Abstract
As one of the most important industrial enzymes, α-amylase is widely used in food processing, such as starch sugar and fermentation, bringing high added value to industry of more than a trillion dollars. We developed a multi-enzyme system (Glu&Gox@Cu-MOF-74) prepared by embedding α-glucosidase (Glu) and glucose oxidase (Gox) into the biomimetic metal-organic framework Cu-MOF-74 using in situ encapsulation within 15 min at room temperature for efficient and sensitive detection of α-amylase activity. Benefitting from the remarkable peroxidase-mimicking property and rigid skeleton of Cu-MOF-74, the biocatalytic platform exhibited excellent cascade activity and tolerance in various extremely harsh environments compared to natural enzymes. On this basis, a cascade biocatalytic platform was constructed for the detection of α-amylase activity with wide linear range (5-100 U/L) and low limit of detection (1.45 U/L). The colorimetric cascade scheme is important for the sensitive and selective determination of α-amylase in complex fermentation samples, and the detection time is short (∼0.5 h). This work provides new ideas for the detection of α-amylase based on the cascade amplification method.

Abstract
The insight into the binding mechanism of hesperetin, an aglycone flavanone, with human salivary α-amylase (HSAA), simulated under physiological salivary condition, was explored using various spectroscopic approaches and in silico method. Hesperetin effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSAA and the quenching was mixed quenching mechanism. The interaction perturbed the HSAA intrinsic fluorophore microenvironment and the enzyme global surface hydrophobicity. The negative values of ΔG for thermodynamic parameters and in silico study revealed the spontaneity of HSAA-hesperetin complex while the positive values of enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) showed noticeable involvement of hydrophobic bonding in the stabilization of the complex. Hesperetin was a mixed inhibitor for HSAA with a KI of 44.60 ± 1.63 μM and having apparent inhibition coefficient (α) of 0.26. Macromolecular crowding, given rise to microviscosity and anomalous diffusion, regulated the interaction. Sodium ion (Na+) created high ionic strength, also, modulated the interaction. The in silico study proposed the preferential binding of hesperetin at the active cleft domain of HSAA with the least energy of -8.0 kcal/mol. This work gives a novel insight on the potentials of hesperetin as a future prospective medicinal candidate in the management of postprandial hyperglycemic condition.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Flavonoids as dual-target inhibitors against α-glucosidase and α-amylase: a systematic review of in vitro studies. NATURAL PRODUCTS AND BIOPROSPECTING 2024; 14:4.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus remains a major global health issue, and great attention is directed at natural therapeutics. This systematic review aimed to assess the potential of flavonoids as antidiabetic agents by investigating their inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and α-amylase, two key enzymes involved in starch digestion. Six scientific databases (PubMed, Virtual Health Library, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and WHO Global Index Medicus) were searched until August 21, 2022, for in vitro studies reporting IC50 values of purified flavonoids on α-amylase and α-glucosidase, along with corresponding data for acarbose as a positive control. A total of 339 eligible articles were analyzed, resulting in the retrieval of 1643 flavonoid structures. These structures were rigorously standardized and curated, yielding 974 unique compounds, among which 177 flavonoids exhibited inhibition of both α-glucosidase and α-amylase are presented. Quality assessment utilizing a modified CONSORT checklist and structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis were performed, revealing crucial features for the simultaneous inhibition of flavonoids against both enzymes. Moreover, the review also addressed several limitations in the current research landscape and proposed potential solutions. The curated datasets are available online at https://github.com/MedChemUMP/FDIGA .

Abstract
α-Amylase plays a significant part in fermentation and the food industry, as this enzyme effectively regulates the content of different sugars in brewing systems and affects the yield and quality of alcoholic beverages. Nevertheless, current strategies suffer from unsatisfactory sensitivity and are time-consuming or are indirect methods which demand the assistance of tool enzymes or inhibitors. Therefore, they are unsuitable for the low bioactivity and non-invasive detection of α-amylase in fermentation samples. Rapid, sensitive, facile, and direct detection method of this protein remains challenging in actual applications. In this work, a nanozyme-based α-amylase assay was constructed. The colorimetric assay used the interaction between α-amylase and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) which crosslinks MOF-919-NH2. The determination mechanism bases on the hydrolysis of γ-CD by α-amylase, resulting in increased peroxidase-like bioactivity of the released MOF nanozyme. The detection limit was 0.12 U L-1 with a wide linear range (0-200 U L-1) and excellent selectivity. Additionally, the proposed detection method was successfully utilized in distilled yeasts to verify analytical capability in fermentation samples. The exploration of this nanozyme-based assay not only provides a convenient and effective strategy for enzyme activity determination in food industry, but also has promotion significance in clinical diagnosis and pharmaceutical production.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 290:122301. [PMID: 36603279 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2022.122301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 12/24/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activity is an effective way for controlling postprandial blood glucose-related diabetes. The study found that hesperetin-Cu(II) complex (Hsp-Cu(II)) exhibited a stronger inhibitory ability on α-amylase and α-glucosidase compared to hesperetin (Hsp), with smaller IC50 values of Hsp-Cu(II) (60.3 ± 0.9 µM for α-amylase; 1.25 ± 0.03 µM for α-glucosidase) than Hsp (115.6 ± 1.1 µM for α-amylase; 55.2 ± 0.1 µM for α-glucosidase). Interestingly, Hsp-Cu(II) and acarbose exerted a synergistic effect on inhibition of α-glucosidase. The binding affinities of Hsp-Cu(II) to α-amylase and α-glucosidase were strong with the Ka values (binding constant) in the magnitude order of 105, which was 9 times larger than Hsp. After interacting, Hsp-Cu(II) reduced α-helix contents of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, resulting in a looser conformation of these two enzymes. Molecular simulations manifested that Hsp-Cu(II) bound to the active center of enzymes driven by hydrogen bonds and interacted with the key catalytic amino acids (α-amylase: Gln63, Asp300 and His305; α-glucosidase: Tyr158, Asp215, Glu277 and Glu411), altering the conformation of enzymes, blocking the entrance of substrates, ultimately reducing the activities of α-glucosidase and α-amylase. This study has demonstrated that Hsp-Cu(II) may be a promising candidate of functional nutritional additive and medicine for the prevention of diabetes.

Isolation and Mechanistic Characterization of a Novel Zearalenone-Degrading Enzyme. Foods 2022; 11:foods11182908.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEN) and its derivatives pose a serious threat to global food quality and animal health. The use of enzymes to degrade mycotoxins has become a popular method to counter this threat. In this study, Aspergillus niger ZEN-S-FS10 extracellular enzyme solution with ZEN-degrading effect was separated and purified to prepare the biological enzyme, FSZ, that can degrade ZEN. The degradation rate of FSZ to ZEN was 75−80% (pH = 7.0, 28 °C). FSZ can function in a temperature range of 28−38 °C and pH range of 2.0−7.0 and can also degrade ZEN derivatives (α-ZAL, β-ZOL, and ZAN). According to the enzyme kinetics fitting, ZEN has a high degradation rate. FSZ can degrade ZEN in real samples of corn flour. FSZ can be obtained stably and repeatedly from the original strain. One ZEN degradation product was isolated: FSZ−P(C18H26O4), with a relative molecular weight of 306.18 g/mol. Amino-acid-sequencing analysis revealed that FSZ is a novel enzyme (homology < 10%). According to the results of molecular docking, ZEN and ZAN can utilize their end-terminal carbonyl groups to bind FSZ residues PHE307, THR55, and GLU129 for a high-degradation rate. However, α-ZAL and β-ZOL instead contain hydroxyl groups that would prevent binding to GLU129; thus, the degradation rate is low for these derivatives.
