Our recently published in vivo studies and growing evidence suggest that moderate consumption of beer possesses several health benefits, including antioxidant and cardiovascular effects. Although beer contains phenolic acids and flavonoids as the major composition, and upon consumption, the levels of major components increase in the blood, there is no report on how these beer components interact with main human serum proteins. Thus, to address the interaction potential between beer components and human serum proteins, the present study primarily aims to investigate the components of beer from different industrial sources as well as their mode of interaction through in silico analysis. The contents of the bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacities and their influence on binding properties of the main serum proteins in human metabolism (human serum albumin (HSA), plasma circulation fibrinogen (PCF), C-reactive protein (CRP) and glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3)) were studied. In vitro and in silico studies indicated that phenolic substances presented in beer interact with the key regions of the proteins to enhance their antioxidant and health properties. We hypothesize that moderate consumption of beer could be beneficial for patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) and other health advantages by regulating the serum proteins.
