This review summarizes the mechanisms of interaction between proteins/peptides and anthocyanins, based on computational approaches, and discusses the current limitations of these methods and suggests possible solutions.
Anthocyanins, which belong to the flavonoid group, are commonly found in the organs of plants native to South and Central America. However, these pigments are unstable under conditions of varying pH, heat, etc., which limits their potential applications. One method for preserving the stability of anthocyanins is through encap-sulation using proteins or peptides. Nevertheless, the complex and diverse structure of these molecules, as well as the limitation of experimental technologies, have hindered a comprehensive understanding of the encapsulation processes and the mechanisms by which stability is enhanced. To address these challenges, computational methods, such as molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation have been used to study the binding affinity and dynamics of interactions between proteins/peptides and anthocyanins. This review summarizes the mechanisms of interaction between these systems, based on computational approaches, and highlights the role of proteins and peptides in the stability enhancement of anthocyanins. It also discusses the current limitations of these methods and suggests possible solutions.
