Interaction of different chloro-substituted phenylurea herbicides (diuron and chlortoluron) with bovine serum albumin: Insights from multispectral study. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 316:124338. [PMID: 38678839 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124338] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In this work, the interaction between different chloro-substituted phenylurea herbicides (diuron (DIU) and chlortoluron (CHL)) and BSA were investigated and compared at three different temperatures (283 K, 298 K and 310 K) adopting UV-vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectra. The quenching mechanism of the interaction was also proposed. The energy transfer between BSA and DIU/CHL was investigated. The binding sites of DIU/CHL and BSA and the variations in the microenvironment of amino acid residues were studied. The changes of the secondary structure of BSA were analyzed. The results indicate that both DIU and CHL can significantly interact with BSA, and the degree of the interaction between DIU/CHL and BSA increases with the increase of the DIU/CHL concentration. The fluorescence quenching of BSA by DIU/CHL results from the combination of static and dynamic quenching. The DIU/CHL has a weak to moderate binding affinity for BSA, and the binding stoichiometry is 1:1. Their binding processes are spontaneous, and hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces are the main interaction forces. DIU/CHL has higher affinity for subdomain IIA (Site I) of BSA than subdomain IIIA (Site II), and also interacts with tryptophan more than tyrosine residues. The energy transfer can occur from BSA to DIU/CHL. By comparison, the strength of the interaction of DIU-BSA is always greater than that of CHL-BSA, and DIU can destroy the secondary structure of BSA molecules greater than CHL and thus the potential toxicity of DIU is higher due to DIU with more chlorine substituents than CHL. It is expected that this study on the interaction can offer in-depth insights into the toxicity of phenylurea herbicides, as well as their impact on human and animal health at the molecular level.

Abstract
HSA (human serum albumin), a most abundant protein in blood serum, plays a key role in maintaining human health. Abnormal HSA level is correlated with many diseases, and thus has been used as an essential biomarker for therapeutic monitoring and biomedical diagnosis. Development of small-molecule fluorescent probes allowing the selective and sensitive recognition of HSA in in vitro and in vivo is of fundamental importance in basic biological research as well as medical diagnosis. Herein, we reported a series of new synthesized fluorescent dyes containing D-π-A constitution, which exhibited different optical properties in solution and solid state. Among them, dye M-H-SO3 with a hydrophilic sulfonate group at electron-acceptor part displayed selectivity for discrimination of HSA from BSA and other enzymes. Upon binding of dye M-H-SO3 with HSA, a significant fluorescence enhancement with a turn-on ratio about 96-fold was triggered. The detection limit was estimated to be ∼ 40 nM. Studies on the interaction mechanism revealed that dye M-H-SO3 could bind to site III of HSA with a 1:1 binding stoichiometry. Furthermore, dye M-H-SO3 has been applied to determine HSA in real urine samples with good recoveries, which provided a useful method for HSA analysis in biological fluids.

Abstract
Lutein possesses various physiological activities but is susceptible to light degradation, thermal degradation, and oxidative degradation. As such, protecting the activity of lutein-based products using natural extracts has become a current research. In this study, lutein was protected by complexing inulin-type fructan (ITF), soybean protein isolate (SPI), and epicatechin (EC), and the protection mechanism of epicatechin-fructan glycosylated soybean protein isolate (EC-GSPI) toward lutein was elucidated comprehensively. The results showed that the addition of EC delayed the degradation of lutein. The results of light stability experiments showed that increased EC significantly enhanced the storage time of the GSPI-Lutein system from 4 to 13 days. Additionally, the effect of EC on glycosylated soybean 7S globulin (G7S) and glycosylated soybean 11S globulin (G11S) was assessed. The light stability of G11S-Lutein and G7S-Lutein after the addition of EC was from G11S > G7S → G7S > G11S. Furthermore, the proteins purified from SPI interacted differently with EC and ITF, with soybean 7S globulin (7S) mainly interacting with EC and soybean 11S globulin (11S) mainly interacting with ITF. EC-GSPI-Lutein exhibited a good protective effect, probably due to the occurrence of hygrothermal Maillard between ITF and 11S, providing a porous structure for lutein storage. At the same time, the binding of EC to 7S significantly enhanced the antioxidant property of the solution and the stability of the protein secondary structure, thereby prolonging the storage time of lutein.

Abstract
Isovitexin is a main natural flavonoid component in various plants. Currently, the inhibitory effect of isovitexin on pancreatic lipase (PL) and its mechanism have not been elucidated yet. In the present study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of isovitexin on PL, as well as its interaction mechanism, using enzyme inhibition methods, spectroscopic analysis, and molecular simulations. Results showed that isovitexin possessed significant PL inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 0.26 ± 0.02 mM. The interaction between isovitexin and PL was dominated by static quenching, and mainly through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction forces. Analysis of fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed that isovitexin binding altered the conformation of the PL. Circular dichroism (CD) spectrum indicated that isovitexin altered the secondary structure of PL by decreasing the α-helix content and increasing the β-fold content. Molecular simulations further characterize the conformational changes produced by the interaction between isovitexin with PL. The performed study may provide a new insight into the inhibitory mechanism of isovitexin as a novel PL inhibitor.

Abstract
Dacomitinib (DAC), as a member of tyrosine kinase inhibitors is primarily used to treat non-small cell lung cancer. The intermolecular interaction between DAC and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was comprehended with the help of experiments and theoretical simulations. The outcomes indicated that DAC quenched the endogenous fluorescence of BSA through static quenching mode. In the binding process, DAC was preferentially inserted into the hydrophobic cavity of BSA subdomain IA (site III), and a fluorescence-free DAC-BSA complex with molar ratio of 1:1 was generated. The outcomes confirmed that DAC had a stronger affinity on BSA and the non-radiative energy transfer occurred in the combination process of two. And, it can be inferred from the outcomes of thermodynamic parameters and competition experiments with 8-aniline-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) and D-(+)- sucrose that hydrogen bonds (H-bonds), van der Waals forces (vdW) and hydrophobic forces had a significant impact in inserting DAC into the hydrophobic cavity of BSA. The outcomes from multi-spectroscopic measurements that DAC could affect the secondary structure of BSA, that was, α-helix content decreased slightly from 51.0% to 49.7%. Moreover, the combination of DAC and BSA led to a reduction in the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment around tyrosine (Tyr) residues in BSA while had little influence on the microenvironment of around tryptophan (Trp) residues. The outcomes from molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation further demonstrated the insertion of DAC into site III of BSA and hydrogen energy and van der Waals energy were the dominant energy of DAC-BSA stability. In addition, the influence of metal ions (Fe3+, Cu2+, Co2+, etc.) on the affinity of the system was explored.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The health benefits of astaxanthin (AST) are related to its geometric isomers. Generally, functional activity is realized by the interactions between active substances and transporters. Hereto, bovine serum albumin (BSA), as a model-binding protein and transporter, is able to recognize and transport isomers of active substances through binding with them. However, differences in the binding mechanism of isomers to BSA may affect the functional activities of isomers through the "binding-transport-activity" chain reaction. Thus, this study sought to elucidate the interactions between AST geometrical isomers and BSA using multi-spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance and molecular docking. The results showed that Z-AST displayed more interacting amino acid residues and lower thermodynamic parameters than all-E-AST. Meanwhile, the order of binding affinity to BSA was 13Z-AST (1.56 × 10-7 M) > 9Z-AST (2.70 × 10-7 M) > all-E-AST (4.01 × 10-7 M), indicating that Z-AST possessed stronger binding ability to BSA. Moreover, AST isomers were located at the junction between subdomains ⅡA and ⅢA of BSA, and showed the same interaction forces (hydrogen bond and van der Waals force) as well as kinetic processes (slow combination, slow dissociation). These interaction parameters provide valuable insights into their pharmacokinetics in vivo, and it was of great significance to explain the potential differences among AST isomers in functional activities.

Abstract
In the fields of pharmacology and life sciences, it is essential to study how prescribed drugs interact with carrier proteins in human serum albumin. The current study has evaluated the binding properties of rhodanine derivative; (z)-2-(4-(5-((3-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl)benzamido)acetic acid (P3CL) on bovine serum albumin (BSA) by biophysical approach. BSA is a homology model of Human serum albumin. Due to the cost-effectiveness of Human Serum Albumin (HSA) we have studied the binding properties of rhodanine derivative (P3CL) on BSA. The BSA-P3CL interactions were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and revealed the presence of a static quenching mechanism. P3CL possesses good binding affinity on BSA with binding constant KP3CL = 5.36330 × 1013 M-1 binding free energy. We have calculated the binding free energy, the number of binding sites, and the binding constants. The establishment of hydrogen bonds and the active participation of amino acids in drug binding were confirmed by molecular docking studies. As conventional processes for the investigation of pharmacological drugs, therapeutic combinations, and coordinated drug intake, the offered strategies are simple to comprehend, accurate, and rapid to put into practice. Our findings will support an additional investigation into ligand's pharmacological activity.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Lipoxygenase (LOX) has the harmful effect of accelerating lipid oxidation, and polyphenols have the inhibitory effect on lipoxygenase. However, there were rare researches investigated on the interactions between polyphenols and LOX. In this study, the binding mechanisms between polyphenols (Jaceosidin-JSD and baicalein-BCL) and LOX were investigated by multi-spectroscopic analysis and computational study. Both JSD and BCL binding to LOX resulted in static fluorescence quenching, and the complexes of JSD-LOX and BCL-LOX were built at a molar ratio of 1:1, respectively. The binding constants of LOX-JSD (72.18 × 105 L/mol at 298 K) and LOX-BCL (12.43 × 105 L/mol at 298 K) indicated that LOX had stronger binding affinity to JSD compared to BCL. Compared with BCL-LOX, the JSD-LOX system formed more hydrogen bonds which ensured a stronger bond between JSD and LOX. The studies in molecular dynamics also demonstrated that the JSD-LOX complex is more stable, and the addition of JSD is more conducive to the complex formation. The current study provides some new insights for the study on the inhibition of lipid oxidation and affords a new strategy for the discovery of novel food preservatives.

Abstract
The study focuses on the uptake, accumulation, and translocation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cereals, specifically exploring the role of peroxidase (UniProt accession: A0A3B5XXD0, abbreviation: PX1) and unidentified protein (UniProt accession: A0A3B6LUC6, abbreviation: UP1) in phenanthrene solubilization within wheat xylem sap. This research aims to clarify the interactions between these proteins and phenanthrene. Employing both in vitro and in vivo analyses, we evaluated the solubilization capabilities of recombinant transport proteins for phenanthrene and examined the relationship between protein expression and phenanthrene concentration. UP1 displayed greater transport efficiency, while PX1 excelled at lower concentrations. Elevated PX1 levels contributed to phenanthrene degradation, marginally diminishing its transport. Spectral analyses and molecular dynamics simulations validated the formation of stable protein-phenanthrene complexes. The study offers crucial insights into PAH-related health risks in crops by elucidating the mechanisms of PAH accumulation facilitated by transport proteins.

Abstract
Rhodanine is an important scaffold in medicinal chemistry and it act as potent anticancer agent and other pharmacological effects. In pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics studies of the drug, the drug binding properties on serum protein is crucial for producing better drug. This study was designed to explore the binding interactions between the Rhodanine derivative (P4OC) on Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The interactions between P4OC and BSA were investigated using biophysical approach and molecular docking. The quenching mechanism and binding constants of P4OC on BSA were determined by biophysical approach through fluorescence spectroscopic experiments. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy was used to study the secondary structural changes of BSA upon P4OC binding. The fluorescence experiments of P4OC binding on BSA show good drug binding with static quenching constants using stern Volmer plot and found the quenching constant value KP4OC = 1.12762 × 1013 M-1 with corresponding binding free energy (ΔG) -2.303 kcal/mol. The molecular displacement fluorescence emission on BSA-P4OC complex by site specific markers shows that P4OC binds at I A sub-domain of BSA further confirmed peak shift by synchronous fluorescence of P4OC on BSA with tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine amino acids. Increasing concentration of P4OC on BSA found secondary structural changes, the percentage of α-helix was decreased as well increase percentage of β-sheet and random coil. The binding of P4OC to BSA was computationally studied by molecular docking methods. Thus, results obtained are in excellent agreement with experimental and theoretical results with respect to the binding mechanism and binding constant of P4OC on BSA. We concluded that, the rhodanine derivative P4OC possesses good drug binding properties on BSA. Further P4OC may be evaluated its potential pharmacological activities on clinical trial.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

[PMID: 37111339 PMCID: PMC10141236 DOI: 10.3390/ph16040582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Combination of bovine serum albumin with microemulsions as constituting ingredient biopolymer has long been regarded an innovative method to address the surface functionalization and stability issues in the targeted payload deliveries, thereupon producing effectively modified microemulsions, which are superior in loading capacity, transitional and shelf-stability, as well as site-directed/site-preferred delivery, has become a favored option. The current study aimed to develop an efficient, suitable and functional microemulsion system encapsulating sesame oil (SO) as a model payload towards developing an efficient delivery platform. UV-VIS, FT-IR, and FE-SEM were used to characterize, and analyze the developed carrier. Physicochemical properties assessments of the microemulsion by dynamic light scattering size distributions, zeta-potential, and electron micrographic analyses were performed. The mechanical properties for rheological behavior were also studied. The HFF-2 cell line and hemolysis assays were conducted to ascertain the cell viability, and in vitro biocompatibility. The in vivo toxicity was determined based on a predicted median lethal dose (LD50) model, wherein the liver enzymes' functions were also tested to assess and confirm the predicted toxicity.

[PMID: 36753782 PMCID: PMC9893769 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2023.112667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) show good efficacy in the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 in the early stage, while they are no longer recommended due to their side effects. As an important drug delivery carrier, serum albumin (SA) is closely related to the efficacy of drugs. Here, the affinity behaviour of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine with two SA were investigated through the multispectral method of biochemistry and computer simulation. The results showed that the intrinsic emission of both SA was quenched by CQ and HCQ in a spontaneous exothermic entropy reduction static process, which relied mainly on hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The lower binding constants suggested weak binding between the two drugs and SA, which might lead to differences in efficacy and possibly even to varying side effects. Binding site recognition demonstrated that CQ preferred to bind to the two sites of both SA, while HCQ tended to bind to site I of SA. The results of conformational studies demonstrated that CQ and HCQ could affect the structure of both SA by slightly increasing the α-helix content of SA. Finally, we combine the results from experimental start with molecular simulations to suggest drug modifications to guide the design of drugs. This work has important implications for guiding drug design improvements to select CQ derivatives with fewer side effects for the treatment of COVID-19.

Abstract
Acid phosphatase (ACP) is a key enzyme that hydrolyzes inosinic acid. The mechanisms underlying the interaction between rosmarinic acid (RA) and ACP and the inhibition of the enzyme were investigated using inhibition kinetics, UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and molecular docking. The results showed that RA was a reversible inhibitor of ACP and that the inhibition mechanism was uncompetitive. The ACP fluorescence was quenched by RA, and the quenching mode was static. The interaction of ACP with RA was driven by H bonds and van der Waals forces. The addition of RA increased the α-helix content and decreased the β-sheet, β-turn, and random coil contents in ACP, thereby altering the secondary structure of the enzyme. This study enriched our understanding of inhibitory and interaction mechanisms involving ACP and RA.

Abstract
The issue of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in the water has received critical attention due to the health effects on humans. In the water environment, interactions between bovine serum albumins (BSA), the most abundant water-soluble protein, and DBPs unavoidably occur. In this study, comparative binding interactions of two aromatic DBPs - 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) and 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) with BSA were investigated systematically utilizing fluorescence spectrometry, UV absorption spectrometry, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular docking approach. The fluorescence quenching results indicated that TCP/TBP could quench the endogenous fluorescence of BSA through static quenching mechanisms, and TBP showed a more substantial quenching effect. The binding constants were determined for TCP-BSA (3.638 × 105 L/mol, 303 K) and TBP-BSA (6.394 × 105 L/mol, 303 K) complexes, with TBP showing higher binding affinity than TCP. The thermodynamic study and docking analysis suggested that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces were the primary interaction forces. Both of TCP and TBP were located in the subdomain IIIA of BSA, and TBP could form more stable complex than TCP. The results of the present study contributed valuable information on the environmental behaviors of halophenols in water environment from perspectives of binding with BSA.

Abstract
Myricitrin is a natural polyhydroxy flavonoid and is mainly derived from the bark and leaves of the Chinese Bayberry tree (Myrica rubra). It has different pharmacological activities, including antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antiviral, liver protection and cholagogue properties, and may be added to foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic products for antioxidant purposes. In this study, the interaction mechanism between myricitrin and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using spectroscopic methods, molecular docking techniques, and molecular dynamic simulations. We showed that the HSA/myricitrin interaction exhibited a static fluorescence quenching mechanism, and that binding processes were spontaneous in nature, with the main forces exemplified by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and electrostatic interactions. Fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectroscopy, micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (micro-FTIR), and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy showed that myricitrin binding altered the HSA conformation to some extent. Competitive binding and molecular docking studies showed that the preferred binding of myricitrin on HSA was in the sub-structural domain IIA (Site I); molecular dynamic simulations revealed that myricitrin interacted with HSA to produce a well stabilized complex, and it also generated a conformational change in HSA. The antioxidant capacity of the HSA-myricitrin complex was reduced when compared with free myricitrin. The identification of HSA-myricitrin binding mechanisms provides valuable insights for the application of myricitrin to the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
In order to improve the water solubility and stability of lutein, soy protein isolates (SPI) and their hydrolysates via pepsin (PSPI) and alcalase (ASPI) were used as nanocarriers for lutein to fabricate the lutein-loaded nanoparticles (LNPS) of SPI, PSPI, and ASPI. The encapsulation properties, light, and in vitro digestive stability of lutein in nanoparticles, and protein-lutein interactions were investigated. Compared with SPI-LNPS and ASPI-LNPS, PSPI-LNPS was characterized by uniform morphology (approximately 115 nm) with a lower polydispersity index (approximately 0.11) and higher lutein loading capacity (17.96 μg/mg protein). In addition, PSPI-LNPS presented the higher lutein retention rate after light exposure (85.05%) and simulated digestion (77.73%) than the unencapsulated lutein and SPI-LNPS. Fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that PSPI had stronger hydrophobic interaction with lutein than SPI, which positively correlated with their beneficial effects on the light and digestive stability of lutein. This study demonstrated that PSPI possessed significant potential for lutein delivery.

Abstract
Albumin is widely used in clinics due to its demonstrated biological safety and functional flexibility. Hydrogels derived from natural albumin possess high moisture retention ability and good biodegradability, making albumin ideal biomaterials compared with synthetic polymers. Herein, by reducing disulfide bonds in bovine serum albumin molecules with glutathione and re-oxidizing the free thiols using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as additional oxidant, three-dimensional network was assembled, leading to the formation of hydrogel. Meanwhile, DMSO is also an excellent solvent for many drugs, and the hydrophobic drug dihydromyricetin (DMY) can be well dissolved in DMSO. During the crosslinking reaction, DMSO participated in fabricating a porous albumin hydrogel network. At the same time, increased loading of DMY and sustained release of DMY were achieved, improving bioavailability of hydrophobic drug DMY. Rheological test and cytotoxicity assay proved excellent elasticity and biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Self-healing property and narrow-needle injection provided potential application of the hydrogel as biomedical materials. This method for formation hydrogels and in situ loading of drugs may expand to preparing other drug loaded hydrogels and find wide applications.

Abstract
Astilbin is a dihydroflavonol glycoside identified in many natural plants and functional food with promising biological activities which is used as an antioxidant in the pharmaceutical and food fields. This work investigated the interaction between astilbin and human serum albumin (HSA) and their effects on the antioxidant activity of astilbin by multi-spectroscopic and molecular modeling studies. The experimental results show that astilbin quenches the fluorescence emission of HSA through a static quenching mechanism. Astilbin and HSA prefer to bind at the Site Ⅰ position, which is mainly maintained by electrostatic force, hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Multi-spectroscopic and MD results indicate that the secondary structure of HSA could be changed because of the interaction of astilbin with HSA. DPPH radical scavenging assay shows that the presence of HSA reduces the antioxidant capacity of astilbin. The explication of astilbin–HSA binding mechanism will provide insights into clinical use and resource development of astilbin in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium dehydroacetate (DHA-S) is a common food additive, which can combine with serum proteins in the plasma, but the interaction mechanism between DHA-S and human serum albumin (HSA) is unclear. In this study, multiple spectroscopy techniques, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), molecular docking and esterase activity test were employed to investigate the interaction mechanism of DHA-S and HSA. RESULTS A DHA-S-HSA complex was formed and the structure of HSA were altered by DHA-S. Since DHA-S changed the tight structure of the hydrophobic subdomain IIA where tryptophan (Trp) was placed, the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment of HSA was enhanced. With the addition of DHA-S, the skeleton structure of HSA became loose and the solvent shell on the HSA surface was destroyed. DHA-S altered the secondary structure of HSA, resulting in the decreased α-helix and increased β-sheet contents. The interaction was exothermic and spontaneous driven by van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. DHA-S inhibited the esterase activity of HSA. Molecular docking demonstrated that the binding site of DHA-S on HSA located at the cavity of subdomains IIA and IIIA, but the amino acids related to esterase activity of HSA were not in the binding pocket, indicating that the mechanism by which DHA-S inhibited HSA esterase activity was the change in protein structure. CONCLUSION This study illustrated that DHA-S interacted with HSA and the structure and function of HSA were affected by DHA-S. This research could help to understand the toxicity of DHA-S and provide basic data for safe use of food additives. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Lutein is a natural fat-soluble carotenoid with various physiological functions. However, its poor water solubility and stability restrict its application in functional foods. The present study sought to analyze the stability and interaction mechanism of the complex glycosylated soy protein isolate (SPI) prepared using SPI and inulin-type fructans and lutein. The results showed that glycosylation reduced the fluorescence intensity and surface hydrophobicity of SPI but improved the emulsification process and solubility. Fluorescence intensity and ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorption spectroscopy results showed that the fluorescence quenching of the glycosylated soybean protein isolate by lutein was static. Through thermodynamic parameter analysis, it was found that lutein and glycosylated SPI were bound spontaneously through hydrophobic interaction, and the binding stoichiometry was 1:1. The X-ray diffraction analysis results showed that lutein existed in the glycosylated soybean protein isolate in an amorphous form. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis results revealed that lutein had no effect on the secondary structure of glycosylated soy protein isolate. Meanwhile, the combination of lutein and glycosylated SPI improved the water solubility of lutein and the stability of light and heat.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin (DAPA) is a selective sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor that reduces renal glucose reabsorption. The drug has recently become a crucial milestone in the management of diabetes and heart failure. In this study, the interaction of DAPA with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated for the first time using various fluorescence spectroscopic techniques, UV-absorption spectroscopy, molecular docking, and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The fluorescence spectroscopic titration study performed at different temperatures showed that DAPA quenched the fluorescence of BSA through a combination of dynamic and static mechanisms, which was confirmed by UV absorption, fluorescence-resonance energy transfer measurements, and MD simulation. The binding thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the binding stoichiometry between BSA and DAPA was 1:1. Competitive binding experiments using site-specific markers as well as molecular docking studies showed that DAPA binds to site I on BSA. The positive values of enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) revealed that hydrophobic forces played a predominant role in the binding of DAPA to BSA, whereas the negative value of Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) indicated the spontaneity of the interaction. Moreover, the synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy has shown that DAPA binding to the protein molecule occurs in the vicinity of the tryptophan residue. These findings were confirmed by the molecular docking and MD simulation studies.

Abstract
Hydrogels as ideal material are widely used in biomedical field against bacterial infection. Hydrogels synthesized from natural protein possess better biocompatibility than that synthesized from synthetic polymers. In this work, we designed bovine serum albumin (BSA) based hydrogel via double dynamic crosslinking. The cleavage and rearrangement of disulfide bonds of BSA triggered by glutathione (GSH) forms a disulfide bridge network, and tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS) grafts the amino groups of BSA by a Mannich-type reaction to form a second network. Integrating THPS into the BSA/GSH system enables gel formation and endows excellent antimicrobial properties. Rheological tests showed the hydrogel featuring elasticity, good mechanical strength and self-healing properties. Antibacterial and cytotoxicity tests proved the hydrogel excellent bacteriostatic ability and low cytotoxicity. This albumin-based hydrogel with low cost is expected to realize wide biomedical applications.

Food Chem Toxicol 2021; 155:112396.

Abstract
Calothrixin A (CLA), as a carbazole-1,4-quinone alkaloid with unique indolo [3,2-j] phenanthridine framework, is a natural metabolite from the Calothrix cyanobacteria. Since the interaction to the functional serum albumins may play an important role in estimating its potential physiological or toxicological effects in vivo, we here explored the binding information of CLA with human serum albumin (HSA) by multi-spectroscopic experiments and computational approaches. The molecular docking results showed that there was one binding site of CLA to the site I (subdomain IIA) of HSA, causing the spontaneous formation of the ground state complex of CLA-HSA through the integration of hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction, and electrostatic interaction. Moreover, CLA could effectively trigger the change of HSA's secondary structure because of an obvious decrease of α-helical content in HSA. Taking into consideration of the crucial role of HSA to transport extraneous functional small molecules in vivo, this study may provide a worthy theoretical basis to evaluate the in vivo toxicity of CLA, aiming to reduce/avoid the potential toxic side effects of CLA in the next hit-to-lead campaign.
