Insight into the binding mechanisms of fluorinated 2-aminothiazole sulfonamide and human serum albumin: Spectroscopic and in silico approaches. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134048.

Abstract
4-Fluoro-N-(thiazol-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide (3) is a novel fluorinated compound, containing various biological activities. Therefore, absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence quenching, molecular docking, and molecular simulation were employed to investigate the interaction between 3 and human serum albumin (HSA). Firstly, compound 3 meets all criteria for drug-likeness prediction. UV absorption spectra revealed the interaction of 3 with HSA altered the microenvironment of protein, as well as circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis indicated slightly conformational changes and a reduction in α-helical content. The binding parameters of the HSA-3 complex suggested that fluorescence quenching is driven by combined static and dynamic processes. Additionally, the stability of the complex is attributed to conventional hydrogen and hydrophobic bonding interactions. Furthermore, esterase-like activity indicated that the binding of 3 might disrupt HSA's bond networks, leading to structural alterations. Consequently, the strong binding constant (Ka ≈ 1.204 × 106 M-1) aligns with the predicted unbound fraction (0.28) in serum, indicating that thiazole 3 has good bioavailability in plasma and can be effectively transported to target sites, thereby exerting its pharmaceutical effects. However, careful dosage management is essential to prevent potential adverse effects. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of 3 as a therapeutic agent, emphasizing the need for further research to optimize its uses.

Abstract
The cell wall is essential for bacteria to maintain structural rigidity and withstand external osmotic pressure. In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan. Lipid II is the basic unit for constructing highly cross-linked peptidoglycan scaffolds. Transglycosylase (TGase) is the initiating enzyme in peptidoglycan synthesis that catalyzes the ligation of lipid II moieties into repeating GlcNAc-MurNAc polysaccharides, followed by transpeptidation to generate cross-linked structures. In addition to the transglycosylases in the class-A penicillin-binding proteins (aPBPs), SEDS (shape, elongation, division and sporulation) proteins are also present in most bacteria and play vital roles in cell wall renewal, elongation, and division. In this review, we focus on the latest analytical methods including the use of radioactive labeling, gel electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, fluorescence labeling, probing undecaprenyl pyrophosphate, fluorescence anisotropy, ligand-binding-induced tryptophan fluorescence quenching, and surface plasmon resonance to evaluate TGase activity in cell wall formation. This review also covers the discovery of TGase inhibitors as potential antibacterial agents. We hope that this review will give readers a better understanding of the chemistry and basic research for the development of novel antibiotics.

Abstract
The robust structural nature of human serum albumin (HSA) is responsible for its multifarious functional property. The site specific glycation of HSA due to hyperglycaemia (excess glucose) causes structural changes which have an impact on the functioning of the protein. This work investigates the effects of glucose-mediated glycation in the altered inter-domain motion, distorted binding site conformation and modified hydration patterns, Trp214 orientation, and secondary structure transition using simulation approach. Here we have observed an increase of turns in the helices of glycated HSA, which modulates the open-close conformation of Sudlow I & II. The secondary structure changes of glycated HSA indicate plausible reduction in the alpha helical content in the helices which participates in ligand binding. It also affects geometrical features of drug binding sites (Sudlow I and II) such as volume and hydration. We found that glycation disturbs domain specific mobility patterns of HSA, a substantial feature for albumin drug binding ability which is also correlated with changes in the local environment of Trp214.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
