Serum protein glycation and formation of advanced glycation end products (AGES) correlates with many diseases viz, diabetes signifying the importance of studying the glycation pattern of serum proteins. In our present study, methylglyoxal was investigated for its effect on the structure of human serum albumin (HSA); exploring the formation of AGEs and aggregates of HSA. The analytical tools employed includes intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence, UV spectroscopy, far UV circular dichroism, Thioflavin T fluorescence, congo red binding, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). UV and fluorescence spectroscopy revealed the structural transition of native HSA evident by new peaks and increased absorbance in UV spectra and quenched fluorescence in the presence of MG. Far UV CD spectroscopy revealed MG induced secondary structural alteration evident by reduced alpha-helical content. AGES formation was confirmed by AGEs specific fluorescence. Increased ThT fluorescence and CR absorbance of 10 mM MG incubated HSA suggests that glycated HSA results in the formation of aggregates of HSA. SEM and TEM were reported to have an insight of these aggregates. Molecular docking was also utilized to see site specific interaction of MG-HSA. This study is clinically significant as HSA is a clinically relevant protein which plays a crucial role in many diseases. (C)2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
