Abstract
Molecular interaction of entecavir (ETV) with the transport protein, albumin from bovine serum (BSA) was explored through multispectral and molecular docking approaches. The BSA fluorescence was appreciably quenched upon ETV binding and the quenching nature was static. The ETV-BSA complexation and the static quenching process were further reiterated using UV-visible absorption spectra. The binding constant (Ka) values of the complex were found as 1.47 × 104-4.0 × 103 M-1, which depicting a modarate binding strength in the ETV-BSA complexation. The experimental outcomes verified that the stable complexation was primarily influenced by hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Synchronous and 3-D fluorescence spectral results demonstrated that ETV had significant impact on the hydrophobicity and polarity of the molecular environment near Tyr and Trp residues. Competitive site-markers displacement (with warfarin and ketoprofen) results discovered the suitable binding locus of ETV at site I in BSA. The molecular docking assessments also revealed that ETV formed hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with BSA, predominantly binding to site I (sub-domain IIA) of BSA.

Abstract
Polyphenols, polysaccharides, and proteins are essential nutrients and functional substances present in food, and when present together these components often interact with each other to influence their structure and function. Proteins and polysaccharides are also excellent carrier materials for polyphenols. In this context, this study investigated the non-covalent interactions between taxifolin (TAX), Lentinus edodes mycelia polysaccharide (LMP), and β-casein (β-CN). β-CN and LMP spontaneously formed nanocomplexes by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The quenching constant and binding constant were (1.94 ± 0.02) × 1013 L mol-1 s-1 and (3.22 ± 0.17) × 105 L mol-1 at 298 K, respectively. The altered conformation of β-CN, resulting from the binding to LMP, affected the interaction with TAX. LMP significantly enhanced the binding affinity of TAX and β-CN, but did not change the static quenching binding mode. The binding constant for β-CN-TAX was (3.96 ± 0.09) × 1013 L mol-1, and that for the interaction between TAX and β-CN-LMP was (32.06 ± 0.05) × 1013 L mol-1. In summary, β-CN-LMP nanocomplexes have great potential as a nanocarrier for polyphenols, and this study provides a theoretical foundation for the rational design of non-covalent complexes involving LMP and β-CN, both in binary and ternary configurations.

Abstract
Several biochemical reactions occur during the interaction of metal complexes and proteins due to conformational modifications in the structure of the protein, which provide fundamental knowledge of the effect, mechanism, and transport of many drugs throughout the body. Here, we report the synthesis, identification, and impact of the 3-dimensional Copper(II)sulfanilic acid coordination polymer (CP 1) on interactions with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The CP 1 was synthesized via a simple hot stirring method, and the single crystal XRD confirms the effective bonding interactions between metal and organic ligand, forming a crystalline polymeric chain and the topological study shows the sql type of underlying net topology. Powder XRD, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were also performed. Moreover, DFT/B3LYP calculations provide chemical precision for the resulting complex. Further, the changes that occur in the secondary structure of protein when CP 1 binds with BSA as well as its binding capacity were investigated via circular dichroism analysis and spectroscopic methods such as UV-absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy, respectively. The CP 1/BSA complex melting point was also measured, and its temperature-dependent heat denaturation was studied along with molecular docking.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In the present work, sulfide-doped carbon dots (S-CDs)/cadmium sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs) ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor has been developed for sensitive and selective determination of glibenclamide (GLC) in biological fluids. The method was based on the quenching effect of GLC on the dual-emission intensity of the S-CDs/CdS QDs system at 420 nm and 650 nm, which are related to S-CDs and CdS QDs, respectively. The fluorimetric data analysis indicated that the fluorescence signals of the system were quenched by adding GLC in a concentration-dependent manner. A good linear relationship was observed between GLC concentration and the quenched fluorescence intensity of the S-CDs/CdS QDs in the range of 0.3 nM-10.0 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) value was estimated to be 0.12 nM. Furthermore, under optimum conditions, GLC was detected in spiked human serum sample (as real media) using the developed ratiometric nanosensor with an accuracy of 99.6%. According to the results, the developed dual-emission system can be used as a reliable method for the quantitative detection of GLC in biological samples.

Abstract
Human exposure to plastic contaminated foods and environmental micro/nano plastic derived chemicals necessitates system-wide health risk assessment. Hence, current study intend to explore the mode of action (MoA) based adverse outcome pathways of 4-methyl-2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pent-1-ene (MBP), the major active metabolite of bisphenol A (BPA). The computational study employed broad range of target prediction, systems biology tools and molecular docking protocols. Further, validation of MBP targets was done using protein-ligand fluorescence quenching assay, endothelial cell culture and chicken embryo vascular angiogenesis models. Interestingly, the current results illustrate that various physiological signaling pathways (MAPK and VEGF related angiogenesis signaling) and disease progression pathways (hypertension, cancer and endocrine disorders) were enriched as potential targets of MBP. Further, docking studies highlights the possible binding mechanism of MBP with important targets including endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and serum albumin (BSA). In addition, the validation studies on MBP-BSA interaction (fluorescence quenching), eNOS derived nitric oxide (NOx) generation in endothelial cells and chicken embryo angiogenesis support the system-wide impacts of MBP with highlights on cardiovascular pathogenesis. Thus, the current observation provides novel insights into the system wide impacts of MBP for the futuristic health risk assessment of plastic derived chemicals.

Abstract
Tau, as a small protein in neurons, plays a main role in stabilizing and assembling the internal microtubules. Here, the effects of antiepileptic drugs, including lamotrigine (LTG) and phenobarbital (PHB), on tau protein structure have been investigated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), fluorescence spectroscopy along molecular modeling. Fluorescence data analysis revealed that both drugs quench the intrinsic emission intensity of tau protein via a static quenching mechanism. Analysis of SPR data at three different temperatures revealed that binding of LTG and PHB to tau protein leads to a decrease and increase in equilibrium constants (KD) values with increasing temperature, respectively. Therefore, the affinity of LTG decreases and PHB increases with increasing temperature. In addition, molecular docking studies indicated that both LTG and PHB bind to the S1 pocket of tau protein. Our data demonstrated the preventive effect of two important antiepileptic pharmaceuticals on the aggregation of tau protein. Given that any damage to the tau protein possibly leads to neurodegenerative diseases, this study can provide useful and important information and a basis for further research and study to treat tauopathy.

Abstract
Gout is an inflammatory joint disease caused by urate crystal deposition, which is associated with hyperuricemia. Gout will take place when the uric acid accumulates. Xanthine oxidase (XO) is a crucial enzyme in the formation of uric acid. Inhibiting XO is one of the means to ameliorate gout. Luteoloside is a kind of natural flavonoid, which has an excellent prospect for relieving gout. But there are few reports on the interaction mechanism between luteoloside and XO currently. In this study, the interaction mechanism between luteoloside and XO was explored using spectroscopy and molecular docking. The fluorescence spectroscopy results indicated that luteoloside could make the intrinsic fluorescence of XO quenched, and the binding constant between luteoloside and XO was (1.85 ± 0.22) × 103 L mol-1 at 298 K. The synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy results showed that the absorption peaks of Tyr and Trp shifted blue, and the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment increased. Moreover, CD spectra showed that α-helix of XO decreased, β-sheet and β-turn increased after adding luteoloside. The results of molecular docking analysis showed that XO could combine with luteoloside through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic force. The results indicated that luteoloside could remarkably interact with XO. Insights into the interaction mechanism provide a necessary basis for the search for low-toxic natural products as targets of XO. HIGHLIGHTS: Luteoloside and xanthine oxidase was a strong binding mode and had only one binding site. Luteoloside could cause α-helix reduced, β-sheet and β-turn increased, and change the secondary structure of XO. The binding between luteoloside and xanthine oxidase was a spontaneous process. The main binding force was hydrophobic force between luteoloside and xanthine oxidase.

Abstract
Metformin (MTF), an effective biguanide and oral antihyperglycemic agent, is utilized to control blood glucose levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus, and the determination of its concentration in biological fluids is one of the main issues in pharmacology and medicine. In this work, highly luminescent nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were modified using terbium (Tb3+)–1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) nanoparticles (NPs) to develop a dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensor for the determination of MTF in biological samples. The synthesized N-GQDs/Tb–Phen NPs were characterized using different techniques to confirm their physicochemical properties. The N-GQDs/Tb–Phen NPs showed two characteristic emission peaks at 450 nm and 630 nm by exciting at 340 nm that belong to N-GQDs and Tb–Phen NPs, respectively. The results indicated that the emission intensity of both N-GQDs and Tb–Phen NPs enhanced upon interaction with MTF in a concentration-dependent manner. Also, a good linear correlation between the enhanced fluorescence intensity of the system and MTF concentration was observed in the range of 1.0 nM–7.0 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) value obtained was 0.76 nM. In addition, the prepared probe was successfully used for the estimation of MTF concentration in spiked human serum samples. In conclusion, the reported dual-emission ratiometric fluorescent sensor can be used as a sensitive and simple fluorimetric method for the detection of MTF in real samples.

Abstract
Objectives Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cells cannot retain the radionuclide iodine 131 (131I) for treatment due to the inability to uptake iodine. This study investigated the feasibility of combining radionuclides with photothermal agents in the diagnosis and treatment of ATC. Methods 131I was labeled on human serum albumin (HSA) by the standard chloramine T method. 131I-HSA and indocyanine green (ICG) were non-covalently bound by a simple stirring to obtain 131I-HSA-ICG nanoparticles. Characterizations were performed in vitro. The cytotoxicity and imaging ability were investigated by cell/in vivo experiments. The radio-photothermal therapy efficacy of the nanoparticles was evaluated at the cellular and in vivo levels. Results The synthesized nanoparticles had a suitable size (25–45 nm) and objective biosafety. Under the irradiation of near-IR light, the photothermal conversion efficiency of the nanoparticles could reach 24.25%. In vivo fluorescence imaging and single-photon emission CT (SPECT)/CT imaging in small animals confirmed that I-HSA-ICG/131I-HSA-ICG nanoparticles could stay in tumor tissues for 4–6 days. Compared with other control groups, 131I-HSA-ICG nanoparticles had the most significant ablation effect on tumor cells under the irradiation of an 808-nm laser. Conclusions In summary, 131I-HSA-ICG nanoparticles could successfully perform dual-modality imaging and treatment of ATC, which provides a new direction for the future treatment of iodine-refractory thyroid cancer.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) shows the sequence homology and structural similarity with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Therefore, here, the interaction of natural phenolic antioxidants, ellagic acid (ELA), and its derivatives-urolithins A (ULA) and B (ULB)-with BSA was investigated. The results of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) indicated a high affinity of ELA, ULA, and ULB to BSA, with KD value < 1 × 10-6 M. The KD values of binding of the studied compounds to BSA increased with temperature, revealing a reduction in affinity with an increase in temperature. Fluorescence data showed that the quenching of BSA by tested compounds occurred via a static quenching. However, the affinity of ELA for BSA was higher than that of ULA and ULB, which may be because of the presence of a large number of hydroxyl groups in its structure. The assessment of the antioxidant activity of BSA and BSA-ELA/ULA/ULB complexes using the DPPH assay indicated that the DPPH scavenging activity of BSA increased after complex formation with ELA/ULA/ULB in the following order: BSA-ELA > BSA-ULA > BSA-ULB > BSA, which was due to their structural differences. The results of the docking analysis were in agreement with the experimental results.

Abstract
β-Casein, a highly amphiphilic calcium-sensitive phosphoprotein, has specific features that promote its application as a nanocarrier for hydrophobic bioactives. Luteolin is a flavonoid with rich biological activities existing in vegetables and fruits. It is important to understand the interaction of β-casein with luteolin for the development of β-casein-based delivery systems. Here, the interaction mode between luteolin and β-casein was investigated with multispectral techniques, computer simulation, and biological methods. The results demonstrated that luteolin could bind to β-casein spontaneously which is driven by hydrophobic interactions and statically quench the intrinsic fluorescence of β-casein. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation showed that β-casein formed a stable complex with luteolin. It could be concluded that luteolin was encapsulated in β-casein micelles and exhibited higher antioxidant activity than luteolin alone. These results would be helpful to understand the interaction mechanism of luteolin with β-casein and indicated that β-casein micelles were very promising as delivery vehicles for luteolin. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Adding bioactive compounds to food is an efficient method of functional food processing, and protein is an excellent natural carrier for these substances. β-Casein is a milk protein with a unique amphiphilic structure that makes it a natural nanocarrier for active ingredients. This study created β-casein nanocarriers and encapsulated luteolin based on the interaction mechanism between β-casein with luteolin. Luteolin encapsulated in β-casein micelles demonstrated higher antioxidant activity when compared to free luteolin. This research will provide useful data for the development of functional foods based on β-casein and luteolin in the food industry.

Abstract
Vildagliptin (VDG)is a frontier drug for diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed both in the monotherapy as well as in an amalgamation with other antidiabetic drugs. Drug-serum protein binding is an essential parameter which influences ADME properties of the drug. In current study, binding of VDG with serum protein (bovine serum albumin: BSA) was investigated using multi-spectroscopic techniques. A computational approach was also employed to identify the binding affinity of VDG with BSA at both Sudlow I and II sites. An enzyme activity assay specific for esterase was also investigated to know the post-binding consequences of VDG with BSA. Fluorescence spectra of BSA samples treated with VDG shows static quenching with binding parameters for VDG-BSA complex show single class of equivalent binding stoichiometry(n = 1.331) and binding constant 1.1 x 104M-1 at 298.15 K. The binding constant indicates important role of non-polar interactions in the binding process. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) analysis of VDG absorption spectra and emission spectrum of BSA confirmed no significant resonance in energy transfer. Synchronous fluorescence of BSA after binding with VDG show maximum changes in emission intensity at tryptophan (Trp) residues. Post binding with VDG, BSA conformation changes as suggested by circular dichorism (CD) spectra of BSA and this lead to enhanced protein stability as indicated by a thermal melting curve of BSA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
In this work, multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking methods have been conducted in the investigation of enantioselective interactions between diclazuril enantiomers and human/bovine serum albumins (HSA/BSA). The binding constants between serum albumins (SAs) and diclazuril enantiomers revealed that SAs exhibited stronger binding affinity for (R)-diclazuril than (S)-enantiomer. In addition, the fluorescence quenching of SAs induced by diclazuril enantiomers was ascribed to static quenching mechanism, in which hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces were the main interactions. According to the thermodynamic study, binding of diclazuril enantiomers and SAs was an exothermic process driven by enthalpy change. Then, circular dichroism spectroscopy of SAs with diclazuril enantiomers revealed that the SAs conformation had changed in the presence of diclazuril. Moreover, molecular docking technology was applied in exploration of interactions between SAs and diclazuril enantiomers. The docking energy between SAs and (R)-diclazuril was larger than (S)-diclazuril, which indicated that the affinity of SAs with (R)-diclazuril was stronger than (S)-enantiomer. This work may provide valuable information for explaining differences in pharmacokinetics and residue elimination of diclazuril enantiomers in living organisms.

Abstract
γ-oryzanol (ORY) is the vital bioactive compound, which is a mixture of ferulic acid ester and plant sterols. In the present work, the binding of ORY to human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated at the molecular level using fluorescence spectroscopy and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) as well as molecular modeling studies. Based on the fluorescence data analysis, ORY can form a non-fluorescent complex with HSA and induce static quenching of the emission intensity of HSA. Also, the high value of K SV (34.69 × 104 M-1) confirmed a high sensitivity of HSA toward ORY. The real-time monitoring of the binding of ORY to HSA was carried out using the SPR technique. The small K D value (1.23 × 10-6 M) calculated by SPR analysis indicated a high affinity of ORY toward HSA. The molecular modeling studies confirmed that ORY has only one binding site on HSA and binds HSA in a cavity between subdomain IIA and IIIA.

Abstract
7-Geranyloxycoumarin (auraptene; AUR), as a potent phytochemical, is the naturally abundant prenyloxycoumarin found in many genera of the Rutaceae family. As the interaction with serum albumins may play a crucial role in identifying their pharmacological properties, we investigated AUR binding profile with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by experimental and computational methods. Binding constant, binding site, mode of binding, and the BSA structural change upon AUR addition, were studied. UV-vis spectroscopy results and fluorescence quenching analysis proposed that AUR can form the ground state complex with BSA. Meantime, thermodynamic parameters (negative ΔH and ΔS values) revealed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play major role, as intermolecular forces, in the AUR-BSA complex formation. Synchronous fluorescence spectra and circular dichroism (CD) data showed that the secondary structure of BSA did not change significantly in the presence of AUR. Moreover, molecular docking results showed that AUR binds to the subdomain IIIB of BSA.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to broadly determine the biological activities of purple potato ethanolic extract of the Blue Congo variety (BCE). The antioxidant activity of BCE was determined in relation to liposome membranes, and peroxidation was induced by UVB and AAPH. To clarify the antioxidant activity of BCE, we investigated its interactions with hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of a membrane using fluorimetric and FTIR methods. Next, we investigated the cytotoxicity and pro-apoptotic activities of BCE in two human colon cancer cell lines (HT-29 and Caco-2) and in normal cells (IPEC-J2). In addition, the ability to inhibit enzymes that are involved in pro-inflammatory reactions was examined. Furthermore, BCE interactions with serum albumin and plasmid DNA were investigated using steady state fluorescence spectroscopy and a single molecule fluorescence technique (TCSPC-FCS). We proved that BCE effectively protects lipid membranes against the process of peroxidation and successfully inhibits the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. Furthermore, it interacts with the hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of lipid membranes as well as with albumin and plasmid DNA. It was observed that BCE is more cytotoxic against colon cancer cell lines than normal IPEC-J2 cells; it also induces apoptosis in cancer cell lines, but does not induce cell death in normal cells.

Abstract
Revealing the interaction mechanism between bovine lactoferrin (LF) and 20(S)-ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3), thereby introducing Rg3 to LF and even into stable emulsions will contribute significantly to food valorization and food industry. Adding Rg3 to LF caused slight absorbance increment and static fluorescence quench of LF, implying the successful combination. Synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy indicated the conformation changing of LF after binding with Rg3. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the binding happened spontaneously to form a LF-Rg3 complex with a molar ratio of 1:1, which was mainly driven by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals force. Molecular docking simulation provided extensive information about the optimized binding sites and the involved interactions. Finally, we prepared stable LF-Rg3 oil-in-water emulsion, showing great potential in foods and beverages. This work prepares all-natural functional ingredients, and also diversifies the effective food molecule-based delivery systems for LF and Rg3.

Abstract
In this work, a soluble biopolymer was prepared by conjugating the bovine serum albumin (BSA) with transition metal ion (Cu2+). BSA-Cu complex was synthesized and characterized using UV-vis absorption, fluorescence and ATR-FTIR spectroscopies. A colorimetric guaiacol oxidation based method, was used to study the catalytic activity of complex and the results indicated its laccase-like activity. Compared with laccase, BSA-Cu complex showed a higher Km value and a similar Vmax value at the same mass concentration. Also, the ability of the BSA-Cu complex to decolorize malachite green (MG) was tested and the results showed that the complex was able to complete the decolorization process of MG within 30 min. Using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) the resultant metabolites of MG degradation were analyzed and the toxicity of degradation products was assessed against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The results confirmed the formation of less toxic products after degradation of MG by BSA-Cu complex. To predict the decolorization efficiency (DE%) of MG, an artificial neural network (ANN) was designed with five, five and one neurons in the input, hidden and output layers, respectively. The obtained results showed the ability of the designed ANN to predict MG removal successfully.

Abstract
The binding interactions of bovine lactoferrin (BLF) with two flavonoids dihydromyricetin (DMY) and myricetin (MY) were investigated by the multi-spectroscopic, microscale thermophoresis (MST) techniques, molecular docking, and then their antioxidant activities were studied by detection of free radical scavenging activity against DPPH. Results of UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies showed that DMY/MY and BLF formed the ground state complex through the static quenching mechanism. Moreover, MY with more planar stereochemical structure had higher affinity for BLF than DMY with twisted stereochemical structure, according to the binding constant (Kb), free energy change (ΔG°), dissociation constant (Kd) and donor-acceptor distance (r). Thermodynamic parameters revealed that hydrogen bond and van der Waals force were major forces in the formation of BLF-DMY complex, while hydrophobic interactions played major roles in the formation of BLF-DMY complex. The circular dichroism (CD) study indicated that MY induced more conformational change in BLF than DMY. Furthermore, molecular modeling provided insights into the difference of binding interactions between BLF and two flavonoids. Finally, the radical scavenging activity assays indicated the presence of BLF delayed the decrease in antioxidant capacities of two flavonoids. These results were helpful to understand the binding mechanism and biological effects of non-covalent BLF-flavonoid interaction.

Abstract
Viruses remain a major challenge in the fierce fight against diseases. There have been many pandemics caused by various viruses throughout the world over the years. Recently, the global outbreak of COVID-19 has had a catastrophic impact on human health and the world economy. Antiviral drug treatment has become another essential means to overcome pandemics in addition to vaccine development. How to quickly find effective drugs that can control the development of a pandemic is a hot issue that still needs to be resolved in medical research today. To accelerate the development of drugs, it is necessary to target the key target proteins in the development of the pandemic, screen active molecules, and develop reliable methods for the identification and characterization of target proteins based on the active ingredients of drugs. This article discusses key target proteins and their biological mechanisms in the progression of COVID-19 and other major epidemics. We propose a model based on these foundations, which includes identifying potential core targets, screening potential active molecules of core targets, and verifying active molecules. This article summarizes the related innovative technologies and methods. We hope to provide a reference for the screening of drugs related to pandemics and the development of new drugs.

Abstract
In the present study the binding of diversin (DIV), a prenylated coumarin isolated from Ferula diversivittata, to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR), spectrofluorimetry, and molecular docking approaches. Following the activation of carboxylic groups, via NHS/EDC, BSA was immobilized on the carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) hydrogel coated Au sensor, and was used for real-time monitoring of the interactions between DIV and BSA. KD value of DIV binding to BSA increased with increasing temperature, confirmed that the affinity between BSA and DIV decreases with rising temperature. In addition, the fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic data revealed that the intrinsic emission intensity of BSA was quenched via a dynamic mechanism. In addition, the micro-region around BSA tyrosine residue was changed upon interaction with DIV. The thermodynamic parameter findings suggested that the hydrophobic interactions were dominant in the binding and formation of the BSA and DIV complex. The molecular docking outputs indicated that there is only one binding site on BSA for DIV, in agreement with experimental data, and DIV bind BSA in subdomain IB.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs), a new class of pollutants that seriously threaten human health through environmental and food residues, have aroused wide public concern. However, little attention has been paid to the potential toxicity of FQs' metal complex. Here, we firstly explore the proof-of-concept study of FQs' metal complex to bind bovine serum albumin (BSA) using systematical spectroscopic approaches. In detail, we have found that the complex of Al3+ with gatifloxacin (Al(III)-GFLX complex) can effectively bind to BSA via electrostatic interaction in PBS buffer (pH = 7.4, 1×), resulting in the formation of Al(III)-GFLX-BSA complex. The negative value of ΔG shows that the binding of Al(III)-GFLX complex to BSA is a spontaneous process. Circular dichroism spectra verify that Al(III)-GFLX complex effectively triggers the conformation changes of BSA's secondary structure. It has been proved that the interaction of small molecule with serum albumin has a significant effect on their in vivo biological effects such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and etc. Therefore, the results of this paper may offer a valuable theoretical basis for establishing safety standards of FQs' metal complex to ensure food and environmental health.
