Binding Mechanism Between Iron‐Related Proteins (Catalase and Transferrin) and Favipiravir

ChemistrySelect, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 10(7)

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

Abstract The study of protein‐drug interactions has become important in describing drug properties. Favipiravir ( Fav ) is an RNA polymerase inhibitor used to treat a wide range influenza viruses. This drug, which taken orally, can be quickly and widely absorbed the body. Here, interaction with two Fe‐related proteins, Catalase (CAT) Transferrin (TF), was investigated by spectroscopic molecular docking methods. results showed that strongly interact Fe‐proteins quench their intrinsic fluorescence through static mechanism. affinity CAT TF almost close each other order 10 6 M −1 K b = 9.54 × for ‐TF 10.71 ‐CAT at 310 K). binding proteins changed conformation some extent stability decreased. Molecular best site on both along types involved. Hydrogen bonds van der Waals were predominant forces observed between proteins. Accessible surface area supports successful CAT.

Effect of muscle relaxant drug chlorzoxazone on the conformational stability and activity of bovine serum albumin: a spectroscopic and computational study

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 12

Published: March 26, 2025

The commonly used muscle relaxant chlorzoxazone (CZZ) is basic in nature and binds to acidic alpha-1-glycoprotein, affecting the levels of albumins as well lipoproteins body. This can impact biological half-life drug interfere with its therapeutic requirements. Herein, we have shown CZZ on structure bovine serum albumin (BSA), a transport protein, through various spectroscopic techniques like UV-vis absorption, steady state emission, synchronous fluorescence, also circular dichroism (CD). Fluorescence results reveal contribution hydrogen bonding van der Waal forces for formation complex. Site marker experiments were performed using ibuprofen indomethacin site I II BSA, respectively, understand competitive binding. UV-visible show decrease absorbance BSA by subsequent addition hypsochromic shift spectra. CD an increase BSA's α-helical content presence CZZ, indicating higher folding protein's secondary structure. Computational analysis molecular docking MD simulations validates binding hence, support experimental findings.

In Silico Structural and Functional Insight into the Binding Interactions of the Modeled Structure of Watermelon Urease with Urea

ACS Omega, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(2), P. 2272 - 2285

Published: Dec. 30, 2023

Urease (EC 3.5.1.5) is an amidohydrolase. This nickel-dependent metalloenzyme converts urea into NH3 and CO2. Despite their vital role in plants, the structure function of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) urease are unknown. We used third- fourth-generation gene prediction algorithms to annotate C. lanatus sequence this investigation. The solved from Canavalia ensiformis (PDB ID: 4GY7) was utilized as a template model identify target 3-D unknown for first time. Cluretox, intrinsic disordered area identical Jaburetox, also found. docked with study atom interaction, amino acid interactions, binding analyses urease–urea complex at 3.5 Å. found that acids His517, Gly548, Asp631, Ala634, Thr569, His543, Met635, His407, His490, Ala438 bind urea. To molecular basis mode action urease, dynamics simulation performed RMSD, RMSF, Rg, SAS, H-bond were done. calculated free energy (ΔG) urea–urease 100 ns using MM/PBSA method −7.61 kJ/mol. Understanding its catalytic principles helps scientists construct more efficient enzymes, tailor fertilization boost agricultural output, create sustainable waste management solutions.

This study investigates the interaction between daphnetin and ovalbumin (OVA) as well its potential to inhibit OVA fibrillation using both spectroscopic computational analysis. A moderate binding affinity of 1 × 104 M–1 was observed daphnetin, with a static quenched mechanism identified during fluorescence quenching processes. Metal ions' (Cu2+ Zn2+) presence led an increase in affinities toward OVA, mirroring similar trend pH variation. Synchronous 3D studies indicated polarity microenvironment surrounding Trp residues binding. Interestingly, circular dichroism Fourier transform infrared showed significant change secondary structure upon daphnetin.
