Unraveling the binding interactions between two Pt(II) complexes of aliphatic glycine derivatives with human serum albumin: A comprehensive computational and multi-spectral investigation.

[PMID: 38574913 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
This article delves into the interaction between HSA protein and synthesized platinum complexes, with formula: [Pt(Propyl-NH2)2(Propylglycine)]NO3 and [Pt(Tertpentyl-NH2)2(Tertpentylglycine)]NO3, through a range of methods, including spectroscopic (UV-visible, fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence and CD) analysis and computational modeling (molecular docking and MD simulation). The binding constants, the number of binding sites, and thermodynamic parameters were obtained at 25 to 37 °C. The study found that both complexes could bind with HSA (moderate affinity for Tertpentyl and strong affinity for Propyl derivatives) and occupied one binding site in HSA (validated with, Stern-Volmer, Job-plots, and molecular docking investigations) located in subdomain IIA. The binding mechanisms of both mentioned Pt(II) agents were different, with the Propyl derivative predominantly using van der Waals forces and hydrogen bond interactions with a static quenching mechanism and the Tertpentyl derivative mainly utilizing hydrophobic force with a dynamic quenching mechanism. However, the two ligands affected protein differently; the Tertpentyl complex did not significantly alter the protein structure upon binding, as evidenced by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS), CD spectroscopy, and MD analysis. The outcome helps in understanding the binding mechanisms and structural modifications induced by the ligands, which could aid in the innovation of more effective and stable Pt(II)-based drugs.

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
Caffeic acid is one of the widely distributed phenolic compounds in nature and can be found in planet products. On the other hand, trypsin is a vital digestive enzyme in the intestine that plays an essential role in the immune response, blood coagulation, apoptosis and protein maturation like protein digestion. Several studies have revealed the inhibitory effects of the phenolic compound on the digestive enzyme. The present study reports functional and conformational alteration of trypsin after caffeic acid addition using multiple experimental and computational techniques for the first time. The intrinsic fluorescence of trypsin is quenched in the presence of caffeic acid via a static mechanism. The percent of secondary structures (α-helix and β-sheet) of trypsin alter after caffeic acid addition. In the kinetic study, a reduction in the trypsin function is obtained with a lower Vmax and Kcat upon interaction with caffeic acid. The thermal study reveals an unstable structure of trypsin upon complex formation with this phenolic compound. Also, the binding sites and conformational changes of trypsin are elucidated through molecular docking and molecular dynamic simulation.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Reducing sugars causes confirmatory alterations in albumin structure by the nonenzymatic glycation of the amino group of serum albumin. In this study, glucose and its hazardous metabolic products like glyoxal and methylglyoxal were incubated with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The confirmational changes in BSA molecule's structure by glycating substances was investigated using a variety of spectroscopic methods, including deconvolutionFourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, UV spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Dynamic fluorescence quenching was observed in the case of glucose, while static quenching was observed in the case of methyl glyoxal and glyoxal. Similarly, employing deconvolution FT-IR spectroscopy and CD spectroscopy for determination of change in secondary structures in terms signature of α-helix, β-turn, β-sheet and random coil modifications. Destabilization or unfolding of the albumin structure, due to the disruption of the hydrogen bonding pattern that stabilizes the albumin manifold, causes a 25-50% reduction in α-helix and a 2-fold increase in β-sheet and turns in glycated BSA. The competitive displacement interaction studies with warfarin were performed using the ultrafiltration technique and quantitative determination of free drug in ultrafiltrate using LC-MS/MS. The binding of carbamazepine (CBZ) or its active metabolite to proteins was unaffected by the glycation of BSA with glucose and methyl glyoxal. Nevertheless, with glyoxal-modified BSA, it changed the binding of selected analytes significantly. Based on in vitro observations and results, it could be anticipated that the serum CBZ concentration variation may be worsened in uncontrolled diabetes circumstances, with an overall variance of 30-40% possible.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

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
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) bioaccumulate in the human body, presenting potential health risks and cellular toxicity. Their transport mechanisms and interactions with tissues and the circulatory system require further investigation. This study investigates the interaction mechanisms of six PFAS with Human Serum Albumin (HSA) using multi-spectroscopy, DFT and a molecular dynamics approach. Multi-spectral analysis shows that perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) has the best binding capabilities with HSA. The order of binding constants (298 K) is as follows: "Perfluorononanoic Acid (PFNA, 7.81 × 106 L·mol-1) > Perfluoro-2,5-dimethyl-3,6-dioxanonanoic Acid (HFPO-TA, 3.70 × 106 L·mol-1) > Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA, 2.27 × 105 L·mol-1) > Perfluoro-3,6,9-trioxadecanoic Acid (PFO3DA, 1.59 × 105 L·mol-1) > Perfluoroheptanoic Acid (PFHpA, 4.53 × 103 L·mol-1) > Dodecafluorosuberic Acid (DFSA, 1.52 × 103 L·mol-1)". Thermodynamic analysis suggests that PFNA and PFO3DA's interactions with HSA are exothermic, driven primarily by hydrogen bonds or van der Waals interactions. PFHpA, DFSA, PFOA, and HFPO-TA's interactions with HSA, on the other hand, are endothermic processes primarily driven by hydrophobic interactions. Competitive probe results show that the main HSA-PFAS binding site is in the HSA structure's subdomain IIA. These findings are also consistent with the findings of molecular docking. Molecular dynamics simulation (MD) analysis further shows that the lowest binding energy (-38.83 kcal/mol) is fund in the HSA-PFNA complex, indicating that PFNA binds more readily with HSA. Energy decomposition analysis also indicates that van der Waals and electrostatic interactions are the main forces for the HSA-PFAS complexes. Correlation analysis reveals that DFT quantum chemical descriptors related to electrostatic distribution and characteristics like ESP and ALIE are more representative in characterizing HSA-PFAS binding. This study sheds light on the interactions between HSA and PFAS. It guides health risk assessments and control strategies against PFAS, serving as a critical starting point for further public health research.

Abstract
The pervasive employment of pesticides such as rotenone on a global scale represents a substantial hazard to human health through direct exposure. Therefore, exploring the interactions between such compounds and body macromolecules such as proteins is crucial in comprehending the underlying mechanisms of their detrimental effects. The present study aims to delve into the molecular interaction between rotenone and lysozyme by employing spectroscopic techniques along with Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation in mimicked physiological conditions. The binding interaction resulted in a fluorescence quenching characterized by both dynamic and static mechanisms, with static quenching playing a prominent role in governing this phenomenon. The analysis of thermodynamic parameters indicated that hydrophobic interactions primarily governed the spontaneous bonding process. FT-IR and circular dichroism findings revealed structural alternations of lysozyme upon complexation with rotenone. Also, complexation with rotenone declined the biological activity of lysozyme, thus rotenone could be considered an enzyme inhibitor. Further, the binding interaction substantially decreased the thermal stability of lysozyme. Molecular docking studies showed the binding location and the key residues interacting with rotenone. The findings of the spectroscopic investigations were confirmed and accurately supported by MD simulation studies.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of different polysaccharides on the binding behavior and functional properties of soybean protein isolate (SPI)-quercetin (Que) complex. The binding behavior was assessed using multi-spectral technique with the Stern-Volmer equation, which confirmed the presence of static fluorescence quenching in Que and SPI. The addition of sodium alginate (SA) resulted in a reduction of the binding affinity between SPI and Que, while dextran (DX) exhibited some promoting effect. A slight blue shift was observed in amide I and amide II bands, indicating the presence of hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Circular dichroism spectra revealed the ordered structures transformed into a more disordered state when polysaccharides were added, leading to an increase in random coils (SA: 18.5 %, DX: 15.4 %). Docking and dynamic simulations demonstrated that SA displayed greater stability within the hydrophobic compartments of SPI than DX, increased rigidity and stability of the SPI structure in SPI-Que-SA complexes. Electrostatic forces played a significant role between SPI and SA, while van der Waals forces were the main driving forces in SPI-DX complexes. Overall, the introduction of SA led to a looser and stable structure of SPI-Que complexes, resulting in an improvement of their emulsifying, foaming, and antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Cellulases are enzymes that aid in the hydrolysis of cellulosic fibers and have a wide range of industrial uses. In the present in silico study, sequence alignment between cellulases from different Bacillus species revealed that most of the residues are conserved in those aligned enzymes. Three dimensional structures of cellulase enzymes from 23 different Bacillus species have been predicted and based on the alignment between the modeled structures, those enzymes have been categorized into 7 different groups according to the homology in their conformational folds. There are two structural contents in Gr-I cellulase namely β1-α2 and β3-α5 loops which varies greatly according to their static position. Molecular docking study between the B. albus cellulase and its various cellulosic substrates including xylanoglucan oligosaccharides revealed that residues viz. Phe154, Tyr258, Tyr282, Tyr285, and Tyr376 of B. albus cellulase are significantly involved in formation stacking interaction during enzyme-substrate binding. Residue interaction network and binding energy analysis for the B. albus cellulase with different cellulosic substrates depicted the strong affinity of XylGlc3 substrate with the receptor enzyme. Molecular interaction and molecular dynamics simulation studies exhibited structural stability of enzyme-substrate complexes which are greatly influenced by the presence of catalytic promiscuity in their substrate binding sites. Screening of B. albus in carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and xylan supplemented agar media revealed the capability of the bacterium in degrading both cellulose and xylan. Overall, the study demonstrated B. albus cellulase as an effective biocatalyst candidate with the potential role of catalytic promiscuity for possible applications in biofuel industries.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Investigating sulfonamides - Human serum albumin interactions: A comprehensive approach using multi-spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and molecular docking. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 683:149108.

Abstract
The environmental and health risks associated with sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) are receiving increasing attention. Through multi-spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT), and molecular docking, this study investigated the interaction features and mechanisms between six representative SAs and human serum albumin (HSA). Multi-spectroscopy analysis showed that the six SAs had significant binding capabilities with HSA. The order of binding constants at 298 K was as follows: sulfadoxine (SDX): 7.18 × 105 L mol-1 > sulfamethizole (SMT): 6.28 × 105 L mol-1 > sulfamerazine (SMR): 2.70 × 104 L mol-1 > sulfamonomethoxine (SMM): 2.54 × 104 L mol-1 > sulfamethazine (SMZ): 3.06 × 104 L mol-1 > sulfadimethoxine (SDM): 2.50 × 104 L mol-1. During the molecular docking process of the six SAs with HSA, the binding affinity range is from -7.4 kcal mol-1 to -8.6 kcal mol-1. Notably, the docking result of HSA-SDX reached the maximum of -8.6 kcal mol-1, indicating that SDX may possess the highest binding capacity to HSA. HSA-SDX binding, identified as a static quenching and exothermic process, is primarily driven by hydrogen bonds (H bonds) or van der Waals (vdW) interactions. The quenching processes of SMR/SMZ/SMM/SDX/SMT to HSA are a combination of dynamic and static quenching, indicating an endothermic reaction. Hydrophobic interactions are primarily accountable for SMR/SMZ/SMM/SDX/SMT and HSA binding. Competition binding results revealed that the primary HSA-SAs binding sites are in the subdomain IB of the HAS structure, consistent with the results of molecule docking. The correlation analysis based on DFT calculations revealed an inherent relationship between the structural chemical features of SAs and the binding performance of HSA-SAs. The dual descriptor (DD) and the electrophilic Fukui function were found to have a significant relationship (0.71 and -0.71, respectively) with the binding constants of HSA-SAs, predicting the binding performance of SAs and HSA. These insights have substantial scientific value for evaluating the environmental risks of SAs as well as understanding their impact on biological life activities.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the binding interaction of milk protein, beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), with an antibiotic against tuberculosis, rifampicin (RIF). BLG intrinsic fluorescence from tryptophan (Trp) amino acids was monitored to understand protein-drug interactions. Binding parameters and stoichiometry were estimated with the help of fluorescence spectral changes. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy was employed to exclusively monitor the Trp and Tyrosine (Tyr) environment in the presence of RIF. With the help of steady state fluorescence at different temperatures supported by time-resolved fluorescence, we confirmed that the protein forms a static complex with RIF. Thermodynamic parameters, ΔH and ΔS values, showed the involvement of hydrophobic forces between the RIF and BLG. Competitive displacement assay with ANS confirmed the BLG calyx as the binding site for RIF. Energy transfer mechanism from Trp to RIF was attributed to the fluorescence changes in protein upon complexation. The Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) was used to find distance, energy transfer efficiency and rate of energy transfer between donor (BLG) and acceptor (RIF). Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was utilized for estimating changes in the secondary structure of BLG induced by RIF. Molecular docking was used to visualise the binding location of RIF on BLG. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies showed a consistent binding interactions between BLG and RIF during the 100 ns simulation period and this well supported the increased beta sheet content in FTIR. Overall our results establish the potential of intrinsic fluorescence of BLG in combination with biophysical tools to rationalize drug-protein interactions.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Nanoplastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in soil environments. In order to objectively evaluate the toxic interaction between polystyrene nanoplastics (PS NPs) and benzo [a] pyrene (BaP), oxidative damage at the level of earthworm cells and biomacromolecules was investigated by experiments combined with molecular dynamics simulation. Studies on cells reveal that PS NPs and BaP had synergistic toxicity when it came to causing oxidative stress. Cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels under combined pollutant exposure were 24% and 19% higher, respectively than when PS NPs and BaP were exposed alone (compared to the blank group). In addition, BaP and PS NPs inhibited the ability of CAT to decompose H2O2 by affecting the structure of the proximal amino acid Tyr 357 in the active center of CAT, which exacerbated oxidative stress to a certain extent. Therefore, the synergistic toxic effect of BaP and PS NPs is due to the mutual complement of the two to the induction of protein structural looseness, and the strengthening of the stability of the conjugate (CAT-BaP-PS) under the weak interaction. This work provides a new perspective and approach on how to talk about the toxicity of combined pollutants.

Abstract
Spermidine is an aliphatic polyamine that directs a set of biological processes. This work aimed to use UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, thermal stability, kinetic methods, docking, and molecular dynamic simulations to examine the influence of spermidine trihydrochloride (SP) on the structure and function of pepsin. The results of the fluorescence emission spectra indicated that spermidine could quench pepsin's intrinsic emission in a static quenching process, resulting in the formation of the pepsin-spermidine complex. The results discovered that spermidine had a strong affinity to the pepsin structure because of its high binding constant. The obtained results from spectroscopy and molecular dynamic approaches showed the binding interaction between spermidine and pepsin, induced micro-environmental modifications around tryptophan residues that caused a change in the tertiary and secondary structure of the enzyme. FTIR analysis showed hypochromic effects in the spectra of amide I and II and redistribution of the helical structure. Moreover, the molecular dynamic (MD) and docking studies confirmed the experimental data. Both experimental and molecular dynamics simulation results clarified that electrostatic bond interactions were dominant forces.

Abstract
In this investigation, the effects of candidone on the structure and conformation of DNA were evaluated by spectroscopic methods, molecular dynamics simulation, and molecular docking studies. Fluorescence emission peaks, ultraviolet-visible spectra, and molecular docking exhibited the complex formation between candidone and DNA in a groove-binding mode. Fluorescence spectroscopy results also showed a static quenching mechanism of DNA in the presence of candidone. Moreover, thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that candidone spontaneously bound to DNA with a high binding affinity. The hydrophobic interactions were the dominant forces over the binding process. Based on the Fourier transform infrared data candidone tended to attach to the A-T base pairs of the minor grooves of DNA. The thermal denaturation and circular dichroism measurements displayed that candidone caused a slight change in the DNA structure, which was confirmed by the molecular dynamics simulation results. According to the obtained findings from the molecular dynamic simulation, the structural flexibility and dynamics of DNA were altered to a more extended structure.

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
The present research addressed the influence of polyamine (putrescine) on the compound as well as function of lysozyme; accordingly, UV- Visible, fluorescence spectroscopy and simulation method were applied to fulfill this goal. Lysozyme's structural variability was examined at various putrescine concentrations; also, the putrescine binding to lysozyme was addressed using spectrofluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and UV-Vis measurements. The obtained results indicated that with raising the putrescine concentration, the intrinsic quenching fluorescence of lysozyme was decreased based on the static mechanism. Analysis of thermodynamic parameters also indicated that van der Waals as well as hydrogen bond forces served a fundamental role in determining the resulting stability; this was in agreement with modeling studies. Measurement of UV absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism spectroscopy also demonstrated that lysozyme's second and tertiary structures were altered in a putrescine concentration-dependent manner. Putrescine inhibited lysozyme's enzymatic activity, displaying its affinity with the lysozyme's active site. Further, molecular simulation conducted revealed that putrescine could have spontaneous binding to lysozyme, changing its structure, thus further emphasizing the experimental results.

Abstract
The present study applied steady-state fluorescence, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, molecular docking studies, and circular dichroism (CD) to investigate the interaction of naringenin with lysozyme in an aqueous medium. The UV-Vis measurement indicated the changes in lysozyme secondary and tertiary structure change as a function of the concentration of naringenin. Naringenin could be used to turn the static quenching mechanism into the intrinsic fluorescence of lysozyme. The negative amount of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) suggested that the binding operation was spontaneous. Fluorescence studies also demonstrated the changes occurring in the Trp microenvironment upon the concatenation into lysozyme. Analysis of thermodynamic parameters also revealed that hydrophobic forces played a fundamental role in determining the complex stability; this was consistent with the previous modeling studies. Circular dichroism also suggested that the alpha-helicity of lysozyme was enhanced as ligand was bound. Naringenin inhibited lysozyme enzymatic activity, displaying its affinity with the lysozyme active site. Further, molecular docking studies demonstrated that naringenin could bind to both residues essential for catalytic activity in the proximity of Trp 62 and Trp 63.

Abstract
Forming a stable complex is a prerequisite for intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) probe to recognize proteins. Herein, a human serum albumin (HSA) structure-based fluorescent probe DNPM was fabricated successfully with fully considering its binding to the primary sites in HSA. Molecular simulation was used to assist the probe design. Two ICT ligands DNPM and MPM were initially designed. Both DNPM and MPM had favorable HSA binding abilities, but only DNPM had a satisfactory HSA sensitivity. Electromagnetic coupling played a key role in DNPM fluorescence enhancement. Due to the electromagnetic environment difference in protein structure, DNPM only exhibited strong sensitivity to serum albumins. DNPM could bind to Sudlow site I and site II in HSA but could not be displaced from its binding sites by common site specific drugs (e.g. phenylbutazone and ibuprofen). Besides, DNPM exhibited great potential for illumining serum albumin in living cells. The results provided a beneficial approach for designing and synthesizing high sensitive and selective fluorescent probes for proteins.

Abstract
Different groups of synthetic dyes might lead to environmental pollution. The binding affinity among hazardous materials with biomolecules necessitates a detailed understanding of their binding properties. Malachite Green might induce a change in the iron transfer by Apo-transferrin. Spectroscopic studies showed malachite green oxalate (MGO) could form the apo-transferrin-MGO complex and change the Accessible Surface Area (ASA) of the key amino acids for iron transfer. According to the ASA results the accessible surface area of Tyrosine, Aspartate, and Histidine of apo-transferrin significantly were changed, which can be considered as a convincing reason for changing the iron transfer. Moreover, based on the fluorescence data MGO could quench the fluorescence intensity of apo-transferrin in a static quenching mechanism. The experimental and Molecular Dynamic simulation results represented that the binding process led to micro environmental changes, around tryptophan residues and altered the tertiary structure of apo-transferrin. The Circular Dichroism (CD) spectra result represented a decrease in the amount of the α-Helix, as well as, increase in the β-sheet volumes of the apo-transferrin structure. Moreover, FTIR spectroscopy results showed a hypochromic shift in the peaks of amide I and II. Molecular docking and MD simulation confirmed all the computational findings.

Abstract
Urolithin A (UroA) is a first-in-class natural compound derived from the gut microbiota-derived metabolites of ellagitannins. This research for the first time evaluates the mechanisms of UroA inhibiting advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation by fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking, liquid chromatography (LC) and LC-Oribitrap tandem mass spectrometry. The results indicated that UroA exhibited a good suppression effect on the formation of AGEs in human serum albumin (HSA)-fructose and HSA-methylglyoxal (MGO) systems. Further mechanism analysis revealed that UroA alleviated AGE formation by changing the conformational structure of HSA, trapping reactive MGO to form mono-MGO-UroA complexes, promoting the exposure of chromophores to a more hydrophobic micro-environment, and forming stable UroA-HSA complexes. UroA bound with HSA in an equimolar manner, the binding was an exothermic spontaneous process, subdomain IIIA was the preferred binding pocket, and hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces were the major interaction forces. The number of glycation sites detected in glycated HSA was reduced by 1 and 2, respectively, when 181.82 and 363.64 μM UroA was added. These could provide an insight into the mechanism of UroA inhibiting HSA glycation, and highlight its value as a promising glycation inhibitor in the prevention of diabetic complications.
