Abstract
Adding polyphenols to improve the absorption of functional proteins has become a hot topic. Chlorogenic acid is a natural plant polyphenol with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Bovine lactoferrin is known for its immunomodulatory, anticancer, antibacterial, and iron-chelating properties. Therefore, the non-covalent binding of chlorogenic acid (CA) and bovine lactoferrin (BLF) with different concentrations under neutral conditions was studied. CA was grafted onto lactoferrin molecules by laccase catalysis, free radical grafting, and alkali treatment. The formation mechanism of non-covalent and covalent complexes of CA-BLF was analyzed by experimental test and theoretical prediction. Compared with the control BLF, the secondary structure of BLF in the non-covalent complex was rearranged and unfolded to provide more active sites, the tertiary structure of the covalent conjugate was changed, and the amino group of the protein participated in the covalent reaction. After adding CA, the covalent conjugates have better functional activity. These lactoferrin-polyphenol couplings can carry various bioactive compounds to create milk-based delivery systems for encapsulation.

Abstract
Tea, a widely consumed aromatic beverage, is often adulterated with dyes such as Bismarck brown Y (C.I. 21000) (BBY), Prussian blue, and Plumbago, which pose potential health risks. The objective of this study is to analyze how the food dye BBY interacts with serum protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). This study investigated the BBY-BSA interaction at the molecular level. Fluorescence spectroscopy results showed that the quenching of BSA by BBY is carried out by dynamic quenching mechanism. The displacement assay and molecular docking studies revealed that BBY binds at the flavanone binding site of BSA with hydrophobic interactions. Circular Dichroism results indicate the structural stability of the protein upon BBY binding. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated the stability of the complex in a dynamic solvent system, and quantum mechanics calculations showed slight conformational changes of the diaminophenyl ring due to increased hydrophobic interaction. The energetics of gas phase optimized and stable MD structures of BBY indicated similar values which further confirmed that the conformational changes were minor, and it also exhibited a moderate binding with BSA as shown by the MM/PBSA results. This study enhances our understanding of the molecular-level interactions between BBY and BSA, emphasizing the critical role of hydrophobic interactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myoglobin (MB), a pigmentation protein, can adversely affect the antibacterial activity of carvacrol (CAR) and weaken its bacteriostasis effect. This study aimed to clarify the influence of MB on the antibacterial activity of CAR and ascertain the mechanism involved in the observed influence, especially the interaction between the two compounds. RESULTS Microbiological analysis indicated that the presence of MB significantly suppressed the antibacterial activity of CAR against Listeria monocytogenes. Ultraviolet-visible spectrometry and fluorescence spectroscopic analysis confirmed the interaction between CAR and MB. The stoichiometric number was determined as ~0.7 via double logarithmic Stern-Volmer equation analysis, while thermodynamic analysis showed that the conjugation of the two compounds occurred as an exothermal reaction (ΔH° = -32.3 ± 11.4 kJ mol-1 and ΔS° = -75 J mol-1 K-1 ). Circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed hydrogen bonding in the carvacrol-myoglobin complex (CAR-MB). Molecular docking analysis confirmed that amino acid residues, including GLY80 and HIS82, were most likely to form hydrogen bonds with CAR, while hydrogen bonds represented the main driving force for CAR-MB formation. CONCLUSION CAR antibacterial activity was significantly inhibited by the presence of MB in the environment due to the notable reduction in the effective concentration of CAR caused by CAR-MB formation. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Apatinib mesylate (APM), an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has a good anti-tumor activity in the treatment of various cancers, particularly in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. In this study, the intermolecular binding mechanism between APM and human alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (HAG) was investigated by combining multi-spectroscopic approaches with in silico techniques. The findings revealed that APM gave rise to the fluorescence quenching of HAG by forming a ground-state complex between APM and HAG with a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1, and APM has a moderate affinity for HAG as the binding constant of APM and HAG of approximately 105 M-1, which was larger than the APM-HAG complex. The findings from thermodynamic parameter analysis indicated that the dominant driving forces for the formation of the APM-HAG complex were van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, which were also verified with site-probe studies and molecular docking. The findings from in silico study indicated that APM inserted into the opening of the hydrophobic cavity of HAG, leads to a slight conformational change in the HAG, which was verified by circular dichroism (CD) measurements, that was, the beta sheet level of HAG decreased. Additionally, the results of synchronous and 3D fluorescence spectroscopies confirmed the decline in hydrophobicity of the microenvironment around Trp and Tyr residues. Moreover, some common metal ions such as Cu2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, Ca2+, and Zn2+ could cause the alteration in the binding constant of APM with HAG, leading to the change in the efficacy of APM. It will be expected that these study findings are to provide useful information for further understanding pharmacokinetic and structural modifications of APM.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The majority of bioactive substances in the human diet come from polyphenols. Here, we use spectroscopy, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and in vitro digestion to look at the relationship between caffeine (CAF) and bovine lactoferrin (BLF). The correlation analysis of the CAF-BLF fluorescence quenching process revealed that the reaction was spontaneous and that the CAF-BLF fluorescence quenching process may have been static. The predominant intrinsic binding forces were hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, which were also supported by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Through Fourier infrared and circular dichroism spectroscopy experiments, it was found that CAF changed the secondary structure of BLF and might bind to the hydrophobic amino acids of BLF. Compared with BLF, CAF-BLF showed inhibitory effects on digestion in simulated in vitro digestion. It will be helpful to better understand the interaction between CAF and BLF and provide the basis for the development of innovative dairy products.

Abstract
Harmine and harmaline are two structurally similar heterocyclic β-carboline plant alkaloids with various therapeutic properties, having a slight structural difference in the C3=C4 double bond. In the present study, we have reported the nature of the interaction between hemoglobin (Hb) with harmine and harmaline by employing several multispectroscopic, calorimetric, and molecular docking approaches. Fluorescence spectroscopic studies have shown stronger interaction of harmine with Hb compared to that of almost structurally similar harmaline. Steady-state anisotropy experiments further show that the motional restriction of harmine in the presence of Hb is substantially higher than that of the harmaline-Hb complex. Circular dichroism (CD) study demonstrates no conformational change of Hb in the presence of both alkaloids, but CD study in 1-cm cuvette path length also demonstrates stronger affinity of harmine toward Hb compared to harmaline. From the thermal melting study, it has been found that both harmine and harmaline slightly affect the stability of Hb. From isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), we have found that the binding process is exothermic and enthalpy driven. Molecular docking studies indicated that both harmine and harmaline prefer identical binding sites in Hb. This study helps us to understand that slight structural differences in harmine and harmaline can alter the interaction properties significantly, and this key information may help in the drug discovery processes.

Abstract
DNA methylation as an important epigenetic marker, has gained attention for the significance of three oxidative modifications (hydroxymethyl-C (hmC), formyl-C (fC), and carboxyl-C (caC)). Mutations occurring in the methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) of MeCP2 result in Rett. However, uncertainties persist regarding DNA modification and MBD mutation-induced interaction changes. Here, molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind changes due to different modifications of DNA and MBD mutations. Alanine scanning combined with the interaction entropy method was employed to accurately evaluate the binding free energy. The results show that MBD has the strongest binding ability for mCDNA, followed by caC, hmC, and fCDNA, with the weakest binding ability observed for CDNA. Further analysis revealed that mC modification induces DNA bending, causing residues R91 and R162 closer to the DNA. This proximity enhances van der Waals and electrostatic interactions. Conversely, the caC/hmC and fC modifications lead to two loop regions (near K112 and K130) closer to DNA, respectively. Furthermore, DNA modifications promote the formation of stable hydrogen bond networks, however mutations in the MBD significantly reduce the binding free energy. This study provides detailed insight into the effects of DNA modifications and MBD mutations on binding ability. It emphasizes the necessity for research and development of targeted Rett compounds that induce conformational compatibility between MBD and DNA, enhancing the stability and strength of their interactions.

Abstract
Direct yellow 27 (DY-27) interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using multi-spectroscopic techniques to understand the toxicity mechanism. Fluorescence quenching of BSA by DY-27 was observed as a result of the formation of a BSA-DY27 complex with a binding constant of 1.19 × 105M-1and followed a static quenching mechanism with a quenching constant Ksvof 7.25 × 104M-1. The far UV circular dichroism spectra revealed the conformational changes in the secondary structure of BSA in the presence of DY-27. The calculated average lifetime of BSA is 6.04 ns and is nearly constant (5.99 ns) in the presence of dye and supports the proposed quenching mechanism. The change in free energy (ΔG) was calculated to be -28.96 kJ mol-1and confirmed the spontaneity of the binding process. Further, docking studies have been conducted to gain more insights into the interactions between DY-27 and serum albumin.

Abstract
Sumatriptan (SUM), a serotonin activator used to treat migraines and cluster headaches. Molecular spectroscopic methods including fluorescence quenching, time dependent fluorescence, FRET, absorption, circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetric and computational approaches were employed to unravel the interaction between sumatriptan and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The fluorescence quenching studies suggested the interaction between SUM and BSA with a moderate binding with the binding constant (Kb) in the order of 104. The findings of temperature and time dependent fluorescence quenching studies confirmed the role of static quenching mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters suggested the key role of electrostatic force in the interaction of SUM with BSA. Absorption and CD spectral studies revealed the bioenvironmental changes around the Trp in BSA upon binding of SUM. Calorimetric based thermal denaturation results confirmed that the thermal stability of BSA was improved in the presence of SUM. resulted in the this decreased flexibility of protein chain. Site competitive studies indicated SUM was located in the hydrophobic cavity of site I which was further confirmed by the docking and dynamic simulation studies. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations inferred the microenvironmental condition around the SUM and the amino acids and forces involved in the binding of SUM with BSA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Heat treatment is an important step in mayonnaise production but can affect the quality of mayonnaise because thermal treatment can accelerate oil droplet coalescence. To resolve this issue, in this study, enzymatically modified egg yolks were applied to produce mayonnaise. Egg yolk hydrolyzed with 0.2% neutral protease could effectively produce mayonnaise with superior heat stability, and this effect was attributed to enzymatic modifications that increased the degree of amino acid ionization, the overall hydrophilicity and the ability to adsorb proteins. Moreover, electrophoresis and FT-IR results showed that the enzymatically modified egg yolk proteins had a smaller molecular weight and more flexible structure, which could also favor the improved properties. The study elucidated why mayonnaise prepared by enzymatic modification-treated egg yolk has better thermal stability. Heat treatment is an important step in mayonnaise production but can affect the quality of mayonnaise because thermal treatment can accelerate oil droplet coalescence.![]()

Abstract
Synthetic food colorants are extensively used across the globe regardless of the fact that they induce deleterious side effects when used in higher amounts. In this work, a novel electrochemical sensor based on nickel nanoparticles doped lettuce-like Co3O4 anchored graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets was developed for effective detection of sulfonated azo dye sunset yellow widely used as a food colorant. Hydrothermal synthesis was adopted for the preparation of lettuce-like spinel Co3O4 nanoparticles and Ni-Co3O4 NPs/GO nanocomposite was prepared using ecofriendly and economical sonochemical method. The prepared ternary nanocomposite meticulously fabricated on a screen-printed carbon electrode exhibited remarkable electrocatalytic activity towards sunset yellow determination. This is apparent from the resultant well-defined and intense redox peak currents of Ni-Co3O4 NPs/GO nanocomposite modified electrode at very low potentials. The developed sunset yellow sensor exhibited a high sensitivity of 4.16 μA μM-1 cm-2 and a nanomolar detection limit of 0.9 nM in the linear range 0.125-108.5 μM. Furthermore, experiments were conducted to affirm excellent stability, reproducibility, repeatability, and selectivity of proposed sensor. The practicality of sunset yellow determination using the developed sensor was analyzed in different varieties of food samples including jelly, soft drink, ice cream, and candy resulting in recovery in the range of 96.16%-102.56%.
