[PMID: 38614188 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
DNA, vital for biological processes, encodes hereditary data for protein synthesis, shaping cell structure and function. Since revealing its structure, DNA has become a target for various therapeutically vital molecules, spanning antidiabetic to anticancer drugs. These agents engage with DNA-associated proteins, DNA-RNA hybrids, or bind directly to the DNA helix, triggering diverse downstream effects. These interactions disrupt vital enzymes and proteins essential for maintaining cell structure and function. Analysing drug-DNA interactions has significantly advanced our understanding of drug mechanisms. Glipizide, an antidiabetic drug, is known to cause DNA damage in adipocytes. However, its extract mechanism of DNA interaction is unknown. This study delves into the interaction between glipizide and DNA utilizing various biophysical tools and computational technique to gain insights into the interaction mechanism. Analysis of UV-visible and fluorescence data reveals the formation of complex between DNA and glipizide. The binding affinity of glipizide to DNA was of moderate strength. Examination of thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures suggests that the binding was entropically spontaneous and energetically favourable. Various experiments such as thermal melting assays, viscosity measurement, and dye displacement assays confirmed the minor grove nature of binding of glipizide with DNA. Molecular dynamics studies confirmed the glipizide forms stable complex with DNA when simulated by mimicking the physiological conditions. The binding was mainly favoured by hydrogen bonds and glipizide slightly reduced nucleotide fluctuations of DNA. The study deciphers the mechanism of interaction of glipizide with DNA at molecular levels.

Abstract
Ferulic acid (FA) and ferulic acid methyl ester (FAM) are important phenolic compounds in Baijiu. In this study, the interaction of FA and FAM with human serum albumin (HSA) and lysozyme (LZM) was investigated using multispectral methods and molecular dynamics simulation. FA and FAM could interact with HSA and LZM, changing the conformation and hydrophilicity of the protein. The quenching mechanisms of FA-HSA, FA-LZM, FAM-HSA, and FAM-LZM were all static-quenching. In the FA-HSA, FAM-HSA, and FA-LZM systems, the interaction forces were mainly hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding. In the FAM-LZM system, the interaction forces were mainly hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and van der Waals force. Common metal ions such as K+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+ could affect the binding ability of FA and FAM to HSA and LZM. Moreover, FA and FAM could increase the stability of HSA and LZM, and the protein bound to FA/FAM was more stable than the free protein. FA and FAM had varying degrees of impact on the physiological activities of HSA and LZM. This study provides relevant information on the interactions and metabolic mechanisms of FA and its derivatives with endogenous proteins.

Abstract
The interaction of inorganic nanomaterials with biological fluids containing proteins can lead not only to the formation of a protein corona and thereby to a change in the biological activity of nanoparticles but also to a significant effect on the structural and functional properties of the biomolecules themselves. This work studied the interaction of nanoscale CeO2, the most versatile nanozyme, with human serum albumin (HSA). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed the formation of HSA-CeO2 nanoparticle conjugates. Changes in protein conformation, which depend on the concentration of both citrate-stabilized CeO2 nanoparticles and pristine CeO2 nanoparticles, did not affect albumin drug-binding sites and, accordingly, did not impair the HSA transport function. The results obtained shed light on the biological consequences of the CeO2 nanoparticles' entrance into the body, which should be taken into account when engineering nanobiomaterials to increase their efficiency and reduce the side effects.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 237:116920. [PMID: 37597828 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the impact of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the structure and activity of laccase from Trametes versicolor (Lc) was described. Fluorescence experiments revealed that AuNPs efficiently quench Lc's tryptophan fluorescence by a static and dynamic process. By using differential scanning microcalorimetry and circular dichroism spectroscopy, it was determined how the concentration of nanoparticles and the composition of the medium affected the secondary structure of Lc. The data revealed that upon binding with AuNPs, conformational changes take place mainly in presence of high amounts of nanoparticles. The complex kinetic analysis unveiled the Lc activity enhancement at low concentrations of AuNPs as opposed to the concentrated regime, where it can be reduced by up to 55%. The Michaelis-Menten tests highlighted that the activity of the biocatalyst is closely related to the concentration of AuNPs, while the Selwyn analysis demonstrated that even in a concentrated regime of Lc it is not deactivated regardless of the amount of AuNPs added. The thermal parameters improved by twofold in the presence of low AuNPs concentration, whereas the activation energy increased with AuNPs content, implying that not all collisions are beneficial to the enzyme structure. The effect of AuNPs on the decomposition of a recalcitrant dye (naphthol green B, NG) by Lc was also evaluated, and the Michaelis-Menten model revealed that only the high AuNPs content influenced negatively the Lc activity. The isothermal titration calorimetry revealed that hydrogen bonds are the main intermolecular forces between Lc and AuNPs, while electrostatic interactions are responsible for NG adsorption to AuNPs. The results of the docking analysis show the binding of NG near the copper T1 site of Lc with hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The findings of this work provide important knowledge for laccase-based bio-nanoconjugates and their use in the field of environmental remediation.

Investigation on the binding behavior of human α1-acid glycoprotein with Janus Kinase inhibitor baricitinib: Multi-spectroscopic and molecular simulation methodologies.

[PMID: 37285878 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125096] [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: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
Baricitinib is a Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor that is primarily used to treat moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in adults and has recently been reported for the treatment of patients with severe COVID-19. This paper describes the investigation of the binding behavior of baricitinib to human α1-acid glycoprotein (HAG) employing a variety of spectroscopic techniques, molecular docking and dynamics simulations. Baricitinib can quench the fluorescence from amino acids in HAG through a mix of dynamic and static quenching, according to steady-state fluorescence and UV spectra observations, but it is mainly static quenching at low concentration. The binding constant (Kb) of baricitinib to HAG at 298 K was at the level of 104 M-1, indicating a moderate affinity of baricitinib to HAG. Hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions conducted the main effect, according to thermodynamic characteristics, competition studies between ANS and sucrose, and molecular dynamics simulations. For the change in HAG conformation, the results of multiple spectra showed that baricitinib was able to alter the secondary structure of HAG as well as increase the polarity of the microenvironment around the Trp amino acid. Furthermore, the binding behavior of baricitinib to HAG was investigated by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, which validated experimental results. Also explored is the influence of K+, Co2+, Ni2+, Ca2+, Fe3+, Zn2+, Mg2+ and Cu2+plasma on binding affinity.

Abstract
With the advent of the industrial revolution, the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the environment has become ubiquitous. POPs are halogen-containing organic molecules that accumulate, and remain in the environment for a long time, thus causing toxic effects in living organisms. POPs exhibit a high affinity towards biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins and lipids, causing genotoxicity and impairment of homeostasis in living organisms. Proteins are essential members of the biological assembly, as they stipulate all necessary processes for the survival of an organism. Owing to their stereochemical features, POPs and their metabolites form energetically favourable complexes with proteins, as supported by biological and dose-dependent toxicological studies. Although individual studies have reported the biological aspects of protein-POP interactions, no comprehensive study summarizing the structural mechanisms, thermodynamics and kinetics of protein-POP complexes is available. The current review identifies and classifies protein-POP interaction according to the structural and functional basis of proteins into five major protein targets, including digestive and other enzymes, serum proteins, transcription factors, transporters, and G-protein coupled receptors. Further, analysis detailing the molecular interactions and structural mechanism evidenced that H-bonds, van der Waals, and hydrophobic interactions essentially mediate the formation of protein-POP complexes. Moreover, interaction of POPs alters the protein conformation through kinetic and thermodynamic processes like competitive inhibition and allostery to modulate the cellular signalling processes, resulting in various pathological conditions such as cancers and inflammations. In summary, the review provides a comprehensive insight into the critical structural/molecular aspects of protein-POP interactions.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 324:121342. [PMID: 36828352 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121342] [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: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Benzophenone-type UV filters (BPs) are common in natural aquatic environments. They can cause endocrine disruption or other adverse effects once they enter the human body via the food chain or drinking water. The primary cause of BPs accumulation and toxicity is the transport of BPs into the human body. Functional group substitutions can have a significant impact on the interactions of BPs and transporters, resulting in a variety of impact effects. Therefore, we explored the interaction between human serum albumin (HSA, a typical transporter) and ten typical BPs [benzophenone (BP1), 2-hydroxybenzophenone (BP2), 4-hydroxybenzophenone (BP3), 2,2'-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP4), 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP5), 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone (BP6), 2,4,4'-trihydroxybenzophenone (BP7), 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone (BP8), 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (BP9), and 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (BP10)] to study the role of functional group substitutions in binding. The results showed that BPs could bind to HSA at site 2, with binding constants ranging from 2.01 × 103 to 4.57 × 105 L/mol. Compared to BP1, hydroxyl and methoxy substitutions enhanced the BPs-HSA binding. The combined effect of the number and site of hydroxyl substitution at BPs determined the binding strength between BPs and HSA. It was more accessible to bind HSA when BPs were substituted with para-hydroxyl (4-hydroxyl) groups than with ortho-hydroxyl (2-hydroxyl) groups. Moreover, the additional para-methoxy (4-methoxy) group increased the BP-HSA binding strength by approximately 47 times under the same hydroxyl substitution conditions. Theoretical calculations revealed that functional group substitutions increased the intermolecular binding force by increasing the negative electrostatic potential surface area of BPs, which significantly increased the electrostatic and dispersion forces between the BPs and HSA. This BPs-HSA binding decreased the α-helix of HSA and influenced the ratio of other secondary structures, including β-sheet, β-turn, and random coil of HSA. This study provides a theoretical and experimental foundation for understanding the human health risks associated with BPs.

Abstract
Tepotinib (TPT), an anticancer drug, is a fibroblast growth factor receptor inhibitor approved by the FDA for the chemotherapy of urothelial carcinoma. The binding of anticancer medicines to HSA can affect their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The absorption, fluorescence emission, circular dichroism, molecular docking, and simulation studies were used to evaluate the binding relationship between TPT and HSA. The absorption spectra exhibited a hyperchromic effect upon the interaction of TPT with HSA. The Stern-Volmer and binding constant of the HSA-TPT complex demonstrates that fluorescence quenching is triggered by a static rather than a dynamic process. Further, the displacement assays and molecular docking results revealed that TPT preferred binding to site III of HSA. Circular dichroism spectroscopy confirmed that TPT binding to HSA induces conformational changes and reduces α-helical content. The thermal CD spectra reveal that tepotinib enhances protein's stability in the temperature range of 20 to 90 °C. The findings of MDS studies provide further evidence for the stability of the HSA-TPT complex. Consequently, the findings of the present investigation provide a clear picture of the impacts of TPT on HSA interaction. These interactions are thought to make the microenvironment around HSA more hydrophobic than in its native state.

Abstract
In this study, multiple spectroscopic and computational methods were utilized to investigate the binding mechanism of doxofylline with lysozyme. The in vitro methods were used to obtain the binding kinetics and thermodynamics. UV-vis spectroscopy indicated the formation of complex between doxofylline and lysozyme. The Gibb's free energy and binding constant from UV-vis data was obtained as -7.20 kcal M-1 and 1.929 × 105 M-1, respectively. Doxofylline successfully quenched the fluorescence of lysozyme, confirming the formation of complex. The kq and Ksv values for the quenching of lysozyme's fluorescence by doxofylline were 5.74 × 1011 M-1 s-1 and 3.32 × 103 M-1, respectively. These values signified a moderate binding affinity between doxofylline and lysozyme. In synchronous spectroscopy, red shifts were observed for indicating the changes in microenvironment of lysozyme following the binding of doxofylline. The secondary structural analysis was determined using circular dichroism (CD) which revealed an increase in % α-helical as a result of doxofylline interaction. The binding affinity and flexibility of lysozyme upon complexation have been revealed via molecular docking and molecular dynamic (MD) simulations, respectively. According to the many parameters of the MD simulation, the lysozyme-doxofylline complex was stable under physiological conditions. All during the simulation time, hydrogen bonds were continuously present. The MM-PBSA binding energy for lysozyme and doxofylline binding was found to be -30.55 kcal mol-1.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the vital proteins in blood serum, and its optimum level is a reflection of the physiological well-being of an individual. Any abnormalities in serum HSA levels could often be a sign of disguised physiological disorders. The importance of fast and accurate determination of serum HSA levels has led to the development of various quantification methods. Among these, fluorescence-based methods employ molecular probes capable of producing selective responses on interaction with HSA. Herein, we report chiral 8-aminoBODIPY-based probes having blue emission for the quantitative detection of HSA in buffer and human blood serum. A pair of 8-aminoBODIPY enantiomers, namely R-PEB and S-PEB, were synthesized. They exhibited a fast 'turn-on' fluorescence response towards HSA, allowing its detection and quantification. In PBS buffer, R-PEB and S-PEB showed very good sensitivity with a limit of detection (LoD) of 25 nM (KD = 9.84 ± 0.14 μM) and 39 nM (KD = 18.67 ± 0.21 μM), respectively. The linear relationship observed between the fluorescence intensity of R-PEB/S-PEB and the HSA concentration in serum samples allowed us to generate a reference curve for HSA estimation for practical applications. Examination of unknown serum samples showed a good correlation with the results obtained by the benchmark BCG method. Interestingly, the difference in these probes' dissociation constants and LoD indicated their differential binding to HSA. Considering the availability of multiple ligand binding sites in HSA, their binding preferences were investigated in detail by displacement assays using site-specific drugs. These studies showed the preferential affinity of R-PEB towards site II, which was further substantiated using molecular docking studies. However, these displacement assays could not identify the preferred binding site of S-PEB. Blind docking studies indicated that S-PEB occupied a site closer to FA5. Selective binding of R-PEB to site II and its characteristic photophysical response can be utilized to quickly screen potential site II binding drugs.

Abstract
Interaction of two broadly used herbicides, aclonifen (ACF) and bifenox (BIF) with the major transporter in human circulation, human serum albumin (HSA) were examined using fluorescence and absorption spectral measurements combined with in silico analyses. Assessment of the fluorescence and absorption spectral results affirmed the complexation between ACF/BIF and HSA. Increase in the KSV value with temperature characterized the ACF/BIF-induced quenching of the protein fluorescence as dynamic quenching. The moderate binding affinities (Kf = 1.74×104 - 1.95×106 M-1 for ACF-HSA complex; Kf = 2.00×103 - 1.02×106 M-1 for BIF-HSA complex) were pointed out between ACF/BIF and HSA, showing a relatively higher binding constant values with increasing temperatures. Quantitative evaluation of thermodynamic data (ΔS = +0.86 kJ mol-1 K-1 and ΔH = +225.43 kJ mol-1 for ACF-HSA complex; ΔS = +1.11 kJ mol-1 K-1 and ΔH = +304.63 kJ mol-1 for BIF-HSA complex) predicted the contribution of hydrophobic interactions in the ACF-HSA and BIF-HSA association processes, which were well supported by our molecular docking results. In silico analyses were made to acquire insight details into the ACF and BIF binding to HSA at the binding sites and suggested the locations of ACF and BIF binding sites as both subdomain IIA (site I) and subdomain IIIA (site II) of HSA, showing more preference toward site I.

Abstract
In research laboratories and in various industries, azo compounds are among the most effective and commonly used organic dyes. The association between human (HSA) and bovine (BSA) serum albumins with 5-(2-thiazolylazo)-2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (TTP) was investigated in this research using spectroscopy methods and molecular modeling study. The fluorescence quenching results showed that the quenching mechanisms were static and dynamic processes for HSA and BSA, respectively. From the thermodynamic observations, it is clear that the binding process is a spontaneous molecular interaction, in which van der Waals and hydrogen bonding interactions for HSA and hydrophobic interaction for BSA play the major roles. According to Förster energy transfer, non-radiative energy transferred from HSA and BSA to TTP, is provided by close distance (r0) between TTP and Trp residues of HSA and BSA. The synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, FT-IR findings and UV-Vis absorption data confirm that TTP can induce conformational and micro environmental changes in both the proteins. Furthermore, docking results predicted the probable binding site of TTP in subdomain IIA of HSA and BSA molecules where Trp residues are located. Types of amino acid residues surrounding the TTP molecule supported that van der Waals forces, hydrophobic forces and electrostatic forces play important roles in stabilization of drug-protein complexes formed.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102417. [PMID: 36037967 PMCID: PMC9525908 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2022.102417] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Γ-Crystallins play a major role in age-related lens transparency. Their destabilization by mutations and physical chemical insults are associated with cataract formation. Therefore, drugs that increase their stability should have anticataract properties. To this end, we screened 2560 Federal Drug Agency–approved drugs and natural compounds for their ability to suppress or worsen H2O2 and/or heat-mediated aggregation of bovine γ-crystallins. The top two drugs, closantel (C), an antihelminthic drug, and gambogic acid (G), a xanthonoid, attenuated thermal-induced protein unfolding and aggregation as shown by turbidimetry fluorescence spectroscopy dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy of human or mouse recombinant crystallins. Furthermore, binding studies using fluorescence inhibition and hydrophobic pocket–binding molecule bis-8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid revealed static binding of C and G to hydrophobic sites with medium-to-low affinity. Molecular docking to HγD and other γ-crystallins revealed two binding sites, one in the “NC pocket” (residues 50–150) of HγD and one spanning the “NC tail” (residues 56–61 to 168–174 in the C-terminal domain). Multiple binding sites overlap with those of the protective mini αA-crystallin chaperone MAC peptide. Mechanistic studies using bis-8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonic acid as a proxy drug showed that it bound to MAC sites, improved Tm of both H2O2 oxidized and native human gamma D, and suppressed turbidity of oxidized HγD, most likely by trapping exposed hydrophobic sites. The extent to which these drugs act as α-crystallin mimetics and reduce cataract progression remains to be demonstrated. This study provides initial insights into binding properties of C and G to γ-crystallins.

Abstract
Natural polyacetylenes occur in food and herbal plants, have a wide range of bioactivities, and are recognized as important nutraceuticals. Stipuol is a natural polyacetylene present in the edible plant Panax notoginseng. The present study was aimed to study interactions of rac-stipuol and its enantiomers with human serum albumin (HSA) using multi-spectroscopic, molecular modeling and microscale thermophoresis. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectra manifest that the fluorescence quenching mechanism is mainly static in type. The bindings of (S)-stipuol, (R)-stipuol, rac-stipuol lead to some microenvironmental and slight conformational changes of HSA. Competitive ligand displacement experiments and molecular modeling studies revealed that stipuol enantiomers bind to HSA at subdomain III (site IIA). The calculated values of Ka and Kd showed that (R)-stipuol had a stronger binding affinity than (S)-stipuol. The results are informative for use of stipuol as a nutraceutical to improve human health.

Abstract
The health effects of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water drew great attention recently. Herein, by using in vitro (fluorescence quenching, UV absorbance, circular dichroism) and in silico (molecular docking) method, binding interactions of two halophenolic DBPs (2,4,6-trichlorophenol [TCP] and 2,4,6-tribromophenol [TBP]) with human serum albumin (HSA) and the influence of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPCD) on the interactions were investigated. TCP/TBP could form complexes with HSA mainly by hydrogen bonding, while changing its secondary structure, among which TBP showed more influential effect. Interestingly, the binding constants for halophenol-HSA complexes decreased obviously with the involvement of HPCD. Molecular docking results revealed that HPCD could include TCP/TBP into its cavity and change their original binding sites from subdomain IB to IIA, resulting in a more stable binding system. These findings are beneficial for understanding the toxicity of halophenols inside the human body and indicated that HPCD could be a promising detoxication agent for DBPs.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:3655-3664. [PMID: 34882798 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 12/09/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium dehydroacetate (DHA-S) is a common food additive, which can combine with serum proteins in the plasma, but the interaction mechanism between DHA-S and human serum albumin (HSA) is unclear. In this study, multiple spectroscopy techniques, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), molecular docking and esterase activity test were employed to investigate the interaction mechanism of DHA-S and HSA. RESULTS A DHA-S-HSA complex was formed and the structure of HSA were altered by DHA-S. Since DHA-S changed the tight structure of the hydrophobic subdomain IIA where tryptophan (Trp) was placed, the hydrophobicity of the microenvironment of HSA was enhanced. With the addition of DHA-S, the skeleton structure of HSA became loose and the solvent shell on the HSA surface was destroyed. DHA-S altered the secondary structure of HSA, resulting in the decreased α-helix and increased β-sheet contents. The interaction was exothermic and spontaneous driven by van der Waals and hydrogen bonding. DHA-S inhibited the esterase activity of HSA. Molecular docking demonstrated that the binding site of DHA-S on HSA located at the cavity of subdomains IIA and IIIA, but the amino acids related to esterase activity of HSA were not in the binding pocket, indicating that the mechanism by which DHA-S inhibited HSA esterase activity was the change in protein structure. CONCLUSION This study illustrated that DHA-S interacted with HSA and the structure and function of HSA were affected by DHA-S. This research could help to understand the toxicity of DHA-S and provide basic data for safe use of food additives. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Inhibition of tyrosinase activity can control fruit browning and preserve the flavor and nutritional value of food. The impacts of fulvic acid (FA) and humic acid (HA) on tyrosinase activity were investigated utilizing circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy, molecular docking (MD), and molecular dynamics simulations. HA and FA demonstrated a mixed type of inhibition with Ki 2.02 and 5.2 μM, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters displayed that the hydrogen bond and hydrophobic force play a major role in the FA-tyrosinase and HA-tyrosinase interaction, respectively. Fluorescence experiments demonstrated changes in tyrosinase tertiary structures. HA could not destroy the tyrosinase secondary structure significantly, however, FA has a significant influence on the tyrosinase secondary structure. The molecular dynamics findings demonstrated the minimal fluctuations and the lowest flexibility in the complex amino acids in the HA-tyrosinase and FA-tyrosinase interaction. Altogether, HA and FA could be utilized in food industries as an accessible natural source for tyrosinase inhibition. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Recently, the investigation of tyrosinase inhibitors from the biosphere for hindrance of undesired browning in the food industry has increased considerably. Mushroom tyrosinase is a suitable model for kinetic research owing to its availability as well as close conformational similarity to tyrosinase in a mammal. Natural sources and their effective compounds could have wonderful potential on tyrosinase activity and structure, thus, in this study, the interactions between tyrosinase and fulvic acid (FA) and Humic acid (HA) were investigated. Previously, it has been shown that HA and FA have antioxidant properties and they can improve the quality of food via retarding lipid oxidation. Altogether, further investigations are warranted to draw firm conclusions, HA and FA could be utilized in food industries not only as antioxidant agents but also as an accessible natural source for tyrosinase inhibition.

Abstract
20(S)-protopanaxatriol (PPT) is one of the ginsenosides isolated from Panax ginseng which have many pharmaceutical activities. However, the poor water solubility of PPT restrict its applications. Herein, a novel bridged-bis-[6-(3,3'-(ethylenedioxy) bis (propylamine))-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin] (EDBA-bis-β-CD) was designed and synthesized, and the inclusion complex (IC) of EDBA-bis-β-CD with PPT was successfully prepared in the solid state, and characterized by UV, 1H NMR, 2D ROESY, FT-IR, XRD and SEM and molecular modelling methods. The continuous variation method analysis indicated that the stoichiometry of the IC was 1:1. UV-vis spectral analysis demonstrated the binding constant Ks was 995.94 M-1, and the solubility study showed that the solubility of PPT improved 290 times. The interaction of the IC with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated via fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that fluorescence quenching of BSA by IC was static quenching. Thermodynamic studies showed that van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding play significant roles in interaction. The esterase-like activity of BSA in the presence of IC showed that it reduce the esterase activity of BSA in a competitive manner. Furthermore, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations for EDBA-bis-β-CD/PPT and BSA/IC systems were generated to provide information on the stability and the forces in the binding.

Abstract
Despite the rapid development of fluorescent probe techniques for the detection of human serum albumin (HSA), a probe that discriminates between HSA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) is still a challenging task, since their similar chemical structures. As a continuation of our work, herein, a dicyanoisophorone-based fluorescent probe DCO2 is systematically studied for discrimination of HSA from BSA. The photophysical and sensing performances of DCO2, including basic spectroscopic properties, sensing sensitivity, and selectivity, exhibits that DCO2 could selectively bind with HSA and display remarkable fluorescence enhancement (∼254-fold) at 685 nm. The gap of the fluorescent response of DCO2 between HSA and BSA is an obvious increase from 21% to 73% compared to the previous probe DCO1. The sensing mechanism was elucidated by Job's plot, displacement experiment, and molecular docking, suggesting that the specific response to HSA originated from the rigid donor structure and steric hindrance. DCO2 could be buried in the DS1 pocket of HSA, and only partly wedged into the DS1 pocket of BSA with exposing twisted N,N-diethylamino group outside. Application studies indicated that DCO2 has well detective behavior for HSA in the biological fluids. This work could provide a new approach to design HSA-specific near-infrared fluorescence probes.

Abstract
Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) protein has a strong ability to complex with metal ions, which may increase the transport of metal ions in the soil multi-media system. In this study, the interactions between Cry1Ac protein and metal ions (Zn2+ and Cd2+) were investigated through spectroscopies and molecular docking methods. The spectra results showed that both Zn2+ and Cd2+ quenched the fluorescence intensity of Cry1Ac protein through the static quenching. The binding constants with 4-5 orders of magnitude also indicated the interactions between the ions and the Cry1Ac protein. The thermodynamic analysis showed that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces were predominant during the processes. In terms of the Förster non-radiation energy transfer theory, the binding distances between metal ions and Cry1Ac protein were approximately 0.21-0.24 nm, indicating the existence of a non-radiative energy transfer between them. Furthermore, molecular docking revealed that the metal ions participated in ligand binding with the Cry1Ac at the locations Asp569, Thr560, Asn564 and Gln566. The present work provided reasonable models helping us further understand the transport effect of heavy metals in the presence of Cry1Ac. The results could provide mechanistic insights into the nature of metal ions-Cry1Ac interactions and offer important information on the toxicity risk of metal ions-Cry1Ac binding interactions.

Abstract
The binding of small molecular drugs with human serum albumin (HSA) has a crucial influence on their pharmacokinetics. The binding interaction between the antihypertensive Eplerenone (EPL)and HSA was investigated using multi-spectroscopic techniques for the first time. These techniques include UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), native fluorescence spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking approach. The fluorescence spectroscopic study showed that EPL quenched HSA inherent fluorescence. The mechanism for quenching of HSA by EPL has been determined to be static in nature and confirmed by UV absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The modified Stern-Volmer equation was used to estimate the binding constant (Kb ) as well as the number of bindings (n). The results indicated that the binding occurs at a single site (Kb;2.238 x 103 L mol-1 at 298 K). The enthalpy and entropy changes (∆H and ∆S) were 58.061 and 0.258 K J mol-1 , respectively, illustrating that the principal intermolecular interactions stabilizing the EPL-HSA system are hydrophobic forces. Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy revealed that EPL binding to HSA occurred around the tyrosine residue (Tyr) and this agreed with the molecular docking study. The FRET analysis confirmed the static quenching mechanism. The esterase enzyme activity of HSA was also evaluated showing its decrease in the presence of EPL. Furthermore, docking analysis and site-specific markers experiment revealed that EPL binds with HSA at subdomain IB (site III).

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
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
Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most important serum carrier proteins that deliver small-molecule drugs to their specific targets. Clarifying the molecular mechanism of the interaction between natural HSA and drugs in an aqueous solution has been a hot topic in pharmaceutical chemistry, clinical medicine, and biochemistry in recent years, but it is still challenging. In this paper, the details of molecular interactions of HSA with a variety of therapeutic drugs including ibuprofen, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, and warfarin are systematically investigated using a mass spectrometry (MS)-based lysine reactivity profiling (LRP) strategy. The results reaffirm that the major ligand binding sites (including Sites I and II) of HSA are located in subdomains IIA and IIIA, while several potential drug-binding areas at subdomain IIIB and α helix IIB-IIIA are newly characterized. The MS-LRP strategy may have important application prospects in pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and safety evaluation of small-molecule drugs.

Abstract
IR-780 is a lipophilic dye with excellent optical and tumor imaging properties for early tumor diagnostics. Although the mechanism of tumor targeting has not been fully identified, the view that serum albumin plays an important role in tumor accumulation has been recognized. Here, the mechanism of the interaction between IR-780 and HSA was studied to explore the effect of albumin on its tumor targeting properties. Data demonstrate that IR-780 can be tightly adsorbed by HSA at a ratio of 1:1 to form a noncovalent complex, which exhibits significant improvement in the near-infrared fluorescence imaging and tumor diagnosis capacity. During this process, the endogenous fluorescence and esterase activity of HSA are both partially inhibited by IR-780, and the α-helical content of HSA slightly increases. Molecular docking simulation displays that the binding site of IR-780 on HSA is between subdomains IIA and IIB. These results indicate that HSA is an important factor to mediate the optical performance of IR-780, giving it higher tumor diagnosis capability.

Abstract
Isoorientin is a C-glycosyl flavone with a wide range of health beneficial effects and inhibits glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) potentially against Alzheimer's disease. Its semi-synthetic derivatives have greater potency than isoorientin. The present study was aimed to determine the mechanism of interactions of isoorientin and its derivatives with human serum albumin (HSA) using multi-spectroscopic, microscale thermophoresis (MST) and computational studies. Spectra of steady-state fluorescence, UV-Vis, and time-resolved fluorescence indicated that isoorientin and its derivatives quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching process. Isoorientin and its derivatives had a moderate affinity with HSA (Ka 7.7-14.9 × 104 M-1). The binding process was accompanied by an exothermic phenomenon, ΔG° of HSA-isoorientin and its derivatives systems were calculated as from -29.51 kJ mol-1 to -27.87 kJ mol-1. Displacement experiments with site-specific markers revealed that isoorientin and its derivatives bind to HSA at site II (subdomain IIIA) only. A reduction in the α-helical content of HSA-isoorientin and its derivatives complex was observed, because the conformational changes was structurally perturbed by the hydrophilic groups of the compounds. Further molecular modeling studies confirmed that the binding of isoorientin and its derivatives to the site II via hydrophobic interaction. The MST results confirmed the interactions between HSA and the compounds of interest. The esterase-like assay studies indicated that isoorientin and its derivatives shared the same binding site in HSA, and their induced structural changes of HSA may have been caused by partial unfolding of HSA. This work helps to understand transport, distribution, bioactivity, and design of flavonoid-based GSK-3β inhibitors.

Abstract
Exemestane is an irreversible steroidal aromatase inhibitor, typically used to treat breast cancer. As an anti-tumor drug, exemestane has more obvious side effects on the gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this work is to investigate the combination of exemestane with three important digestive enzymes including pepsin (Pep), trypsin (Try) and α-Chymotrypsin (α-ChT) so as to analyze the mechanism of the gastrointestinal adverse effects causing by exemestane binding. Enzyme activity experiment showed that the enzyme activity of Pep was decreased in the presence of exemestane. Fluorescence spectra revealed that exemestane formed stable complexes with digestive enzymes, and the quenching mechanism of drug-digestive enzymes interaction were all static quenching. The binding constants of Pep, Try and α-ChT at 298 K were 2.34 × 105, 1.45 × 105, and 2.05 × 105 M-1, respectively. Synchronous fluorescence and 3D fluorescence spectroscopy showed that the conformation of exemestane was slightly changed after combining with digestive enzymes, and non-radiative energy transfer occurred. Circular dichroism results indicated that exemestane could change the secondary structure of digestive enzymes via increase the α-helix content and decrease in the β-sheet content. Thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0, ΔS0, and ΔG0) revealed that exemestane interacted with α-ChT through electrostatic force, and the binding force with Pep and Try was van der Waals interactions and hydrogen, which was basically consistent with the molecular docking results.

Abstract
In the present study, different spectroscopic techniques have been used to study the binding interaction between the antidepressant drug fluvoxamine and human serum albumin under simulated physiological conditions (pH 7.4). The utilized spectroscopic techniques include fluorescence emission spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and molecular modeling methods. The obtained results revealed that the formation of a complex between human serum albumin and fluvoxamine was responsible for quenching the native fluorescence of human serum albumin. The results indicated that the quenching mechanism between human serum albumin and fluvoxamine was static. Besides, the binding constant (K), number of binding sites (n), thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG), and binding forces were calculated at three different temperatures (298, 310, and 318 K). These data proposed that hydrophobic forces were the principal intermolecular forces stabilizing the complex. From the molecular docking results, it could be deduced that fluvoxamine was inserted into sub-domain II A (site I) of human serum albumin and led to a slight change in human serum albumin conformation.

Abstract
TolC is a member of the outer membrane efflux proteins (OEPs) family and acts as an exit duct to export proteins, antibiotics, and substrate molecules across the Escherichia coli cell membrane. Export of these molecules is evidenced to be brought about through the reversible interactions and binding of substrate-specific drug molecules or antibiotics with TolC and by being open for transport, which afterward leads to cross-resistance. Hence, the binding of kanamycin with TolC was monitored through molecular docking (MD), the structural fluctuations and conformational changes to the atomic level. The results were further supported from the steady-state fluorescence binding and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies. Binding of kanamycin with TolC resulted in a concentration dependent fluorescence intensity quenching with 7 nm blue shift. ITC binding data maintains a single binding site endothermic energetic curve with binding parameters indicating an entropy driven binding process. The confirmational changes resulting from this binding were monitored by a circular dichroism (CD) study, and the results showed insignificant changes in the α-helix and β-sheets secondary structure contents, but the tertiary structure shows inclusive changes in the presence of kanamycin. The experimental data substaintially correlates the RMSD, R g, and RMSF results. The resulting conformational changes of the TolC-kanamycin complexation was stabilized through H-bonding and other interactions.

Abstract
In this study, we have exploring the binding mechanisms of the two anticancer alkaloid noscapine (NOS) and piperine (PIP) with tRNA using different spectroscopy and computational method. Absorbance and emission spectra revealed that both the drugs show strong binding with tRNA, where NOS intercalate between the base pairs of tRNA and PIP binds in the groove of tRNA. Competitive binding study and steady state anisotropy further confirms the intercalative mode of binding between NOS and tRNA and groove binding in PIP-tRNA complex. The observed thermodynamic parameters suggested that NOS-tRNA complex formation is endothermic and entropy driven, however it was exothermic, and enthalpy driven in case of PIP-tRNA complex. CD and time resolved fluorescence studies show the structural perturbations and conformational change in tRNA structure with NOS as well as PIP. Molecular docking studies are comparable with experimental results and further confirmed that the hydrophobic interactions involved in the NOS-tRNA binding, whereas hydrogen binding and van der Waals interactions play important role in the PIP-tRNA complex formation. This study can be useful to understand the potential binding and resultant tRNA damage by alkaloids and deigned new target specific anticancer drug.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the interaction of neratinib (NRB) with human serum albumin (HSA) in presence of flavonoids quercetin and rutin. Both quercetin and rutin can compete with NRB to bind to HSA and displace NRB from its binding site. The interaction mechanism was studied with several spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking. Static fluorescence quenching mechanism was observed on interaction of HSA with NRB. van der Waals force and hydrogen bond were involved in the HSA-NRB interaction as per the results of thermodynamic parameters. Further, the conformational changes were observed in the HSA on its interaction with NRB. Interaction of NRB with HSA in presence of quercetin and rutin resulted in changes in the binding constants of HSA-NRB suggesting some impact on the binding of NRB in the presence of flavonoids.

Sarmah RJ, Kundu S. Structure, morphology and reversible hysteresis nature of human serum albumin (HSA) monolayer on water surface. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 174:377-384.

Abstract
Compression-decompression surface pressure (π)-specific molecular area (A) isotherm cycle of human serum albumin (HSA) monolayer is performed on water surface at four different subphase pH conditions, i.e., below and above the isoelectric point (pI ≈ 4.7) of HSA molecule. For all pH conditions, the decompression curve nearly follows the compression curve, however, at pH ≈ 5.0, hysteresis is observed at higher surface pressure. Out-of-plane structures and in-plane morphologies obtained from the X-ray reflectivity and AFM studies show that only the film thickness variation takes place with the change in surface pressure, which is also evidenced from the BAM images. With increase in surface pressure, the oblate-shaped HSA molecules start tilting making an angle with the water surface and as the monolayer is decompressed the molecules regain their initial untilted monomolecular configuration. Depending upon the subphase pH and local surface charge of the specific protein molecule, electrostatic repulsive interaction dominates over the van der Waals attraction and as a result decompression curve follows the compression curve as the molecules repel each other, however, closer to the isoelectric point as strength of the interactions reverses, a hysteresis is obtained at higher surface pressure and accordingly monolayer behaviour modifies on the water surface.

Protective actions of bioactive flavonoids chrysin and luteolin on the glyoxal induced formation of advanced glycation end products and aggregation of human serum albumin: In vitro and molecular docking analysis. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 165:2275-2285.

Abstract
The post-translational modification of proteins by nonenzymatic glycation (NEG) and the accumulation of AGEs are the two underlying factors associated with the long-term pathogenesis in diabetes. Glyoxal (GO) is a reactive intermediate which has the ability to modify proteins and generate AGEs at a faster rate. Human serum albumin (HSA) being the most abundant serum protein has a higher chance to be modified by NEG. The key objective of the present study is to investigate the potency of chrysin and luteolin as antiglycating and antifibrillating agents in the GO-mediated glycation and fibril formation of HSA. AGEs formation were confirmed from the absorption and fluorescence spectral measurements. Both the flavonoids were able to quench the AGEs fluorescence intensity in vitro indicating the antiglycating nature of the molecules. The formation of fibrils in the GO-modified HSA was confirmed by the Thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence assay and the flavonoids were found to exihibit the antifibrillation properties in vitro. Docking results suggested that both the flavonoids interact with various amino acid residues of subdomain IIA including glycation prone lysines and arginines via non-covalent forces and further stabilized the structure of HSA, which further explains their mechanisms of action as antiglycating and antifibrillating agents.

Abstract
Egletes viscosa is a plant with therapeutic value due to its antibacterial, antinociceptive and gastroprotective properties. This study aimed to purify, characterize, and evaluate the cytotoxicity of a lectin (EgviL) from the floral capitula of E. viscosa. The lectin was isolated from saline extract through precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by Sephadex G-75 chromatography. The molecular mass and isoelectric point (pI) of EgviL were determined as well as its temperature and pH stability. Physical-chemical parameters of interaction between EgviL and carbohydrates were investigated by fluorescence quenching and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Cytotoxicity was investigated against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and neoplastic cells. EgviL (28.8 kDa, pI 5.4) showed hemagglutinating activity stable towards heating until 60 °C and at the pH range 5.0-7.0. This lectin is able to interact through hydrophobic and electrostatic bonds with galactose and glucose, respectively. EgviL reduced the viability of PBMCs only at the highest concentration tested (100 μg/mL) while was toxic to Jurkat E6-1 cells with IC50 of 24.1 μg/mL,inducing apoptosis. In summary, EgviL is a galactose/glucose-binding protein with acidic character, stable to heating and with cytotoxic effect on leukemic cells.

Abstract
The drugs-protein binding study is of growing importance for drug-repurposing against amyloidosis. In this work, we study the binding of teicoplanin (TPN), a glycopeptide antibiotic, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in its neutral (N), physiological (P) and basic (B) forms, which exist at pH 6, pH 7.4 and pH 9, respectively. The binding and thermodynamic parameters of TPN binding were determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and fluorescence quench titration methods. Two binding sites were observed for N and P forms, whereas B form showed only one binding site. ITC and molecular docking results indicated that TPN-BSA complex formation is stabilized by hydrogen bonds, salt bridges and hydrophobic interaction. The red-edge excitation shift (REES) study indicated an ordered compact and spatial arrangement of the TPN bound protein molecule. TPN was found to affect the secondary and tertiary structures of B form only. The TPN binding was observed to marginally stabilize BSA isomers. TPN was also found to inhibit BSA aggregation as monitored by Rayleigh light scattering and thioflavin T binding assay. The current in vitro study will open a new path to explore the possible use of TPN as potential drugs to treat amyloidosis.
