Abstract
In the present study, the interaction mechanism between gallic acid (GA) and α-Chymotrypsin (α-CT) was investigated by employing a series ofspectroscopic methods, computational docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. Fluorescence spectra analysis indicated the formation of a stable complex between GA and α-CT, where the quenching of the fluorescence emission was predominantly characterized by a static mechanism. TheCA obtained binding constants for the α-CT-GA complex were in the order of 103 M-1, indicating the moderate binding affinity of GA for α-CT. The corresponding CD findings showed that the interaction between GA and α-CT resulted in an alteration of the protein's secondary structure. The findings of the enzyme activity investigation clearly showed that the presence of GA led to a notable decline in the enzymatic activity of α-CT, highlighting GA's function as an effective inhibitor for α-CT. The molecular docking simulations revealed the optimal binding site for the GA molecule within the α-CT structure and MD simulations confirmed the stability of the α-CT-GA complex. This research expands our comprehension regarding the behavior of enzymes in the presence of small-molecule ligands and opens avenues for food safety.

Abstract
Among various herbal plants, saffron has been the subject of study in various medical and food fields. Among the compounds of saffron, safranal is one of them. Safranal is a monoterpene aldehyde. The precursor of safranal is called picrocrocin, whose hydrolysis leads to the production of safranal. picrocrocin has two sugar components and aglycone. sugar component was separated during the drying process of saffron and safranal is produced. Saffron is the cause of the saffron aroma. Previous studies have shown that safranal offers many benefits such as antioxidants, blood pressure regulation and anti-tumor qualities. On the other hand, α-Chy is an enzyme secreted by the pancreas into the intestine and then acts as an efficient protease. In this study, various methods, such as molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and molecular binding, and different spectroscopic techniques, as well as protein stability techniques, were used to investigate the possible interactions between safranal and α-Chy. UV spectroscopic studies were showing that the existence of safranal decreased α-Chy absorption intensity. safranal caused the intrinsic fluorescence of α-Chy to be quenched too. According to the Stern-Volmer equation, the interaction between safranal and α-Chy was of the static type. In thermodynamic calculations, the interaction between safranal and α-Chy was stabilized by hydrophobic forces. And it was found that this interaction continued spontaneously. These results were, thus, consistent with the Docking data simulation (with the negative ΔG° number and positive changes in enthalpy and entropy). The thermal stability of α-Chy was also measured, showing that its melting point was shifted to a higher threshold as a result of the interaction. also, MD simulation indicated that α-Chy became more stable in the presence of safranal. In this paper, all the results of the laboratory techniques were confirmed by molecular dynamic simulations, so the correctness of the results was confirmed. From this research, we hope to carefully observe the possible changes in the behavior and structure of the enzyme in the presence of safranal.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
With the advent of the industrial revolution, the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment has become ubiquitous. POPs are halogen-containing organic molecules that accumulate, and remain in the environment for a long time, thus causing toxic effects in living organisms. POPs exhibit a high affinity towards biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, causing genotoxicity and impairment of homeostasis in living organisms. Proteins are essential members of the biological assembly, as they stipulate all necessary processes for the survival of an organism. Owing to their stereochemical features, POPs and their metabolites form energetically favourable complexes with proteins, as supported by biological and dose-dependent toxicological studies. Although individual studies have reported the biological aspects of protein-POP interactions, no comprehensive study summarizing the structural mechanisms, thermodynamics and kinetics of protein-POP complexes is available. The current review identifies and classifies protein-POP interaction according to the structural and functional basis of proteins into five major protein targets, including digestive and other enzymes, serum proteins, transcription factors, transporters, and G-protein coupled receptors. Further, analysis detailing the molecular interactions and structural mechanism evidenced that H-bonds, van der Waals, and hydrophobic interactions essentially mediate the formation of protein-POP complexes. Moreover, interaction of POPs alters the protein conformation through kinetic and thermodynamic processes like competitive inhibition and allostery to modulate the cellular signalling processes, resulting in various pathological conditions such as cancers and inflammations. In summary, the review provides a comprehensive insight into the critical structural/molecular aspects of protein-POP interactions.

Abstract
The ability of a therapeutic compound to bind to proteins is critical for characterizing its therapeutic impacts. We have selected quercetin (Qu), a most common flavonoid found in plants and vegetables among therapeutic molecules that are known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-genotoxic, and anti-cancer effects. The current study aimed to see how quercetin interacts with pepsin in an aqueous environment under physiological conditions. Absorbance and emission spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and kinetic methods, as well as molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and docking, were applied to study the effects of Qu on the structure, dynamics, and kinetics of pepsin. Stern-Volmer (Ksv) constants were computed for the pepsin-quercetin complex at three temperatures, showing that Qu reduces enzyme emission spectra using a static quenching. With Qu binding, the Vmax and the kcat/Km values decreased. UV-vis absorption spectra, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and CD result indicated that Qu binding to pepsin leads to microenvironmental changes around the enzyme, which can alter the enzyme's secondary structure. Therefore, quercetin caused alterations in the function and structure of pepsin. Thermodynamic parameters, MD binding, and docking simulation analysis showed that non-covalent reactions, including the hydrophobic forces, played a key role in the interaction of Qu with pepsin. The findings conclude of spectroscopic experiments were supported by molecular dynamics simulations and molecular docking results.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor widely existing in plastics and resins, which can accumulate in animals and human bodies, posing a potential threat to the physiological and biochemical reactions of human beings or other organisms. α-Chymotrypsin is a kind of proteolytic enzyme existing in humans and animals, which can cause diseases when its activity is excessive. However, there is a lack of research on the mechanism of endocrine disruptors affecting α-chymotrypsin activity. In this study, the interaction between BPA and α-chymotrypsin was proved via multiple spectroscopic approaches, enzyme activity change, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking. Results showed that α-chymotrypsin's polypeptide chains were unfolded, and protein skeletons were loosened with the exposure to BPA. α-Helix content increased and β-sheet content was decreased. The particle size of the BPA-α-chymotrypsin complex became smaller. Fluorescence sensitization may also be explained by a perturbation of the chromophore Trp 141. The thermodynamic parameters of the binding reaction were measured by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), which showed that there was hydrophobic interaction between BPA and α-chymotrypsin, which was consistent with the results of molecular docking. Moreover, BPA may stop near the active center of α-chymotrypsin and interact with the key residues His 57 and Ser 195. The above phenomenon explained the result that the activity of α-chymotrypsin increased to 139% when exposed to high dose BPA (40 μM). Taken together, the effects of BPA on the structure and function of α-chymotrypsin were clarified at the molecular level, which made up the gap in the mechanism of BPA on the proteolytic enzyme, and provided a reliable basis for disease avoidance and prevention.

Abstract
Spermine as polyamines can have interaction with the myoglobin (Mb). The intent of this pondering to evaluate the impact of spermine on Mb properties, for example, the structure and thermal stability. For this analysis, the following approaches are employed. Thermodynamics, molecular dynamics (MD), and docking and the use of other spectroscopic procedures. The results of fluorescence spectroscopy and docking showed that binding spermine to Mb was spontaneous. Spermine quenched the fluorescence of Mb through the static quenching process. The thermal stability of Mb was incremented when the concentration of spermine increased. The CD spectra showed Mb's secondary structure shift with a rise in β-sheet and a decrease in α-helicity Mb's in spermine presence. Molecular docking and MD simulation outcomes demonstrate that electrostatic forces show a critical function in stabilizing of this complex, which is in conforming to spectroscopic results.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A one-pot efficient biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones was developed in a circulating microwave reactor selecting α-chymotrypsin as the promiscuous biocatalyst. In the circulating reaction system, the combination of microwave heating and external cooling could avoid the denaturation and inactivation of enzyme, and greatly improved the radiation power of microwave, thus improving the specific effects of microwave. During the reaction process, the microwave radiation power was automatically adjusted by adjusting the speed of the reaction mixture circulation. When the microwave power was maintained at 110 W, the best results could be obtained with the highest yield of 96% at 55 °C in 50 min, and the reaction had a wide range of substrates. But no obvious product was detected in a tank microwave reactor at 55 °C for 100 min, under this condition, the microwave power was maintained at about 3 W. As a contrast, the reaction only obtained 63% yield in 55 °C oil bath for 96 h.

Abstract
l-Methionine (l-Met) is one of the necessary amino acids that play unparalleled roles, influencing both the protein structure and metabolism. Understanding the interactions between proteins and small molecules can be realized by various perspectives, and this is significant for the progression of basic sciences and drug development. In this study, the variations in the stability, function, and structure of α-Chymotrypsin (α-Chy) in the presence of l-Met were investigated using spectroscopic and computational approaches. The results of the UV-vis absorption demonstrated that α-Chy had a maximum peak at 280 nm due to the Trp residue. Hyperchromism shift was seen in the presence of l-Met. Ground state system was formed in the presence of l-Met, as confirmed by the fluorescence studies. Fluorescence variations also revealed static quenching. The CD spectra also represented the alteration of the enzyme with an increase in the α-helix and a decrease in the β-sheet. The activity of α-Chy was incremented in the presence of l-Met. Therefore, l-Met served as an activator. Molecular docking results also indicated a negative amount for the Gibbs free energy of the binding of l-Met to the enzyme. α-Chy became more stable in the presence of l-Met, based on the molecular dynamics simulation.

Spectroscopic and mechanistic analysis of the interaction between Jack bean urease and polypseudorotaxane fabricated with bis-thiolated poly(ethylene glycol) and α-cyclodextrin. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 176:276-287.

Abstract
Self-assembled polypseudorotaxanes (PPRXs) fabricated with α-cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or its thiolated derivatives were candidate functional materials for enzyme soft-immobilization, encapsulation and controlled-release. The study of their interaction with Jack bean urease (JBU) indicated that they inconspicuously influenced the activity and stability of JBU during long storage, up to 30 days. The macro-species were inaccessible to JBU's active site and the steric effect might play a significant role in the stabilization of JBU, when compared with the small-molecular sulfhydryl inhibitor thioglycolic acid. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra analyses revealed that thiolated PEG400-(SH)2 and its assembly PPRX400(SH) brought in perturbations to certain α-helical or β-sheet domains of JBU, making JBU's conformation more flexible. The resulting partial unfolding of domains exposed several hydrophobic clusters and varied JBU's surface hydrophobicity. It also rendered the chromophores more hydrophilic and more bared to the polar environment, leading to the typical bathochromic-shift and quenching in intrinsic and synchronous fluorescence spectra. Moreover, the surface hydrophobicity profile of JBU was depicted by fluorescent probe monitoring and the unique "hydrophobic cave" motif was proposed by analyzing JBU's structural data from the Protein Data Bank. It should be pointed out that conformational variations mainly occurred at the surface region of JBU, while the buried active bi-nickel center was not markedly influenced by the macro-species. The results demonstrated that the PPRXs might act as a proper carrier for JBU encapsulation or soft-immobilization.

Abstract
Here, CuO nanoparticles were synthesized using Sambucus nigra (elderberry) fruit extract. Further, the binding of proteinase K, as a model enzyme with green synthesized nanoparticles was investigated. The results demonstrated that the structural changes in enzyme were induced by the binding of nanoparticles. These changes were accompanied by the decrease in the Michaelis-Menten constant at 298 K. This means that the enzyme affinity for the substrate was increased. Thermodynamic parameters of protein stability and protein-ligand binding were estimated from the spectroscopic measurements at 298-333 K. Depending on the temperature, CuO nanoparticles showed a dual effect on the thermodynamic stability and binding affinity of enzyme. Nanoparticles increase the stability of the native state of enzyme at room temperature. On the other hand, nanoparticles stabilize the unfolded state of enzyme at 310-333 K. An overall favorable Gibbs energy change was observed for the binding process at 298-333 K. The enzyme-nanoparticle binding is enthalpically driven at room temperature. It was concluded that hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the interaction of enzyme with nanoparticles at 298-310 K. At higher temperatures, the protein-ligand binding is entropically driven. This means that hydrophobic association plays a major role in the proteinase K-CuO binding at 310-333 K.

Abstract
Organochlorine pesticides have generated growing concern owing to their diverse toxicities. In this connection, we have evaluated toxic potential of an acaricide, dicofol (DCF) and its harmful effects on human RBCs and lymphocytes. DCF caused hemolysis and rupture of human erythrocytes as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Significant increase in protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, ROS production, methemoglobin formation with enhanced activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase but decreased level of reduced glutathione were observed as a result of DCF exposure to human erythrocytes. SEM showed significant DCF induced alterations in RBCs from normal discoid shape to echinocytes. Similarly, lymphocytes showed membrane damage, formation of membrane blebs and distorted cell morphology. In vitro comet assay indicated a significant DNA fragmentation in human lymphocytes upon DCF exposure. These results strongly suggest that DCF induces oxidative stress in RBCs via generation of ROS and alters the cellular architecture directly and indirectly.

Abstract
Thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), hydrophilic below its lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 32 °C and hydrophobic above it, has been widely used as a drug and gene delivery system with intelligent temperature-responsivity. In this work, we studied the in vitro and in vivo effects of PNIPAM on blood coagulation function, and further investigated the interactions of PNIPAM with coagulation-related blood components at cellular and molecular levels. Overall, PNIPAM demonstrated anti-coagulant activity in vitro and in vivo. Specifically, PNIPAM displayed cell membrane activity and caused red blood cell (RBC) aggregation at higher concentrations, but did not impair the membrane integrity of RBCs. PNIPAM inhibited platelet aggregation selectively through the arachidonic acid pathway. PNIPAM also disturbed the structure and conformation of fibrinogen. By contrast, PNIPAM did not affect the activity of the clotting factors in vitro but inhibited the activity of the clotting factors in vivo. The interaction of PNIPAM with plasma proteins was confirmed by a plasma protein absorption study with proteomics analysis. These findings provide key information on the hemocompatibility evaluation and antithrombotic applications of PNIPAM.
