to both protein isoforms with low- to mid-micromolar dissociation constants. Based on quantitative, competitive binding experiments with endogenous ligands, PFAS can bind orthosterically and preferentially to β-LG's hydrophobic ligand-binding calyx. β-Cyclodextrin can also suppress binding of PFAS to β-LG owing to the ability of β-cyclodextrin to directly sequester PFAS from solution. This research sheds light on PFAS-β-LG binding, suggesting that such interactions could impact lipid-fatty acid transport in bovine mammary glands at high PFAS concentrations. Furthermore, our results highlight the potential use of β-cyclodextrin in mitigating PFAS binding, providing insights toward the development of strategies to reduce PFAS accumulation in dairy products and other biological systems.

Abstract
β-Lactoglobulin (BLG) is a member of the lipocalin family. As other proteins from this group, BLG can be modified to bind specifically compounds of medical interests. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of two mutations, L39Y and L58F, in the binding of topical anesthetic pramoxine (PRM) to β-lactoglobulin. Circular dichroism spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and X-ray crystallography were used to understand the mechanisms of BLG-PRM interactions. Studies were performed for three new BLG mutants: L39Y, L58F, and L39Y/L58F. ITC measurements indicated a significant increase in the affinity to the PRM of variants L58F and L39Y. Measurements taken for the double mutant L39Y/L58F showed the additivity of two mutations leading to about 80-fold increase in the affinity to PRM in comparison to natural protein BLG from bovine milk. The determined crystal structures revealed that pramoxine is accommodated in the β-barrel interior of BLG mutants and stabilized by hydrophobic interactions. The observed additive effect of two mutations on drug binding opens the possibility for further designing of new BLG variants with high affinity to selected drugs.

Abstract
Introduction Pet lipocalins are respiratory allergens with a central hydrophobic ligand-binding cavity called a calyx. Molecules carried in the calyx by allergens are suggested to influence allergenicity, but little is known about the native ligands. Methods To provide more information on prospective ligands, we report crystal structures, NMR, molecular dynamics, and florescence studies of a dog lipocalin allergen Can f 1 and its closely related (and cross-reactive) cat allergen Fel d 7. Results Structural comparisons with reported lipocalins revealed that Can f 1 and Fel d 7 calyxes are open and positively charged while other dog lipocalin allergens are closed and negatively charged. We screened fatty acids as surrogate ligands, and found that Can f 1 and Fel d 7 bind multiple ligands with preferences for palmitic acid (16:0) among saturated fatty acids and oleic acid (18:1 cis-9) among unsaturated ones. NMR analysis of methyl probes reveals that conformational changes occur upon binding of pinolenic acid inside the calyx. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that the carboxylic group of fatty acids shuttles between two positively charged amino acids inside the Can f 1 and Fel d 7 calyx. Consistent with simulations, the stoichiometry of oleic acid-binding is 2:1 (fatty acid: protein) for Can f 1 and Fel d 7. Discussion The results provide valuable insights into the determinants of selectivity and candidate ligands for pet lipocalin allergens Can f 1 and Fel d 7.

Abstract
Metalloenzymes catalyze a variety of reactions using a limited number of natural amino acids and metallocofactors. Therefore, the environment beyond the primary coordination sphere must play an important role in both conferring and tuning their phenomenal catalytic properties, enabling active sites with otherwise similar primary coordination environments to perform a diverse array of biological functions. However, since the interactions beyond the primary coordination sphere are numerous and weak, it has been difficult to pinpoint structural features responsible for the tuning of activities of native enzymes. Designing artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) offers an excellent basis to elucidate the roles of these interactions and to further develop practical biological catalysts. In this review, we highlight how the secondary coordination spheres of ArMs influence metal binding and catalysis, with particular focus on the use of native protein scaffolds as templates for the design of ArMs by either rational design aided by computational modeling, directed evolution, or a combination of both approaches. In describing successes in designing heme, nonheme Fe, and Cu metalloenzymes, heteronuclear metalloenzymes containing heme, and those ArMs containing other metal centers (including those with non-native metal ions and metallocofactors), we have summarized insights gained on how careful controls of the interactions in the secondary coordination sphere, including hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions, allow the generation and tuning of these respective systems to approach, rival, and, in a few cases, exceed those of native enzymes. We have also provided an outlook on the remaining challenges in the field and future directions that will allow for a deeper understanding of the secondary coordination sphere a deeper understanding of the secondary coordintion sphere to be gained, and in turn to guide the design of a broader and more efficient variety of ArMs.

Abstract
The homodimeric β-lactoglobulin belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins that transport a wide range of hydrophobic molecules and can be modified by mutagenesis to develop specificity for novel groups of ligands. In this work, new lactoglobulin variants, FAF (I56F/L39A/M107F) and FAW (I56F/L39A/M107W), were produced and their interactions with the tricyclic drug desipramine (DSM) were studied using X-ray crystallography, calorimetry (ITC) and circular dichroism (CD). The ITC and CD data showed micromolar affinity of the mutants for DSM and interactions according to the classical one-site binding model. However, the crystal structures unambiguously showed that the FAF and FAW dimers are capable of binding DSM not only inside the β-barrel as expected, but also at the dimer interface and at the entrance to the binding pocket. The presented high-resolution crystal structures therefore provide important evidence of the existence of alternative ligand-binding sites in the β-lactoglobulin molecule. Analysis of the crystal structures highlighted the importance of shape complementarity for ligand recognition and selectivity. The binding sites identified in the crystal structures of the FAF-DSM and FAW-DSM complexes together with data from the existing literature are used to establish a systematic classification of the ligand-binding sites in the β-lactoglobulin molecule.

Abstract
Many allergens feature hydrophobic cavities that allow the binding of primarily hydrophobic small‐molecule ligands. Ligand‐binding specificities can be strict or promiscuous. Serum albumins from mammals and birds can assume multiple conformations that facilitate the binding of a broad spectrum of compounds. Pollen and plant food allergens of the family 10 of pathogenesis‐related proteins bind a variety of small molecules such as glycosylated flavonoid derivatives, flavonoids, cytokinins, and steroids in vitro. However, their natural ligand binding was reported to be highly specific. Insect and mammalian lipocalins transport odorants, pheromones, catecholamines, and fatty acids with a similar level of specificity, while the food allergen β‐lactoglobulin from cow's milk is notably more promiscuous. Non‐specific lipid transfer proteins from pollen and plant foods bind a wide variety of lipids, from phospholipids to fatty acids, as well as sterols and prostaglandin B2, aided by the high plasticity and flexibility displayed by their lipid‐binding cavities. Ligands increase the stability of allergens to thermal and/or proteolytic degradation. They can also act as immunomodulatory agents that favor a Th2 polarization. In summary, ligand‐binding allergens expose the immune system to a variety of biologically active compounds whose impact on the sensitization process has not been well studied thus far.

Abstract
The two lipocalins, β-lactoglobulin (βLg) and glycodelin (Gd), are possibly the most closely related members of the large and widely distributed lipocalin family, yet their functions appear to be substantially different. Indeed, the function of β-lactoglobulin, a major component of ruminant milk, is still unclear although neonatal nutrition is clearly important. On the other hand, glycodelin has several specific functions in reproduction conferred through distinct, tissue specific glycosylation of the polypeptide backbone. It is also associated with some cancer outcomes. The glycodelin gene, PAEP, reflecting one of its names, progestagen-associated endometrial protein, is expressed in many though not all primates, but the name has now also been adopted for the β-lactoglobulin gene (HGNC, www.genenames.org). After a general overview of the two proteins in the context of the lipocalin family, this review considers the properties of each in the light of their physiological functional significance, supplementing earlier reviews to include studies from the past decade. While the biological function of glycodelin is reasonably well defined, that of β-lactoglobulin remains elusive.

Abstract
Bovine β-lactoglobulin, an abundant protein in whey, is a promising nanocarrier for peroral administration of drug-like hydrophobic molecules, a process that involves transit through the different acidic conditions of the human digestive tract. Among the several pH-induced conformational rearrangements that this lipocalin undergoes, the Tanford transition is particularly relevant. This transition, which occurs with a midpoint around neutral pH, involves a conformational change of the E-F loop that regulates accessibility to the primary binding site. The effect of this transition on the ligand binding properties of this protein has scarcely been explored. In this study, we carried out an energetic and structural characterization of β-lactoglobulin molecular recognition at pH values above and below the zone in which the Tanford transition occurs. The combined analysis of crystallographic, calorimetric, and molecular dynamics data sheds new light on the interplay between self-association, ligand binding, and the Tanford pre- and post-transition conformational states, revealing novel aspects underlying the molecular recognition mechanism of this enigmatic lipocalin.

Abstract
Whey represents a valuable protein source for human nutrition. Whey composition varies with respect to process characteristics during milk processing. For efficient exploitation of this dairy side stream, reliable analytical methods are essential. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an RP-HPLC-DAD method for the simultaneous quantification of the minor (lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, bovine serum albumin) and major (α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin) whey proteins. Seven RP-columns were compared and the composition of the mobile phase was optimized to achieve baseline separation. In validation experiments the limits of detection (LOD < 8 mg/L) and quantification (LOQ < 24 mg/L) were determined. Validity was proofed by precision (>96%), accuracy (95% - 103%) and recovery (96% - 102%) measurements. Peak homogeneity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The individual working ranges were adjusted to the estimated protein concentrations in whey, allowing direct analysis without sample preparation at a method runtime of 23 min.

Abstract
Recombinant proteins play an important role in medicine and have diverse applications in industrial biotechnology. Lactoglobulin has shown great potential for use in targeted drug delivery and body fluid detoxification because of its ability to bind a variety of molecules. In order to modify the biophysical properties of β-lactoglobulin, a series of single-site mutations were designed using a structure-based approach. A 3-dimensional structure alignment of homologous molecules led to the design of nine β-lactoglobulin variants with mutations introduced in the binding pocket region. Seven stable and correctly folded variants (L39Y, I56F, L58F, V92F, V92Y, F105L, M107L) were thoroughly characterized by fluorescence, circular dichroism, isothermal titration calorimetry, size-exclusion chromatography, and X-ray structural investigations. The effects of the amino acid substitutions were observed as slight rearrangements of the binding pocket geometry, but they also significantly influenced the global properties of the protein. Most of the mutations increased the thermal/chemical stability without altering the dimerization constant or pH-dependent conformational behavior. The crystal structures reveal that the I56F and F105L mutations reduced the depth of the binding pocket, which is advantageous since it can reduce the affinity to endogenous fatty acids. The F105L mutant created a unique binding mode for a fatty acid, supporting the idea that lactoglobulin can be altered to bind unique molecules. Selected variants possessing a unique combination of their individual properties can be used for further, more advanced mutagenesis, and the presented results support further research using β-lactoglobulin as a therapeutic delivery agent or a blood detoxifying molecule.

Abstract
Interaction between β-lactoglobulin and single-chain lipids, differing for either the length of the aliphatic chain or the molecular properties of the headgroup, was investigated at neutral and acidic pH to determine the impact on the thermal stability of the protein. Differential scanning calorimetry results with different fatty acids (from C10:0 to C18:0) show a correlation of both melting temperature and unfolding enthalpy of the protein with the ligand binding affinity, and the maximum effect was found for palmitic acid (PLM). The influence of the lipid polar head was investigated by comparing PLM with lyso-palmitoylphosphatidylcholine (LPC), which possesses the same aliphatic chain. At neutral pH, the stabilizing effect of LPC is less favorable compared to PLM. However, fluorescence results revealed that LPC can bind into the protein calyx even at acidic pH, at variance with fatty acids. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that this difference is due to the ability of the polar head of LPC to interact with the protein loop that regulates the shift (Tanford transition) between open and closed state of the binding site of β-lactoglobulin. The results provide a rationale for how a ligand has the ability to access the protein active site at acidic conditions by overcoming the Tanford transition, and they demonstrate that β-lactoglobulin can deliver ligands with tailored properties of the polar head in a wide pH range.

Abstract
The binding interactions of the surfactants: anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), non-ionic octyl glucoside (OG), and zwitterionic 3-[Hexadecyl(dimethyl)ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (HPS), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by computer simulation. The results disclosed that the surfactants bound stably between hydrophobic subdomain IIA and IIIA where tryptophan-213 residue, an important intrinsic fluorophore in BSA is housed. The interactions of the surfactants with the BSA were electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The head-groups of SDS, HPS and OG formed hydrogen bonds with the BSA, while that of CTAB was shielded from intermolecular hydrogen-bonding due to intervening methyl groups. Subsequently, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the protein-surfactant complexes revealed that hydrogen bonds formed by OG were stronger than those of SDS and HPS. However, the decomposed force-field energies showed that OG had the least interaction energy with the BSA. In addition to MD simulation, it was found by density functional theory (DFT) that the differences in the coulomb interaction energies can be attributed to charge distribution in the surfactants. Overall, free energies calculated by linear interaction energy (LIE) proved that the binding of each surfactant was dominated by differences between van der Waals interactions in bound and free states.

Abstract
In this study, the interaction and binding behavior of anesthetic tetracaine (TET) with bovine β-lactoglobulin (LGB) isoform A and a mixture of isoforms A and B were investigated under varying environmental conditions (pH, ionic strength, concentration, LGB-TET complex molar ratio). A wide range of analytical techniques (dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrophoretic mobility, UV-Vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D) were used to analyze the physicochemical properties of the complexes in bulk solution and on the surface of gold. The experiments revealed that TET, which is amphiphilic, could bind with LGB not only in the β-barrel but also onto the surface. The zeta potential of the LGB becomes more positively charged upon interaction with TET due to electrostatic interaction of the amino group present in the TET structure. Changes in the zeta potential values are mostly visible above pH 6 for all tested systems. CD spectra show that interaction with the ligand does not change the secondary structure of the protein. The physicochemical properties of LGB-TET complex were examined in an adsorbed state on a gold surface using the QCM-D method. Additionally, molecular docking was used to evaluate the most likely binding site for TET with LGB.

Abstract
Bovine β-lactoglobulin (LGB) is a transport protein that can bind to its structure hydrophobic bioactive molecules. Due to the lack of toxicity, high stability and pH-dependent molecular binding mechanism, lactoglobulin can be used as a carrier of sparingly soluble drugs. Dynamic light scattering has confirmed LGB's tendency to create oligomeric forms. The hydrodynamic diameter of LGB molecules varies from 4 nm to 6 nm in the pH range of 2-10 and ionic strength I = 0.001-0.15 M, which corresponds to the presence of mono or dimeric LGB forms. The LGB zeta potential varies from 26.5 mV to -33.3 mV for I = 0.01 M and from 13.3 mV to -16 mV for I = 0.15 M in the pH range of 2-10. The isoelectric point is at pH 4.8. As a result of strong surface charge compensation, the maximum effective ionization degree of the LGB molecule is 35% for ionic strength I = 0.01 M and 22% for I = 0.15 M. The effectiveness of adsorption is linked with the properties of the protein, as well as those of the adsorption surface. The functionalization of gold surfaces with β-lactoglobulin (LGB) was studied using a quartz crystal microbalance with energy dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). The effectiveness of LGB adsorption correlates strongly with a charge of gold surface and the zeta potential of the molecule. The greatest value of the adsorbed mass was observed in the pH range in which LGB has a positive zeta potential values, below pH 4.8. This observation shows that electrostatic interactions play a dominant role in LGB adsorption on gold surfaces. Based on the adsorbed mass, protein orientation on gold surfaces was determined. The preferential side-on orientation of LGB molecules observed in the adsorption layer is consistent with the direction of the molecule dipole momentum determined by molecular dynamics simulations of the protein (MD). The use of the QCM-D method also allowed us to determine the effectiveness of adsorption of LGB on gold surface. Knowing the mechanism of LGB adsorption is significant importance for determining the optimum conditions for immobilizing this protein on solid surfaces. As β-lactoglobulin is a protein that binds various ligands, the binding properties of immobilized β-lactoglobulin can be used to design controlled protein structures for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Functional recombinant bovine β-lactoglobulin has been produced by expression in E. coli using an engineered protein gene and purified to homogeneity by applying a new protocol. Mutations L1A/I2S introduced into the protein sequence greatly facilitate in vivo cleavage of the N-terminal methionine, allowing correctly folded and soluble protein suitable for biochemical, biophysical and structural studies to be obtained. The use of gel filtration on Sephadex G75 at the last purification step enables protein without endogenous ligand to be obtained. The physicochemical properties of recombinant β-lactoglobulin such as CD spectra, ligand binding (n, K a, ΔH, TΔS, ΔG), chemical and thermal stability (ΔG D, C mid) and crystal structure confirmed that the protein obtained is almost identical to the natural one. The substitutions of N-terminal residues did not influence the binding properties of the recombinant protein so that the lactoglobulin produced and purified according to our protocol is a good candidate for further engineering and potential use in pharmacology and medicine.

Abstract
Ligand-binding properties of β-lactoglobulin (β-lg) are well documented, but the subsequent biological functions are still unclear. Focusing on fatty acids/β-lg complexes, the structure-function relationships are reviewed in the light of the structural state of the protein (native versus non-native aggregated proteins). After a brief description of β-lg native structure, the review takes an interest in the binding properties of native β-lg (localization of binding sites, stoichiometry, and affinity) and the way the interaction affects the biological properties of the protein and the ligand. The binding properties of non-native aggregated forms of β-lg that are classically generated during industrial processing are also related. Structural changes modify the stoichiometry and the affinity of β-lg for fatty acids and consequently the biological functions of the complex. Finally, the fatty acid-binding properties of other whey proteins (α-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin) and some biological properties of the complexes are also addressed. These proteins affect β-lg/fatty acids complex in whey given their competition with β-lg for fatty acids.
