Abstract
Hesperidin (HE), a significant flavonoid polyphenolic compound present in citrus plants, exhibits diverse pharmacological effects. Considering the crucial involvement of biological membranes and transporter proteins in the transportation and biological processes of HE, it becomes essential to comprehend the potential mechanisms through which HE interacts with membranes and transporter proteins. In order to simulate the process of active molecule transport, a cell membrane model consisting of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-n-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and a transporter protein model of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were employed for investigation. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of action of hesperidin (HE) in DPPC and BSA using fluorescence quenching, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The localization and interaction of HE within liposomes were also elucidated. Furthermore, the binding of BSA and HE was analyzed through UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and computational biology techniques. Computational biology analysis revealed that the binding between HE and BSA primarily occurred via hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. This study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of HE in the DPPC cell membrane model and the BSA transporter protein model, thereby offering novel insights into the action of HE in DPPC and BSA.

Abstract
The reduced antioxidant capacity of trans-resveratrol (Res) than the second generation of Res, namely pterostilbene (Pte), severely prohibits its in-depth intriguing radical-scavenging applications in food formulations. Herein, a unique chemical structure-dependent strategy was proposed to specifically enhance the radical scavenging activity of Res over Pte, relying on the two more hydroxyl groups on the A-benzene ring of Res, thus facilitating its binding with lactoferrin (LF) to form stable complexes through more hydrogen bonds. We prepared LF-Res and LF-Pte complexes, revealed their binding mechanisms by multispectral analysis and molecular docking/dynamics simulations, further evaluated their antioxidant properties via ABTS and DPPH assays and a model of inhibiting apple browning, eventually elucidated their structure-binding-property relationships. This contribution offers a new approach to restore the antioxidant capability of Res, also paves the way to precisely regulate the fascinating bioactivities of hydrophobic compounds by protein-binding in a chemical structure-, especially hydroxyl group-dependent manner.

Abstract
Organophosphorus are typically hazardous chemicals used in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and other industries. They pose a serious risk to human life and can be fatal upon direct exposure. Hence, studying the interaction between such compounds with proteins is crucial for environmental, health, and food safety. In this study, we investigated the interaction mechanism between azinphos-methyl (AZM) and β-lactoglobulin (BLG) at pH 7.4 using a combination of biophysical techniques. Intrinsic fluorescence investigations revealed that BLG fluorescence was quenched in the presence of increasing AZM concentrations. The quenching mechanism was identified as static, as evidenced by a decrease in the fluorescence quenching constant (1.25 × 104, 1.18 × 104, and 0.86 × 104 M-1) with an increase in temperatures. Thermodynamic calculations (ΔH > 0; ΔS > 0) affirmed the formation of a complex between AZM and BLG through hydrophobic interactions. The BLG's secondary structure was found to be increased due to AZM interaction. Ultraviolet -visible spectroscopy data showed alterations in BLG conformation in the presence of AZM. Molecular docking highlighted the significant role of hydrophobic interactions involving residues such as Val43, Ile56, Ile71, Val92, Phe105, and Met107 in the binding between BLG and AZM. A docking energy of -6.9 kcal mol-1, and binding affinity of 1.15 × 105 M-1 suggest spontaneous interaction between AZM and BLG with moderate to high affinity. These findings underscore the potential health risks associated with the entry of AZM into the food chain, emphasizing the need for further consideration of its impact on human health.

Abstract
Procyanidins are bioactive polyphenols that have a strong affinity to proteins. Beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) is widely used as an emulsifier in the food and other industries. This study evaluated the interaction between BLG and A-type procyanidin dimer (PA2) using the spectroscopic, thermodynamic, and molecular simulation. PA2 decreased the transmissivity and quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BLG, suggesting that the two molecules formed a complex. The binding of PA2 reduced the surface hydrophobicity and altered the conformation of BLG with increasing the random coil regions. Thermodynamic and isothermal titration calorimetry analyses suggested that the main driving force of PA2-BLG interaction was hydrophobic attraction. Molecular docking simulations were used to identify the main interaction sites and forces in the BLG-PA2 complexes, which again indicated that hydrophobic interactions dominated. In addition, the influence of PA2 on the ability of BLG to form and stabilize O/W emulsions was analyzed. Emulsions formulated using BLG-PA2 complexes contained relatively small droplets (D4,3 ≈ 0.7 μm) and high surface potentials (absolute value >50 mV). Compared to BLG alone, BLG-PA2 complexes improved the storage stability of the emulsions. This study provides valuable new insights into the formation, properties, and application of protein-polyphenol complexes as functional ingredients in foods.

Comparison of interaction, structure, and cell proliferation of α-lactalbumin-safflower yellow complex induced by microwave heating or conventional heating. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:1846-1855.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The protein-polyphenol interaction mechanism has always been a research hotspot, but their interaction is affected by heat treatment, which is widely applied in food processing. Moreover, the effects of microwave or water-bath heating on the protein-polyphenol interaction mechanism have been not clarified. The pasteurization condition (65 °C, 30 min) was selected to compare the effects of microwave or water bath on binding behavior, structure, and cell proliferation between α-lactalbumin (α-LA) and safflower yellow (SY), thus providing a guide for the selection of functional dairy processing conditions. RESULTS Microwave heat treatment of α-LA-SY resulted in stronger fluorescence quenching than that of conventional heat treatment. Moreover, the binding constant Ka of all α-LA-SY samples was augmented significantly after microwave or water bath treatment, and microwave-heated α-LA-SY showed the maximum Ka . Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed that microwave heating resulted in more ordered structures of α-LA into its disordered structures than water bath heating. However, the ferric reducing antioxidant power and chroma value of α-LA-SY were more reduced by microwave heating than by water bath heating. Moreover, microwave heating facilitated the cell proliferation of α-LA-SY compared with water bath treatment. CONCLUSION It was demonstrated that microwave heating promoted interaction between α-LA and SY more than water bath heating did. Microwave heat treatment was a safe and effective way to enhance the binding affinity of α-LA to SY, being a potential application in food industry. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Complex plant protein prepared from rice protein and pea protein: Improve the thermal stability of betanin. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112341.

Abstract
Betanin (BN) is a kind of edible natural red pigment with a variety of biological activities, but the thermal instability of BN has critically restricted its application in food industry. In this study, complex plant protein (RP-PP) was constructed by rice protein (RP) and pea protein (PP) to study the thermal protection effect and protective mechanism on BN. Thermal degradation results indicated RP-PP significantly improved thermal protection effect, and the degradation rate of BN was decreased from 93.74 % to 56.48 % after heating at 80 ℃ for 60 min. The main interaction between RP-PP and BN was hydrophobic force based on the result of fluorescence spectroscopy, FTIR and molecular docking. In addition, a porous network structure of RP-PP was observed by SEM, and the pore structure gradually decreased at the presence of BN, which speculated BN was trapped in it. TEM observation showed that RP-PP gradually aggregated with the increasing BN concentration, leading to a significant increase in particle size and the formation of network structure. The BN acted as a bridge to the surrounding proteins in the aggregated complex and was encapsulated within it. The interaction and encapsulation may be the key reasons for the improved thermal stability of BN.

Abstract
Zinc plays a vital role in structural, catalysis, and signal regulation in the human body. Zinc deficiency leads to the dysfunction of many organs and immunity systems. Diet proteins have distinct effects on zinc uptake. However, the mechanisms are uncovered. Here we select three principal components from whey protein: alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, and bovine serum albumin, which bind with zinc at different affinities, to evaluate the relationship between their potential zinc uptake and protein binding. The experimental data shows that beta-lactoglobulin could promote zinc uptake, alpha-lactalbumin has minor effects, whereas bovine serum albumin reduced zinc uptake in Caco-2 cell lines. Zinc binding effects on protein structure were thoroughly inspected through fluorescent spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Isothermal titration calorimetry revealed that three proteins have different binding affinities toward zinc ions. We speculate that protein binding eliminates toxic effects from free zinc, and the binding strength dominates zinc uptake. Zinc binding strength of diet proteins dominants zinc uptake in Caco-2 cells.![]()

Abstract
Although β-glucan could bind to Dectin-1 to exert bioactivity, the influence of molecular size and chain conformation of β-glucan on its interaction with Dectin-1 is still unclear. This work investigated the molecular sizes and chain conformations of five water-soluble yeast β-glucan (WYG1-5) fractions as well as their interactions with Dectin-1 by fluorescence spectroscopy and microscale thermophoresis. Results revealed a spherical conformation for higher molecular weight WYG and a stiff chain conformation for smaller molecular weight WYG. The WYG and Dectin-1 interactions were in the order of WYG-2 > WYG-1 > WYG-3 > WYG-4 > WYG-5. The spherical WYG-2 exhibited the largest binding constant of 7.91 × 105 M1 and the lowest dissociation constant of 22.1 nM to Dectin-1. Additionally, the underlying interaction mechanism showed that it may be easier for spherical WYG with longer side chains to interact with receptor Dectin-1.

Abstract
Lysozyme is widely used for the synthesis of nanomaterials (e.g., gold nanoparticle) to fluorescently sense metal ions. However, the effect of metal ions on the fluorescence of lysozyme is not studied yet. Herein, we have explored the interactions of lysozyme with different metal ions to develop a direct sensing platform for Fe(III). It has been observed that the fluorescence of lysozyme was slightly decreased in the presence of Cu(II), Hg(II), As(V), Co(II), Cd(II), Cr(II), Fe(II), Mn(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II), while a significant decrease in the lysozyme fluorescence was observed for Fe(III). The effect of thermal stability on the fluorescence quenching was also studied from 25 to 60 °C.

Anal Chim Acta 2020; 1136:82-90. [PMID: 33081952 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.08.046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Revised: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 08/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
In this paper, a novel approach was established on the basis of a molecularly imprinted technique with the aid of double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) embedded in a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) membrane as a new functional unit with chiral recognition for highly specific chiral recognition. The chiral molecules were immobilized and anchored in the cavities of the MIP membrane on the basis of the three-dimensional structure of a molecule determined by the functional groups, spatial characterization of the cavities of MIPs, and the spatial orientation with dsDNA embedded in MIPs. D-carnitine was selected as an example of a chiral molecular template, which intercalated into dsDNA immobilized on the gold electrode surface to form dsDNA-D-carnitine complex, and then the complex was embedded in the MIP during electropolymerization. After elution, the stereo-selective cavities were obtained. Our findings have shown that AAAA-TTTT base sequence had high affinity for D-carnitine intercalation. Combined with the electrochemical detection method, MIP sensor was prepared. The selectivity of the MIP sensor to ultratrace D-carnitine was significantly improved; the sensor had remarkable stereo-selectivity and highly chiral specific recognition to D-carnitine, and L-carnitine with a concentration of 10,000 times D-carnitine did not interfere with the detection of D-carnitine in the assay of raceme. The sensor also exhibited high sensitivity to ultratrace D-carnitine determination with a linear response to the concentration of D-carnitine in the range of 3.0 × 10-16 mol/L to 4.0 × 10-13 mol/L, with a detection limit of 2.24 × 10-16 mol/L. The mechanism of chiral recognition was studied, and result showed that apart from the recognition effect of imprinted cavities, dsDNA provided chiral selectivity to the spatial orientation of chiral molecules via the intercalation of chiral molecules with dsDNA and electrostatic interaction with groups of DNA base.

Abstract
An immunosensor is based on the signal measurement obtained upon the reaction of an antibody antigen complex. It plays a significant role in various fields such as environmental analysis, production monitoring, drug detection or screening, veterinary medicine, and animal food. In this study, an antibody crosslinked graphen oxide (GO)-based potentiometric sensor has been developed for fast, simple, and economical detection of clenbuterol. In this context, the photosensitive amino acid bound GO platform is synthesized and used for the preparation of electrode material. Then, polymeric structure is characterized by infrared spectroscopy, and the performance of immunonano platform prepared by potentiometric sensor is evaluated. The effect of pH, response time, selectivity, and sensitivity is investigated. Under the optimized conditions, a simple and rapid method for the determination of clenbuterol from milk sample is established by immuno-potentiometric sensor. The detection limit has found to be 0.87 × 10-9 mmol L-1 for this immuno-potentiometric sensor. This immuno-potentiometric sensor has optimum pH at 7.0, a wide linear response (1.0 × 10-2 to 1.0 × 10-9 mmol L-1 ), rapid response time (2 Min) and 36 weeks operational lifetime.

Abstract
In this study, inhibitory kinetics of Nuciferine and Methyl Ganoderate extrated from Lotus Leaves and Ganoderma lucidum on Mucor miehei Lipase were studied first. The molecular structure of Nuciferine and Methyl Ganoderate were determined. The inhibitory effects of two extracts on lipase were reversible, with the IC50 values of 0.194 and 0.332 mg/mL, respectively. The inhibition kinetic analysis by Lineweaver-Burk plots showed that they were a mixed-type inhibitor of lipase, with inhibition constants KI of 0.16 and 0.29 mg/mL, and KIS of 0.36 and 0.49 mg/mL, respectively. Results of spectral analysis showed that the UV absorption and the molecule fluorescence spectrum of the lipase hydrolyzate were significantly decreased after the inhibitor was added. The molecular docking further suggested that the interaction site between the active substance and inhibitor was located in an α-helix and a β-sheet of the lipase, and the lipase active site was interfered by the inhibitor near the cap structure. In addition, the proliferation and differentiation of 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes were inhibited by two extracts. Total triglycerides and cholesterol were significantly reduced in the cells. The results confirmed that Nuciferine and Methyl Ganoderate can be used as potential obesity treatment drugs.

Abstract
Astringency is an important quality attribute of green tea infusion, and (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the main contributor to astringency. Turbidity was used to predict the intensity of astringency for EGCG. The interactions between the selected proteins and EGCG, and the impacts of temperature, pH, protein structure, and EGCG concentration were studied. Mucin was selected as the protein in study for the prediction of EGCG astringency intensity. A predictive model (R2 = 0.994) was developed based on the relationship between the astringency of EGCG and the turbidity of EGCG/mucin mixtures at pH 5.0 and 37 °C. The fluorescence quenching analyses showed the interactions between EGCG and the selected proteins, which induced the reversible protein molecule conformational changes. The interactions were considered as the main reason that causes the astringency of tea infusions. The results provided a biochemical approach to explore the sensory qualities of green tea.

Abstract
Chinese bayberry leaves proanthocyanidins (BLPs) belongs to the prodelphinidin category with potent EGCG unit, whose inhibition effect on α-amylase and their interaction were investigated by in vitro digestion and enzyme kinetic analysis, multi fluorescence spectroscopies (fluorescence quenching, synchronous fluorescence, and three-dimensional fluorescence), circular dichroism spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and in silico modelling. The results revealed that BLPs was a mixed inhibitor to α-amylase with the IC50 value of 3.075 ± 0.073 μg/mL. BLPs could lead to a static fluorescence quenching of α-amylase, mainly by means of interacting with amino acids (mainly Try and Tyr residues) in one site on α-amylase molecule under the action of hydrogen bonding and/or Van der Waals force. This interaction further induced the change of secondary conformational structure, functional group structure and hydrophobicity of α-amylase, thus resulting in lowering activity. Molecular docking simulated that this binding occurred in a cavity on the surface of the α-amylase molecule, and BLPs trimer showed a relatively high binding energy. The present study provided a new insight of BLPs as an α-amylase inhibitor, which could be considered in anti-diabetic therapy.

Abstract
Polypeptides with finger-like structures can often intercalate into the grooves of DNA, thereby affecting DNA repair or activating gene transcription, both of which are crucial for the regulation of physiological processes. Their conserved amino acid sequence and simple structure have provided useful elements for the design and assembly of functional molecules. In this paper, using the C2H2 zinc finger domain and the PEP-FOLD3 online simulation platform 11 polypeptides containing 22 amino acid residues were designed. In addition, the CD spectroscopy was combined with the fluorescence spectroscopy to study the polypeptide structures and their interaction with DNA. Results showed that although addition of zinc ions affected the polypeptide structure, particularly of the polypeptides A4, B1, and B3, zinc ion was not an essential factor for increasing polypeptide-DNA interactions. Our study revealed an increase in the interaction strength between mutated polypeptides and DNA, suggesting that mutations disrupt polypeptide structure, and polypeptides interact with DNA by groove and electrostatic binding. Mutations at the 12th and 15th amino acid residues had the greatest effect. The stronger binding between A2 or B2 and DNA indicates that the polypeptide has a spatial structure that can stably interact with DNA. The structure and characteristics of these polypeptide domains can provide information for the design and development of new polypeptide functional molecules, which could have potential significance and applications. However, this information also suggests that there are many challenges facing polypeptide design due to the synergistic effects between the side chains of amino acid residues.

Abstract
The wide application of bisphenol A (BPA) leads to the emergence of BPA residuals in natural water environments. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) existed in water can bind with BPA, hence influencing the migration and transformation of BPA in aquatic environments. pH is a crucial factor governing the binding interactions between DOM and BPA. However, the mechanisms driven the binding process under different pH conditions are still unclear. In this study, the interactions between BPA and humic acids (HA), a primary component of DOM, are investigated over a wide pH range of 3-12 by integrating fluorescence quenching, dynamic light scattering and microcalorimetry. pH dependence of the binding interactions between HA and BPA are interpreted from a thermodynamic perspective. The results indicate that HA can spontaneously interact with BPA to form a stable HA-BPA complex. With the increasing pH, the binding interactions change from entropy driven to entropy-enthalpy co-driven. Hydrophobic force dominate the binding interactions under acidic condition. The synergy of hydrophobic force and hydrogen bond promotes the binding process under neutral condition. Under alkaline conditions, electrostatic repulsion participates the binding process in addition to hydrophobic force and hydrogen bond, weakening the binding strength. Therefore, neutral pH is favorable for HA to bind with BPA, consequently enhancing the dissolution of BPA in natural water bodies. The results are beneficial to better understand the pH dependent distribution of BPA in aquatic environments.

Abstract
The novel kojic acid derivatives KAD1 and KAD2 have been demonstrated that they exhibited potent anti-melanogenesis activity in our previous report. In this study, we further study the inhibitory mechanism on mushroom tyrosinase. The inhibitory types of both KADs on diphenolase were classified as mixed type based on the results of the kinetic model. The interaction between KADs and tyrosinase was illustrated by fluorescence quenching, molecular docking and copper chelate activity. The KADs were also evaluated with respect to their antioxidant activities by DPPH and ABTS+ assays. The results showed that KADs have more potent antioxidant activities than kojic acid. Our study could provide new ideas for the development of new anti-tyrosinase and antioxidant agents.

Abstract
Four kinds of flavonoids (apigenin, naringenin, kaempferol, genistein) were skillfully selected to investigate the interaction between flavonoids and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) by multi-spectroscopy analysis and molecular docking. Hydrogenation on C2C3 double bond weakened the affinity of apigenin for β-LG and it's most obvious, followed by hydroxylation of C3 and position isomerism of phenyl ring B. The main interaction force for apigenin and naringenin binding to β-LG (van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds) was different from that of genistein and kaempferol (hydrophobic interactions). Circular dichroism and fluorescence experiments indicated that conformation of β-LG became loose and surface hydrophobicity of β-LG was reduced in the presence of flavonoids. Molecular docking indicated that flavonoids interacted with specific amino acid residues located on the outer surface of β-LG. These findings can provide a deep understanding about the interaction mechanism between flavonoids and protein, and it may be valuable in dairy incorporation with flavonoids.

Abstract
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) constitute an important class of biologically active broad-spectrum antibacterial drugs that are which are in contact with many biological fluids under different acidity conditions. We studied the reactivity of ciprofloxacin (Cpx) and levofloxacin (Lev) and their interaction with lysozyme (Lyz) at different pH values, using UV-visible absorption, fluorescence, infrared spectroscopies supported by DFT calculation and docking. In addition, by antimicrobial assays, the biological consequences of the interaction were evaluated. DFT calculation predicted that the FQ cationic species present at acid pH have lower stabilization energies, with an electric charge rearrangement because of their interactions with solvent molecules. NBO and frontier orbital calculations evidenced the role of two charged centers, NH₂⁺ and COO-, for interactions by electronic delocalization effects. Both FQs bind to Lyz via a static quenching with a higher interaction in neutral medium. The interaction induces a structural rearrangement in β-sheet content while in basic pH a protective effect against the denaturation of Lyz was inferred. The analysis of thermodynamic parameters and docking showed that hydrophobic, electrostatic forces and hydrogen bond are the responsible of Cpx-Lyz and Lev-Lyz associations. Antimicrobial assays evidenced an antagonist effect of Lyz in acid medium while in neutral medium the FQs' activities were not modified by Lyz.

Abstract
In this study, the inhibitory effect and mechanism of rifampicin on the activity of tyrosinase were investigated for developing a novel tyrosinase inhibitor. It was found to have a significant inhibition on the activity of tyrosinase (IC50=90±0.6μM). From the kinetics analysis, it was proved to be a reversible and noncompetitive type inhibitor of the enzyme with the KI value of 94±3.5μM. The results obtained from intrinsic fluorescence quenching indicated that rifampicin could interact with tyrosinase. In particular, the drastic decrease of fluorescence intensity was due to the formation of a rifampicin-enzyme complex in a static procedure which was mainly driven by hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonding. Moreover, the ANS-binding fluorescence analysis suggested that rifampicin binding to tyrosinase changed the polarity of the hydrophobic regions. Molecular docking analysis further revealed that the hydrogen bonds were generated between rifampicin and amino residues Leu7, Ser52, and Glu107 in the B chain of the enzyme. And the hydrophobic forces produced through the interaction of rifampicin with B chain residues Pro9, Pro14, and Trp106. This work identified a novel tyrosinase inhibitor and potentially contributed to the usage of rifampicin as a potential hyperpigmentation drug.

Abstract
It is important to investigate the inhibition of α-glucosidase due to its correlation with type 2 diabetes. Morin was found to exert significant inhibition activity on α-glucosidase in a reversible mixed-type manner with an IC50 value of (4.48 ± 0.04) μM. Analyses of fluorescence and circular dichroism spectra indicated that the formation of the morin-α-glucosidase complex was driven mainly by hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bonding, and caused the conformational changes of α-glucosidase. The phase diagrams of fluorescence showed that the conformational change process was monophasic without intermediates. Molecular docking indicated that morin mainly interacted with amino acid residues located close to the active site of α-glucosidase, which may move to cover the active pocket to reduce the binding of the substrate and then inhibit the catalytic activity. Morin was also found to exhibit inhibition in the generation of advanced glycation end products which was related to the long term complications of diabetes.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels are alternative materials for drug and protein delivery in biomedical applications, which can potentially eliminate the need of surgical implantation in the treatment procedures. Prior to administration, such hydrogels, in a liquid state, must demonstrate good interactions with the incorporated molecules to maintain the sustain release of active agents and to avoid unappreciative burst release. The injectable hydrogels derived from BSA-pH/temperature responsive poly(amino urethane) conjugates have been reported to demonstrated good sustainability for delivery of lysozyme, both in vitro and in vivo. However, the interactions between such conjugates and the loading lysozyme were not fully understood. In this present work, we reported the binding interactions between the studied complex systems, BSA-pH/temperature responsive poly(amino urethane) conjugates (CONJ1 and CONJ2) and lysozyme. Fluorescence spectroscopy in a combination with thermodynamic analysis exhibited that the binding between the conjugates and lysozyme occurred through static quenching and the binding interactions in the complexes were mainly van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonds. The binding constants (KA) determined at 300, 308 and 318K of CONJ1 to lysozyme were 7.96×10(4), 6.45×10(4) and 3.20×10(4)M(-1), respectively and those of CONJ2 to lysozyme were 2.63×10(4), 2.53×10(4) and 1.19×10(4)M(-1), respectively. FTIR analysis showed that the complexes between the conjugates and lysozyme demonstrated sufficiently small deviation in the conformational structures from the native lysozyme. In addition, the morphology revealed by TEM and AFM imaging portrayed the behavior of complex formation in such a way that the conjugates, before complex formation, displayed the core-shell structures. After the complex formation, a number of lysozyme particles were noticeably entrapped as if they penetrated into the preformed core-shell conjugates.

Abstract
The reaction mechanism of cefpirome sulfate with lysozyme at different temperatures (298, 310 and 318 K) was investigated using fluorescence quenching and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy under simulated physiological conditions. The results clearly demonstrated that cefpirome sulfate caused strong quenching of the fluorescence of lysozyme by a static quenching mechanism. The binding constants obtained using the above methods were of the same order of magnitude and very similar. Static electric forces played a key role in the interaction between cefpirome sulfate and lysozyme, and the number of binding sites in the interaction was close to 1. The values of Hill's coefficients were > 1, indicating that drugs or proteins showed a very weakly positive cooperativity in the system. In addition, the conclusions obtained from the two methods using the same equation were consistent. The results indicated that synchronous fluorescence spectrometry could be used to study the binding mechanism between drug and protein, and was a useful supplement to the fluorescence quenching method. In addition, the effect of cefpirome sulfate on the secondary structure of lysozyme was analyzed using circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Abstract
The impacts of rutin and baicalin on the interaction of curcumin (CU) with human serum albumin (HSA) were investigated by fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies under imitated physiological conditions. The results showed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by CU was a simultaneous static and dynamic quenching process, irrespective of the presence or absence of flavonoids. The binding constants between CU and HSA in the absence and presence of rutin and baicalin were 2.268×10(5)M(-1), 3.062×10(5)M(-1), and 3.271×10(5)M(-1), indicating that the binding affinity was increased in the case of two flavonoids. Furthermore, the binding distance determined according to Förster's theory was decreased in the presence of flavonoids. Combined with the fact that flavonoids and CU have the same binding site (site I), it can be concluded that they may simultaneously bind in different regions in site I, and formed a ternary complex of flavonoid-HSA-CU. Meanwhile, the results of fluorescence quenching, CD and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra revealed that flavonoids further strengthened the microenvironmental and conformational changes of HSA induced by CU binding. Therefore, it is possible to develop a novel complex involving CU, flavonoid and HSA for CU delivery. The work may provide some valuable information in terms of improving the poor bioavailabiliy of CU.

Abstract
The interaction between heparin (Hep) and lysozyme (Lyso) in vitro was studied by fluorescence, UV-vis, circular dichroism (CD), resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM) under normal physiological conditions. UV-vis spectra of Lyso showed the absorbance was significantly increased with the addition of Hep. Fluorescence studies revealed that the emission quenching of Lyso with Hep was initiated by static quenching mechanism. CD spectral studies showed that Hep induced conformational changes in the secondary structure of Lyso. RRS spectra of Lyso showed the intensity of scattering was significantly increased with the addition of Hep and the enhanced RRS intensities were proportional to the concentration of Hep in a certain range. Thus, a new RRS method using Lyso as a probe could be used for the determination of Hep. The detection limit for Hep was 3.9 ng mL(-1). In addition, the shape of the complex was characterized by AFM. The possible reaction mechanism and the reasons for the enhancement of RRS intensity had been discussed through experimental results.

Abstract
The interaction between two ruthenium(II) arene complexes of curcumin analogs and human serum albumin (HSA) was systematically investigated by multispectroscopic techniques. The fluorescence spectral results indicated that two complexes quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through static quenching mode. The quenching constants and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters at different temperatures were calculated. The binding interactions of two complexes with HSA resulted in the complex formation of complex-HSA, and the van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bond interactions played major roles in the complex stabilization. The distances between HSA and two complexes were obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer theory. The site competitive replacement experiments illustrated that two complexes mainly bounded with HSA on site I. The results of synchronous fluorescence spectra, three-dimensional fluorescence spectra, FT-IR spectra, and circular dichroism spectra indicated that the secondary structure of HSA was changed at the present of two complexes. The results of mass spectrometry further validated the binding interaction and the binding number between two complexes and HSA.

Abstract
The interaction of drospirenone (DP) with human serum albumin (HSA)/lysozyme (LYZ) was investigated using different optical techniques and molecular models. Results from the emission and time resolved fluorescence studies revealed that HSA/LYZ emission quenching with DP was initiated by static quenching mechanism. The LYZ-DP system was more easily influenced by temperature than the HSA-DP system. Displacement experiments demonstrated that the DP binding site was mainly located in site 1 of HSA. Based on the docking methods, DP was mainly bound in the active site hinge region where Trp-62 and Trp-63 are located. Conformation study showed that DP had different effects on the local conformation of HSA and LYZ molecules.

Abstract
The binding of isorhamnetin to bovine liver catalase (BLC) was first investigated at 302, 310 and 318 K at pH 7.4 using spectroscopic methods including fluorescence spectra, circular dichroism (CD) and UV-vis absorption. Spectrophotometric observations are rationalized mainly in terms of a static quenching process. The binding constants and binding sites were evaluated by fluorescence quenching methods. Enzymatic activity of BLC in the absence and presence of isorhamnetin was measured using a UV/vis spectrophotometer. The result revealed that the binding of isorhamnetin to BLC led to a reduction in the activity of BLC. The positive entropy change and enthalpy change indicated that the interaction of isorhamnetin with BLC was mainly driven by hydrophobic forces. The distance r between the donor (BLC) and acceptor (isorhamnetin) was estimated to be 2.99 nm according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, and CD spectra showed no obvious change in the conformation of BLC upon the binding of isorhamnetin. In addition, the influence of pH on the binding of isorhamnetin to BLC was investigated and the binding ability of the drug to BLC deceased under other pH conditions (pH 9.0, 6.5, 5.0, 3.5, or 2.0) as compared with that at pH 7.4.

Abstract
Aristolochic acid (AA) is a potent carcinogen and nephrotoxin and is associated with the development of "Chinese herb nephropathy" and Balkan endemic nephropathy. Despite decades of research, the specific mechanism of the observed nephrotoxicity has remained elusive and the potential effects on proteins due to the observed toxicity of AA are not well-understood. To better understand the pharmacotoxicological features of AA, we investigated the non-covalent interactions of AA with proteins. The protein-binding properties of AA with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme were characterized using spectrofluorometric and mass spectrometric (MS) techniques. Moreover, the protein-AA complexes were clearly identified by high-resolution MS analyses. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first direct evidence of non-covalently bound protein-AA complexes. An analysis of the spectrofluorometric data by a modified Stern-Volmer plot model also revealed that both aristolochic acid I (AAI) and aristolochic acid II (AAII) were bound to BSA and lysozyme in 1:1 stoichiometries. A significantly stronger protein binding property was observed in AAII than in AAI as evidenced by the spectrofluorometric and MS analyses, which may explain the observed higher mutagenicity of AAII.
