Effect of thermal treatment on the molecular-level interactions and antioxidant activities in β-casein and chlorogenic acid complexes

Zhucheng Yin et al.

Summary: The study found that chlorogenic acid binds to beta-casein mainly through hydrophobic interactions, with thermal treatment reducing the binding affinity between them but not affecting the secondary structure of beta-casein. Additionally, no covalent bond was observed in the complexes formed, and a synergistic effect was observed between beta-casein and chlorogenic acid in the assessment of antioxidant capacity in FRAP, while an antagonistic effect was seen in ABTS.

Non-covalent interaction of soy protein isolate and catechin: Mechanism and effects on protein conformation

Shicheng Dai et al.

Summary: Understanding the interaction mechanism between proteins and polyphenols is crucial for the application of protein-polyphenol compounds in food. This study showed that non-covalent modification of soy protein isolate (SPI) with catechin resulted in aggregation and network-like structure formation. The increased catechin concentration caused SPI to become looser and more disordered, with an opened internal structure and exposed hydrophobic groups. The main forces between SPI and catechin were found to be hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds.

Interaction mechanism of flavonoids and Tartary buckwheat bran protein: A fluorescence spectroscopic and 3D-QSAR study

Yuandong Yu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the binding mechanisms between Tartary buckwheat bran protein (TBBP) and flavonoids.
