Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is effective inducer for lipid oxidation and protein-polyphenol interaction is a well-known phenomenon. The effects of the interaction of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) with Hb on lipid oxidation were rarely elucidated. The detailed interaction between bovine Hb and EGCG was systematically explored by experimental and theoretical approaches, to illustrate the molecular mechanisms by which EGCG influenced the redox states and stability of Hb. EGCG would bind to the central pocket of protein with one binding site to form Hb-EGCG complex. The binding constant for Hb-EGCG complex was 0.34 × 104 M-1 at 277 K, and thermodynamic parameters (ΔH > 0, ΔS > 0 and ΔG < 0) revealed the participation of hydrophobic forces in the binding process. The binding of EGCG would increase the compactness of protein molecule and diminish the crevice near the heme cavity, which was responsible for the reduction of met-Hb to oxy-Hb and inhibition of hemin release from met-Hb. Moreover, EGCG efficiently suppressed Hb-caused lipid oxidation in liposomes and cod muscles, which was possibly attributed to the reduction to oxy-Hb state and declined hemin dissociation from met-Hb. Altogether, our results provide significant insights into the binding of EGCG to redox-active Hb, which represents a novel mechanism for the anti-oxidant capacity of EGCG in human health and is favorable to the applications of natural EGCG in the good quality of Hb-containing products.

Abstract
Cyanidin, peonidin and cyanidin-3-galactoside are the common anthocyanins with a variety of biological activities. Tyrosinase is a speed-limiting enzyme associated with melanin production. The inhibition of tyrosinase activity can prevent melanin disease while contributing to whitening. The interaction behaviors of the three anthocyanins against tyrosinase have been discussed in this paper. Cyanidin has strongest inhibitory effect on tyrosinase, and then peonidin, cyanidin-3-galactoside. Furthermore, the inhibition of tyrosinase by the three anthocyanins is mixed modes. The three anthocyanins can induce the static fluorescence quenching of tyrosinase. Cyanidin exhibits strongest binding affinity on tyrosinase, and then peonidin, cyanidin-3-galactoside based on Ka values obtain by fluorescence analysis. The binding of all anthocyanin to tyrosinase induce its conformation changes. According to molecular docking and fluorescence studies, they bind to tyrosinase by hydrogen bond and van der Waals force. In addition, the optimal modes of the three anthocyanins with tyrosinase are predicated by molecular docking. This work emphasizes that cyanidin, peonidin and cyanidin-3-galactoside may be potential drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by melanin.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 321:117531. [PMID: 38042387 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117531] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Zedoary turmeric oil injection (ZTOI) extracted from the rhizome extract of Curcuma phaeocaulis Valeton, Curcuma wenyujin Y. H. Chen et C. Ling or Curcuma kwangsiensis S. G. Lee et C. F. Liang, is widely used for the treatment of virus-induced upper respiratory tract infections, peptic ulcers, viral pneumonia, etc. However, it has attracted widespread attention because it often causes adverse drug reactions (ADRs), including dyspnea. However, little is known about the mechanism underlying dyspnea caused by ZTOI, which limits its clinical application. AIM OF THE STUDY To investigate the major pathophysiologic signatures and underlying mechanism of ZTOI-related dyspnea. METHODS Respiratory function detection was used to explore the pathophysiologic signature of dyspnea induced by ZTOI. UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry were applied to test the interaction between ZTOI and hemoglobin (Hb). GC‒MS was used to identify the main components in ZTOI. Molecular docking, surface plasmon resonance, and circular dichroism spectroscopy were employed to test the reaction between β-elemene and Hb. Western blot was performed to investigate the effect of β-elemene on the hypoxia signaling pathway. RESULTS The results showed that ZTOI-induced dyspnea was related to a decreased oxygen carrying capacity of Hb. The molecular interaction between ZTOI and Hb was proven. Notably, β-elemene in ZTOI exhibited high binding affinity to Hb and altered its secondary structure. Furthermore, it was found that β-elemene downregulated the expression of prolyl hydroxylase-domain protein 2 and upregulated the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α. CONCLUSIONS Our study is valuable for better understanding the pathophysiological characteristics and underlying mechanism of ZTOI to ensure its safe clinical application. We also provided a strategy to elucidate the underlying mechanism based on inspiration from clinical ADR phenotypes for investigating other medical products with ADRs in the clinic.

Abstract
Understanding the intermolecular interactions between antibiotic drugs and hemoglobin is crucial in biological systems. The current study aimed to investigate the preparation of chitosan/polysorbate-80/tripolyphosphate (CS-PS/TPP) nanocomposite as a potential drug carrier for Ciprofloxacin-HCl drug (CFX), intended for controlled release formulation and further used to interact with bovine hemoglobin. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and X-ray diffraction analyses were used to characterize the CS-PS/TPP nanocomposite and its CFX-loaded nanocomposite. The second series of biophysical properties were performed on the Ciprofloxacin-loaded CS-PS/TPP (NCFX) for interaction with bovine hemoglobin (BHb). The interactions of (CFX and NCFX) with redox protein hemoglobin were investigated for the first time through a series of in vitro experimental techniques to provide comprehensive knowledge of the drug-protein binding interactions. Additionally, the effect of inclusion of PS-80 on the CFX-BHb interaction was also studied at different concentrations using fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and circular dichroism (CD) under physiological conditions. The binding process of CFX and NCFX was spontaneous, and the fluorescence of BHb was quenched due to the static mechanism formation of the (CFX/BHb) and (NCFX/BHb) complexes. Thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at various temperatures indicate that the hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces play a major role in the CFX-BHb association.

Abstract
Esculetin is a well-known coumarin derivative found abundantly in nature possessing an extensive array of pharmacological and therapeutic properties. Consequently, to comprehend its molecular recognition mechanism, our objective is to conduct a complete investigation of its interactions with the nucleic acid, specifically ct-DNA, and t-RNA, using spectroscopic and computational techniques. The intrinsic fluorescence of esculetin is quenched when it interacts with ct-DNA and t-RNA, and this occurs through a static quenching mechanism. The thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that the interaction is influenced by hydrogen bonding and weak van der Waals forces. CD and FT-IR results revealed no conformational changes in ct-DNA and t-RNA structure on binding with esculetin. Furthermore, competitive displacement assay with ethidium bromide, melting temperature, viscosity measurement, and potassium iodide quenching experiments, reflected that esculetin probably binds to the minor groove of ct-DNA. The molecular docking results provided further confirmation for the spectroscopic findings, including the binding location of esculetin and binding energies of esculetin complexes with ct-DNA and t-RNA. Molecular dynamics simulation studies demonstrated the conformational stability and flexibility of nucleic acids.

Abstract
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a representative of perfluorinated compounds in industrial and commercial products, has posed a great threat to animals and humans via environmental exposure and dietary consumption. Herein, we investigated the effects of PFOS binding on the redox state and stability of two hemoproteins (hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb)). Fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy demonstrated that PFOS could induce the conformational changes of proteins along with the exposure of heme cavity and generation of hemichrome, which resulted in the increased release of free hemin. After that, free hemin liberated from hemoproteins led to reactive oxygen species formation, lipid peroxidation, cell membrane damage and loss of cell viability in vascular endothelial cells, while neither Hb nor Mb did show cytotoxicity. Chemical inhibitors of ferroptosis effectively mitigated hemin-caused toxicity, identifying the hemin-dependent ferroptotic cell death mechanisms. These data demonstrated that PFOS posed a potential threat of toxicity through a mechanism which involved its binding to hemoproteins, decreased oxygen transporting capacity, and increased hemin release. Altogether, our findings elucidate the binding mechanisms of PFOS with two hemoproteins, as well as possible risks on vascular endothelial cells, which would have important implications for the human and environmental toxicity of PFOS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is caused by Leishmania donovani. The purine and pyrimidine pathways are essential for L. donovani. Simultaneously inhibiting multiple targets could be an effective strategy to eliminate the pathogen and treat VL. OBJECTIVE We aimed to target the essential enzymes of L. donovani and inhibit them using a multi-target approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic analytical method was followed, in which first reported inhibitors of two essential enzymes (adenine phosphoribosyl-transferase [APRT] and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase [DHODH]) were collected and then ADMET and PASS analyses were conducted using the Lipinski rule and Veber's rule. Additionally, molecular docking between screened ligands and proteins were performed. The stability of complexes was analyzed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and MMPBSA analysis. RESULTS Initially, 6,220 unique molecules were collected from the PubChem database, and then the Lipinski rule and Veber's rule were used for screening. In total, 203 compounds passed the ADMET test; their antileishmanial properties were tested by PASS analysis. As a result, 15 ligands were identified. Molecular docking simulations between APRT or DHODH and these 15 ligands were performed. Four molecules were found to be plant-derived compounds. Lig_2 and Lig_3 had good docking scores with both proteins. MD simulations were performed to determine the dynamic behavior and binding patterns of complexes. Both MD simulations and MMPBSA analysis showed Lig_3 is a promising antileishmanial inhibitor of both targets. CONCLUSION Promising plant-derived compounds that might be used to combat VL were obtained through a multi-target approach.

Abstract
In this paper, we performed thorough experimental and theoretical calculations to examine the interaction between Pt derivative, as an anticancer, and ct-DNA. The mode of DNA binding with [Pt(NH3)2(Isopentylgly)]NO3, where Isopentylgly is Isopentyl glycine, was evaluated by various spectroscopic methods, docking, and molecular dynamics simulation studies. UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopic titration results and CD spectra of DNA-drug showed this interaction is via groove binding. Also, thermal stability studies or DNA melting temperature changes (ΔTm), as well as the quenching emissions monitoring proved it. Also, the thermodynamic parameter and binding constant displayed that complex-DNA formation is a spontaneous process, and H-binding and also groove binding were found to be the main forces. Theoretical studies stated [Pt(NH3)2(Isopentylgly)]NO3-DNA formation occurs on C-G center on DNA, along with rising DNA-compound stability. IC50 value against the human breast cell line probably is due to the Isopentyl glycine ligand in the structure of the Pt compound, and it was obtained more than cisplatin and less than carboplatin against the MCF7 cell.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Proteins are vital constituents of all living organisms. As many therapeutic agents alter the activity of functional proteins, identifying functional target proteins of small bioactive molecules isessential for the rational design of stronger medicines. Flavonoids with antioxidant, anti-allergy, and anti-inflammatory effects are expected to have preventive effects for several diseases closely related to oxidation and inflammation, including heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and eye diseases. Therefore, identifying the proteins involved in the pharmacological actions of flavonoids, and designing a flavonoid structure-based medicine that strongly and specifically inhibits flavonoid target proteins, could aid the development of more effective medicines for treating heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and ocular diseases with few side effects. To isolate the flavonoid target protein, we conducted a novel affinity chromatography in a column wherein baicalin, a representative flavonoid, was attached to Affi-Gel 102. Through affinity chromatography and nano LC-MS/MS, we identified GAPDH as a flavonoid target protein. Then, we performed fluorescence quenching and an enzyme inhibition assay to experimentally confirmbaicalin's binding affinity for, and inhibition of, GAPDH. We also conducted in silico docking simulations to visualize the binding modes of baicalin and the newly identified flavonoid target protein, GAPDH. From the results of this study, it was considered that one of the reasons why baicalin exhibits the effects on cancer and neurodegenerative diseases is that it inhibits the activity of GAPDH. In summary, we showed that Affi-Gel102 could quickly and accurately isolate the target protein for bioactive small molecules, without the need for isotopic labeling or a fluorescent probe. By using the method presented here, it was possible to easily isolate the target protein of a medicine containing a carboxylic acid.

Abstract
Flavonoids play diverse roles in plants, comprise a non-negligible fraction of net primary photosynthetic production, and impart beneficial effects in human health from a plant-based diet. Absorption spectroscopy is an essential tool for quantitation of flavonoids isolated from complex plant extracts. The absorption spectra of flavonoids typically consist of two major bands, band I (300-380 nm) and band II (240-295 nm), where the former engenders a yellow color; in some flavonoids the absorption tails to 400-450 nm. The absorption spectra of 177 flavonoids and analogues of natural or synthetic origin have been assembled, including molar absorption coefficients (109 from the literature, 68 measured here). The spectral data are in digital form and can be viewed and accessed at http://www.photochemcad.com. The database enables comparison of the absorption spectral features of 12 distinct types of flavonoids including flavan-3-ols (e.g., catechin, epigallocatechin), flavanones (e.g., hesperidin, naringin), 3-hydroxyflavanones (e.g., taxifolin, silybin), isoflavones (e.g., daidzein, genistein), flavones (e.g., diosmin, luteolin), and flavonols (e.g., fisetin, myricetin). The structural features that give rise to shifts in wavelength and intensity are delineated. The availability of digital absorption spectra for diverse flavonoids facilitates analysis and quantitation of these valuable plant secondary metabolites. Four examples are provided of calculations─multicomponent analysis, solar ultraviolet photoprotection, sun protection factor (SPF), and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)─for which the spectra and accompanying molar absorption coefficients are sine qua non.

Abstract
The interaction of flavonoid glycosides with milk protein and effects on the functional properties of flavonoid glycoside-β-lactoglobulin complexes are still inexplicit. The noncovalent interactions between flavonoid glycosides including quercetin (QE), quercitrin (QI), and rutin (RU) with β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) were determined by computer molecular docking and multispectral technique analysis. The fluorescence quenching results indicated that the flavonoid glycosides formed stable complexes with β-LG by the static quenching mechanism. The computer molecular docking and thermodynamic parameters analysis conclude that the main interaction of β-LG-QE was via hydrogen bonding, while for β-LG-QI and β-LG-RU it is via hydrophobic forces. The order of binding affinity to β-LG was QE (37.76 × 104 L mol-1) > RU (16.80 × 104 L mol-1) > QI (11.17 × 104 L mol-1), which indicated that glycosylation adversely affected the colloidal complex binding capacity. In this study, the physicochemical properties of the protein-flavonoid colloidal complex were determined. The analysis by circular dichroism spectroscopy demonstrated that flavonoid glycosides made the protein structure looser by inducing the secondary structure of β-LG to transform from the α-helix and β-sheet to random coils. The hydrophobicity of β-LG decreased due to binding with flavonoid glycosides, while functional properties including foaming, emulsification, and antioxidant capacities of β-LG were improved due to the noncovalent interactions. This study presents a part of the insight and guidance on the interactive mechanism of flavonoid glycosides and proteins and is helpful for developing functional protein-based foods.

Abstract
Multispectroscopic and computational methods of exploring the interaction between a carrier protein and therapeutic compounds provide a preliminary investigation into establishing the efficacy of such compounds. Here, two coumarin derivatives, 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) and 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin (4-Me-7-HC), were selected to carry out numerous biophysical interaction studies with a model carrier protein, hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL). Fluorescence spectroscopy studies conducted between HEWL and 7-HC/4-Me-7-HC revealed the binding constants (Kb) were in the range of 104 M-1, indicating a moderate nature of binding. The quenching mechanism observed during complexation process was an unusual static quenching due to the effect of temperature on the rate constant. Thermodynamic parameters revealed a positive ΔH and ΔS for HEWL-7-HC/4-Me-7-HC, indicating hydrophobic forces played a dominant role in the interaction process. FRET studies suggested a possible non-radiative energy transfer from the donor (HEWL) to the acceptor (coumarins). Molecular docking studies revealed the interaction of 7-HC/4-Me-7-HC with intrinsic fluorophores, Trp63 and Trp108, Trp108 being an essential residue for binding as proven by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. MD simulation studies also indicated conformational stability gained by HEWL upon interaction with 7-HC and 4-Me-7-HC. The microenvironment surrounding the Trp residues showed a significant Stoke's shift on carrying out 3-D fluorescence. CD studies revealed a decrease in the alpha helical content of HEWL upon interacting with the ligands. Enzymatic assay conducted for HEWL in the presence of 7-HC/4-Me-7-HC saw an increase in the activity of HEWL, suggesting a change in structural conformation and stability of the protein, altering its activity.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA), the major component of egg white, has been used as a model carrier protein to study the interaction of four bioactive phytochemicals 6-hydroxyflavone, chrysin, naringin, and naringenin. A static quenching mechanism was primarily associated with the complexation of the flavonoids with OVA. Hydrophobic forces play a major part in the stability of the complexes. The structural changes within the protein in response to flavonoid binding revealed a decrease in OVA's α-helical content. The hypothesized binding site for flavonoids in OVA overlaps with one or more immunoglobulin E-binding epitopes that may have some effect in the immunoglobulin E response pathway. The flavonoids remain in the same binding site throughout the simulation time and impart protein stability by forming different noncovalent interactions. This study presents comprehensive information about the interaction of the flavonoids with OVA and the associated structural variations after the binding, which might help researchers better comprehend similar medication pharmacodynamics and provide critical information for future therapeutic development.

Abstract
The interactions between quercetin and bovine (or human) hemoglobin (Hb) were systematically investigated by fluorescence, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, and molecular docking to demonstrate the structural mechanism by which quercetin affected the Hb redox state and stability. Quercetin could interact with the central cavity of the Hb molecule with one binding site to generate an Hb-quercetin complex, and the hydrophobic interaction played an important role in the formation of the complex. The binding constant for the Hb-quercetin complex at 298 K was observed to be 1.25 × 104 M-1. In addition, quercetin effectively inhibited Hb-induced lipid oxidation in liposomes or washed muscles, which was ascribed to the conversion to oxy-Hb and decreased hemin dissociation from met-Hb. Consistent with its lower abilities to bind Hb and scavenge free radicals, rutin (i.e., quercetin-3-rhamnosylglucsoside) did not significantly influence the redox state of Hb nor reduce hemin release from Hb, and subsequently, it less effectively inhibited Hb-induced lipid oxidation than quercetin. Altogether, the results herein provide novel insights into the antioxidant mechanism for quercetin and are beneficial to the application of natural quercetin in Hb-containing foods.

Abstract
The denaturation of proteins (particularly myosin) due to freezing can lead to the deterioration of Penaeus vannamei. The purpose of this study was to verify the antifreeze protective effects of polyphenols screened by a molecular docking technique, and to explore their interactions with myosin after freezing treatment. It was found that the screened polyphenols could significantly increase the freezing rate and unfreezable water content of shrimp paste. The results of fluorescence spectra indicated that the hesperetin to myosin quenching process included both dynamic and static quenching, and it was primarily bound to myosin through hydrophobic interactions; The quenching of myosin by both dihydroquercetin and mangiferin was static quenching, and they were bound to myosin mainly by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces; All three of these polyphenols had only one binding site on myosin. Surface hydrophobicity indicated that all four polyphenols were engaged in non-covalent binding (hydrophobic interactions) with myosin. Infrared spectra demonstrated that the addition of these four polyphenols significantly increased the α-helix content of myosin. They also reduced the myosin particle size, zeta potential, and protein degeneration degree. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the four polyphenols reduced the degree of aggregation, while more uniformly distributing the myosin particles. These observations provide a basis for the screening of polyphenols and further research into the protective mechanism of polyphenols on frozen myosin.

Abstract
Anthocyanins, which are the labile flavonoid pigments widely distributed in many fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, and flowers, are receiving intensive interest for their potential health benefits. Proteins are important food components from abundant sources and present high binding affinity for small dietary compounds, e.g., anthocyanins. Protein-anthocyanin interactions might occur during food processing, ingestion, digestion, and bioutilization, leading to significant changes in the structure and properties of proteins and anthocyanins. Current knowledge of protein-anthocyanin interactions and their contributions to functions and bioactivities of anthocyanin-containing foods were reviewed. Binding characterization of dietary protein-anthocyanins complexes is outlined. Advances in understanding the structure-affinity relationship of dietary protein-anthocyanin interaction are critically discussed. The associated properties of protein-anthocyanin complexes are considered in an evaluation of functional and nutritional values.

Abstract
Microcystins (MCs) exhibit diversified inhibition effects on protein phosphatases (PPs) due to their structural differences. To fully evaluate the potential mechanism for the discrepant inhibition effects, the five most frequent MCs with varying residues at position Z4 were selected as the tested toxins. Their inhibition sequence on PP2A was detected as follows: MCLR > MCLW > MCLA > MCLF > MCLY. Combined with homology modeling and molecular docking technology, the major interaction parameters between the MCs and PP2A were obtained. The correlation analysis for the major interaction parameters and inhibition effects showed that the hydrophobicity of Z4 had an important influence on the interaction of the MCs to PP2A. The introduction of hydrophobic Z4 directly weakened hydrogen bonds Z4→Pro213 and Z4←Arg214, indirectly weakened hydrogen bonds Adda5←Asn117, Glu6←Arg89, and MeAsp3←Arg89, but indirectly enhanced ionic bonds Glu6←Arg89, Glu6-Mn12+, and Glu6-Mn22+. In this way, the combination of the MCs with PP2A was blocked, and thus, the interactions between PP2A and the Mn2+ ions (in the catalytic center) were further affected; metal bonds Asp85-Mn12+ and Asp85-Mn22+ were weakened, while metal bond His241-Mn12+ was enhanced. As a result, the interactions in the catalytic center were inhibited to varying degrees, resulting in the reduced toxicity of MCs.

Abstract
Quercetin is a flavonoid present in the human diet with multiple health benefits. Quercetin solutions are inhomogeneous even at very low concentrations due to quercetin's tendency to aggregate. We simulate, using molecular dynamics, three systems of quercetin solutions: infinite dilution, 0.22 M, and 0.46 M. The systems at the two highest concentrations represent regions of the quercetin aggregates, in which the concentration of this molecule is unusually high. We study the behavior of this molecule, its aggregates, and the modifications in the surrounding water. In the first three successive layers of quercetin hydration, the density of water and the hydrogen bonds formations between water molecules are smaller than that of bulk. Quercetin has a hydrophilic surface region that preferentially establishes donor hydrogen bonds with water molecules with relative frequencies from 0.12 to 0.46 at infinite dilution. Also, it has two hydrophobic regions above and below the planes of its rings, whose first hydration layers are further out from quercetin (≈0.3 Å) and their water molecules do not establish hydrogen bonds with it. Water density around the hydrophobic regions is smaller than that of the hydrophilic. Quercetin molecules aggregate inπ-stacking configurations, with a distance of ≈0.37 nm between the planes of their rings, and form bonds between their hydroxyl groups. The formation of quercetin aggregates decreases the hydrogen bonds between quercetin and the surrounding water and produces a subdiffusive behavior in water molecules. Quercetin has a subdiffusive behavior even at infinite dilution, which increases with the number of molecules within the aggregates and the time they remain within them.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of the heme protein, hemoglobin (Hb) interaction with sulfa molecule, sulfadiazine (SDZ) has been investigated through spectroscopic, neutron scattering and molecular modeling techniques. Absorption and emission spectroscopic studies showed that SDZ molecules were bound to Hb protein, non-cooperatively. The binding affinityof SDZ-Hb complex at standard experimental condition was evaluated to be around (4.2 ± 0.07) ×104, M-1with 1:1 stoichiometry. Drug induced structural perturbation of the 3 D protein moiety was confirmed through circular dichroism (CD), synchronous fluorescence and small angle neutron scattering methods. From the temperature dependent spectrofluorometric studies, the negative standard molar Gibbs energy change suggested the spontaneity of the reaction. The negative enthalpy and positive entropy change(s) indicated towards the involvement of both electrostatic and hydrophobic forces during the association process. Salt dependent fluorescence study revealed major contributions from non-poly-electrolytic forces. Molecular modeling studies determined the probable binding sites, types of interaction involved and the conformational alteration of the compactness of the Hb structure upon interaction with SDZ molecule. Overall, the study provides detailed insights into the binding mechanism of SDZ antibiotics to Hb protein.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Trimethylamine-N-oxide demethylase (TMAOase) is a key enzyme for the decomposition of trimethylamine oxide into formaldehyde. The study investigated the inhibitory effects of (+)-catechin on TMAOase and involved mechanism to minimize the formaldehyde (FA) content of seafood during storage. TMAOase was purified by DEAE-52 cellulose and Sephacryl S-300 chromatography and the inhibitory mechanism of TMAOase was studied by Lineweaver-Burk plots, fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism. Specific activity of 37 ± 0.7 U/mg was obtained with 205 -fold purification and 15% yield, and molecular mass was 25 kDa. (+)-Catechin was a reversible inhibitor of TMAOase and its induced mechanism was the non-competitive inhibition type. (+)-Catechin binding to TMAOase formed a complex with the binding constant (Ksv) of 0.72 × 103 at 298 K. The formation of complex induced the static fluorescence quenching and changes in the conformation of TMAOase, leading to a reduction in the rate of catalysis.

[PMID: 35297173 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Synthesis of low dimensional quantum dots (QDs) (1-10 nm) via green route has garnered great interest having the prospective use in many biological applications (diagnosis, drug delivery and in vivo sensing), which is difficult to achieve by chemical synthesize methods having larger QDs particles or hazardous reagents required for synthesizing of QDs. Here, we have synthesized biogenic cadmium sulphide (CdS) QDs using green tea extract as reducing agents that were homogeneous and smaller size particles 2-4 nm. We also elucidate the (a) protein binding, (b) antibacterial and (c) sensing applications of biogenic CdS QDs in this present work. The biosynthesized CdS QDs were found to have extensive antibacterial activity against both gram-negative E. coli and gram-positive E. faecalis bacterial strains. Since the introduction of QDs in biological media, they can form protein-QDs complex; hence we investigate the binding interaction of CdS QDs with the carrier protein human serum albumin (HSA) in vitro. The synthesized CdS QDs quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through static quenching mechanism and binding constant (Kb ) was found in order of 104 M-1 . It was also observed that presence of biogenic CdS QDs affects the HSA-ligand interactions in vitro. The synthesized CdS showed highly effective sensors for tetracycline, rifampicin and bilirubin with LOD values of 99, 141 and 29 ng/mL respectively.

Abstract
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread throughout the globe, affecting millions of people. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared this infectious disease a pandemic. At present, several clinical trials are going on to identify possible drugs for treating this infection. SARS-CoV-2 Mpro is one of the most critical drug targets for the blockage of viral replication. The aim of this study was to identify potential natural anthraquinones that could bind to the active site of SARS-CoV-2 main protease and stop the viral replication. Blind molecular docking studies of 13 anthraquinones and one control drug (Boceprevir) with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro were carried out using the SwissDOCK server, and alterporriol-Q that showed the highest binding affinity towards Mpro were subjected to molecular dynamics simulation studies. This study indicated that several antiviral anthraquinones could prove to be effective inhibitors for SARS-CoV-2 Mpro of COVID-19 as they bind near the active site having the catalytic dyad, HIS41 and CYS145 through non-covalent forces. The anthraquinones showed less inhibitory potential as compared to the FDA-approved drug, boceprevir. Among the anthraquinones studied, alterporriol-Q was found to be the most potent inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Further, MD simulation studies for Mpro- alterporriol-Q system suggested that alterporriol-Q does not alter the structure of Mpro to a significant extent. Considering the impact of COVID-19, identification of alternate compounds like alterporriol-Q that could inhibit the viral infection will help in accelerating the process of drug discovery.

Abstract
The inhibitory effects of engeletin on the activities of human cytochrome P450 3A4 and 2D6 (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6) were investigated by enzyme kinetics, multi-spectroscopy and molecular docking. Engeletin was found to strongly inhibit CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, with the IC50 of 1.32 μM and 2.87 μM, respectively. The inhibition modes of engeletin against CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 were a competitive type and a mixed type, respectively. The fluorescence of the two CYPs was quenched statically by engeletin, which was bound to CYP3A4 stronger than to CYP2D6 at the same temperature. Circular dichroism spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and synchronous fluorescence confirmed that the conformation and micro-environment of the two CYPs protein were changed after binding with engeletin. Molecular docking, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and the fluorescence data revealed that engeletin had strong binding affinity to the two CYPs through hydrogen and van der Waals forces. The findings here suggested that engeletin may cause the herb-drug interactions for its inhibition of CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 activities.

Abstract
Myoglobin is an essential transport protein of heart and muscle tissues that acts as a local oxygen reservoir and a marker in different diseased conditions. On the other hand, Vitamin B12 is a vital nutrient that helps synthesize red blood cells, DNA, and proteins. To understand the ability of vitamin B12 to bind to the excess of myoglobin produced in the body under certain conditions (muscle injuries, severe trauma, etc.), it is essential to dig into the interaction between them. Therefore, the present study reports the binding interaction of vitamin B12 and myoglobin employing different spectroscopic and computational methods. The myoglobin's intrinsic fluorescence is quenched by vitamin B12 via static nature as observed from steady-state as well as time-resolved fluorescence measurements. The microenvironment of myoglobin's tryptophan residue gets affected, but there is no change observed in its α-helical content by vitamin B12 as seen from synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism measurements. The probable binding of vitamin B12 on myoglobin was elucidated through molecular docking, and the interaction stability was studied by molecular dynamics simulation. The determination of vitamin B12's affinity to myoglobin and its effect on the conformational transitions of myoglobin might afford valuable insight for clinical pharmacology.

Abstract
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) has garnered tremendous interest as conventional methods include the use and production of toxic chemicals, products, by-products and reagents. In this regard, the synthesis of AgNPs using green tea (GT) extract and two of its components, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and (+)-catechin (Ct) as capping/stabilizing agents, is reported. The synthesized AgNPs showed antibacterial activity against the bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, along with anticancer activity against HeLa cells. After administering nanoparticles to the body, they come in contact with proteins and results in the formation of a protein corona; hence we studied the interactions of these biocompatible AgNPs with hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) as a carrier protein. Static quenching mechanism was accountable for the quenching of HEWL fluorescence by the AgNPs. The binding constant (K b) was found to be higher for EGCG-AgNPs ((2.309 ± 0.018) × 104 M-1) than for GT-AgNPs and Ct-AgNPs towards HEWL. EGCG-AgNPs increased the polarity near the binding site while Ct-AgNPs caused the opposite effect, but GT-AgNPs had no such observable effects. Circular dichroism studies indicated that the AgNPs had no such appreciable impact on the secondary structure of HEWL. The key findings of this research included the synthesis of AgNPs using GT extract and its constituent polyphenols, and showed significant antibacterial, anticancer and protein-binding properties. The -OH groups of the polyphenols drive the in situ capping/stabilization of the AgNPs during synthesis, which might offer new opportunities having implications for nanomedicine and nanodiagnostics.

Abstract
The endocrine disrupting compound Bisphenol and its analogues are widely used in food packaging products and can cause serious health hazards. The protein, Lysozyme (Lyz), showing anti-microbial properties, is used as a "natural" food and dairy preservative. Herein, we explored the interaction between Lyz and Bisphenol S (BPS) by multi-spectroscopic and theoretical approaches. Lyz interacts with BPS through static quenching, where hydrophobic force governed the underlying interaction. Molecular docking results reveal that tryptophan plays a vital role in binding, corroborated well with near UV-CD studies. A decrease in the radius of gyration (from 1.43 nm to 1.35 nm) of Lyz substantiates the compactness of the protein conformation owing to such an interaction. This structural alteration experienced by Lyz may alter its functional properties as a food preservative. Consequently, this can degrade the quality of the food products and thereby lead to severe health issues.

Abstract
Electrospun polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiber fabric was modified by Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB) to enhance the affinity of the fabric. Batch experiments were performed to study the nanofiber fabric's bovine hemoglobin (BHb) adsorption capacity at different protein concentrations before and after modification. The maximum BHb adsorption capacity of the modified nanofiber fabric was 686 mg/g, which was much larger than the 58 mg/g of the original fabric. After that, the effect of feed concentration and permeation rate on the dynamic adsorption behaviors for BHb of the nanofiber fabric was investigated. The pH impact on BHb and bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption was examined by static adsorption experiments of single protein solutions. The selective separation experiments of the BHb-BSA binary solution were carried out at the optimal pH value, and a high selectivity factor of 5.45 for BHb was achieved. Finally, the reusability of the nanofiber fabric was examined using three adsorption-elution cycle tests. This research demonstrated the potential of the CB-modified PVA nanofiber fabric in protein adsorption and selective separation.

Abstract
The aims of present study were to determine the impact of rutin complexation on the ability of soybean protein isolates (SPI) to form and stabilize foams and its mechanism. At pH 7.0, the foaming capacity and foaming stability of the rutin-SPI complexes (28.33% and 14.22%) was appreciably changed when compared with that of SPI alone (19.64% and 32.95%). The improvement in foaming properties was mainly attributed to decrease gas bubble size and increase interfacial thickness as suggested by light microscopy analysis. UV-visible spectroscopy showed that the absorption peak of the SPI was increased and red shifted after complexation with rutin. ITC confirmed that there was an interaction between rutin and SPI. This interaction was hydrophobic interaction and the binding process was entropy driven. This study shows that the foaming properties of plant-based proteins can be improved by forming complexes with flavonoids, which may be useful for foaming agents in foods.

Abstract
Astilbin, isoastilbin and neoastilbin are the three flavonoid isomers prevalent in Rhizoma Smilax glabra. The interactions between human cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) and the three isomers were investigated by multiple spectroscopic coupled with molecular docking. As a result, the fluorescence intensity of CYP2D6 was quenched statically by the three isomers. Meanwhile, astilbin had the strongest binding ability to CYP2D6, followed by isoastilbin and neoastilbin under the identical temperature. Synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, circular dichroism and Fourier-transform infrared spectra confirmed that the conformation and micro-environment of CYP2D6 protein were changed after binding with the three isomers. As suggested from molecular docking, the three isomers had strong binding affinity to CYP2D6 via the bonding of hydrogen and van der Waals forces, and the results were in agreement with the fluorescence results. The findings here suggested that astilbin, isoastilbin and neoastilbin may cause the herb-drug interactions for their inhibition of CYP2D6 activity.

Abstract
The toxicity of antimony (Sb) is closely related to its chemical forms. To further realize the toxicity risk of different forms of Sb, the separate and simultaneous binding mechanisms of antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated with muti-spectroscopic methods. Fluorescence quenching result and UV-vis absorption spectra showed that a 1:1 complex was formed between antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate and BSA through a modest binding force. The results revealed that the binding of antimony potassium tartrate/potassium pyroantimonate to BSA caused changes in the secondary structure of BSA. Both Sb forms (antimony potassium tartrate and potassium pyroantimonate) were able to interact with BSA when coexisting but there was a binding influence on their interacting with the BSA. Both Sb forms interfere with the binding of the other to protein.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) were found to modulate the fibrillation of Bovine Β-Lactoglobulin (BLG). OBJECTIVE To gain an insight regarding the mechanism of BLG aggregation modulation by AgNPs at molecular level, studies on the interactions between BLG and AgNPs were carried out. METHODS Protein-ligand interactions were studied based on Trp fluorescence quenching (at four different temperatures), synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy (far-UV and near-UV). RESULTS Protein-nanoparticles association constant was in the range of 106 -1010 M-1 and the quenching constant was determined as ~107 M-1. Ground state complexation between the protein and nanoparticles was predicted. Change in polarity surrounding the Trp residue was not detected by synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy. AgNPs caused a global change in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein as revealed from far-UV and near-UV CD spectroscopy. Enthalpy driven complexation between the protein and nanoparticles indicates the involvement of hydrogen bonding and/or van der Waals interactions. CONCLUSION Modulation of BLG aggregation by AgNPs is due to strong binding of the nanoparticles with BLG, which also causes structural perturbations of the protein.

Abstract
The effect of gallic acid (GA) on the redox state of hemoglobin (Hb) and the structural mechanism upon the Hb-GA interaction were investigated. Results indicated that GA exhibited antioxidant and pro-oxidant effects on Hb, which depended on its concentration and the redox state of Hb. The antioxidant capacity of GA contributed to the inhibition of free iron release from Hb. GA could bind to the central cavity of Hb and interacted with the heme moiety through direct hydrophobic contacts as indicated by docking analysis, but GA did not disrupt the heme structure. Conversely, GA increased the compactness of the Hb molecule and might narrow the crevice around the heme pocket, which contributed to the inhibition of Hb autoxidation and the free iron release. Results provided significant insights into the interaction of GA with redox-active Hb, which is beneficial to the application of GA in relative meat and blood products.

The study on the interactions of two 1,2,3-triazoles with several biological macromolecules by multiple spectroscopic methodologies and molecular docking. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2020; 243:118795. [PMID: 32814256 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2020.118795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2020] [Revised: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/26/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
1-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (CPTC) and 5-(3-chlorophenyl) -1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (PCTA) are two new derivatives of 1,2,3-triazole. Their structural and spectral properties were characterized by density functional theory calculations (DFT). The binding properties of CPTC or PCTA with several typical biomacromolecules such as human serum albumin (HSA), bovine hemoglobin (BHb), human immunoglobulin (HIgG) or DNA were investigated by molecular docking and multiple spectroscopic methodologies. The different parameters including binding constants and thermodynamic parameters for CPTC/PCTA-HSA/BHb/HIgG/DNA systems were obtained based on various fluorescence enhancement or quenching mechanisms. The results of binding constants indicated that there were the strong interactions between two triazoles and four biological macromolecules due to the higher order of magnitude between 103 and 105. The values of thermodynamic parameters revealed that the binding forces for these systems are mainly hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic force, or hydrogen bond, respectively, which are in agreement with the results of molecular docking to a certain extent. Moreover, the information from synchronous, 3D fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopies proved that two compounds CPTC and PCTA could affect the microenvironment of amino acids residues of three kinds of proteins. Based on the above experimental results, a comparison of the interaction mechanisms for CPTC/PCTA-proteins/DNA systems have been performed in view of their different molecular structures, which is beneficial for the further research in order to design them as the novel drugs.

Abstract
To inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils by human γd-crystallin (HGD), a series of four flavonoids (quercertin, rutin, morin and hesperetin) was tested. Only morin had demonstrated significant inhibition of HGD fibrillation. Results from fluorimetric assay techniques (using thioflavin T and ANS), FTIR, circular dichroism and microscopic imaging (fluorescence microscopy and transmission electron microscopy) confirmed HGD fibrillation inhibition by morin. HGD-morin complex formation at ground state resulted tryptophan fluorescence quenching through static mechanism, which was also confirmed by determining the excited-state life time of HGD tryptophan residues. Förster resonance energy transfer occurs from HGD to morin. Synchronous, three-dimensional fluorescence, FTIR and circular dichroism results suggest that major changes in HGD conformation did not occur on binding with morin. The interactions between HGD and morin involve hydrogen bonding and/or van der Waals forces. Docking predictions also support experimental results.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of interaction between aloe-emodin (AE) and trypsin was investigated, exhibiting remarkable outcomes. To detect the interaction mechanism, the binding of AE with trypsin was examined by a multi-spectroscopy and molecular docking method. Results showed that the binding of AE and trypsin would lead to static quenching and their binding forces were van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. The results of simultaneous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the combination of AE and trypsin caused changes in the microenvironment around the trypsin fluorophore, which might change the spatial structure of trypsin. FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the contents of α-helix and β-turn in trypsin were decreased and the contents of β-sheet, random coil and antiparallel β-sheet were increased. Moreover, all these experimental results were verified and reasonably explained by molecular docking results. We also investigated the enzyme activity of trypsin and the antioxidant activity of AE. The results showed that both the enzyme activity of trypsin and the antioxidant activity of AE were decreased after interaction between AE and trypsin. The findings outlined in this study should elucidate the molecular mechanisms of interaction between AE and trypsin and contribute to making full use of AE in the food industry.

Abstract
Binding interaction between the small antitumor drug Hydroxyurea (HU) and Bovine Hemoglobin (BHb) has been explored in details from multi-spectroscopic and computational studies. The formation of ground state complex between BHb and HU has been suggested from the electronic UV-Vis and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic studies. The quenching in fluorescence of BHb in presence of HU at varied concentrations has been analyzed from the SV plots. Static type of quenching has been suggested from time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopic studies. Binding parameters associated with the BHb-HU complex have also been estimated from the temperature dependent fluorescence spectroscopic studies. Alterations in the micro-environment of the Tyr and Trp residues of BHb in presence of HU have been observed from the synchronous fluorescence measurement. The result obtained from CD spectroscopic measurements signify partial unfolding in the secondary structure of BHb due to binding with HU molecule. The experimental observations are supported by theoretical studies. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the structural stability and compactness of BHb in the binding interaction between BHb and HU. The interaction of BHb with HU is expected to provide fundamental insights towards understanding the therapeutic effectiveness of HU upon interaction with BHb used in chemo-, radio therpeutic procedures and also in the treatment of SCD.

Abstract
Proteins containing heme groups perform a variety of important functions in living organisms. The heme groups are involved in catalyzing oxidation/reduction reactions, in electron transfer, and in binding small molecules, like oxygen or nitric oxide. Flavonoids, low molecular weight plant polyphenols, are ubiquitous components of human diet. They are also components of many plant extracts used in herbal medicine as well as of food supplements. Due to their relatively low reduction potential, flavonoids are prone to oxidation. This paper provides a review of redox reactions of various heme proteins, including catalase, some peroxidases, cytochrome P450, cytochrome c, myoglobin, and hemoglobin with flavonoids. Potential biological significance of these reactions is discussed, in particular when flavonoids are delivered to the body at pharmacological doses.

Abstract
Puerariae Radix (PR) is a natural herb whose active ingredient is mainly flavonoids. To explore the interaction between PR flavonoids and DNA not only has important biological implications for understanding the mechanism of action, but also helps develop PR products for the design of appropriate dietary interventions to aid cancer treatment. In this work, we comprehensively studied the interaction between six kinds of PR flavonoids and DNA from four different and progressive levels, including molecular docking, multi-spectral analysis, and functional analysis in vitro and in cell. Results show that the DNA binding affinity of six flavonoids is in an order of quercetin > formononetin > daidzein > puerarin > 4'-methoxy puerarin > puerarin 6″-O-xyloside (POS), in which quercetin can significantly inhibit DNA amplification owing to its strongest binding affinity. The binding between quercetin and DNA is further revealed to be intercalated binding, which can cause conformational changes in DNA, thereby exhibiting an activity of cell cycle arrest and anti-proliferative. This property of quercetin can be utilized for the further development of flavonoids with anticancer activity. In addition to the potential application, this work also provides a platform for the comprehensive study of the interaction between micromolecules and DNA.
