AB  - Common to all biological systems and living organisms are molecular interactions, which
may lead to specific physiological events. Most often, a cascade of events occurs, establishing an equilibrium between possibly competing and/or synergistic processes. Biochemical pathways that sustain life depend on multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to aging and/or diseases. This article deals with food antioxidants and human proteins from the circulation, their interaction, their effect on the structure, properties, and function of antioxidant-bound proteins, and the possible impact of complex formation on antioxidants. An overview of studies examining interactions between individual antioxidant compounds and major blood proteins is presented with findings. Investigating antioxidant/protein interactions at the level of the human organism and determining antioxidant distribution between proteins and involvement in the particular physiological role is a very complex and challenging task. However, by knowing the role of a particular protein in certain pathology or aging, and the effect exerted by a particular antioxidant bound to it, it is possible to recommend specific food intake or resistance to it to improve the condition or slow down the process.

AB  - The Zn(II) complexes [Zn(HLSe2)2](NO3)2∙CH3OH (2-NO3-Se) and [Zn(HLSe3)2](NO3)2·DMF (3-NO3-Se) with selenazolyl-hydrazone ligands 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)-1,3-selenazole (HLSe2) and 4-(4-methylphenyl)-2-(2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)-1,3-selenazole (HLSe3) have been synthesized and characterized using singe crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Antiproliferative activities of 2-NO3-Se and 3-NO3-Se, the corresponding ligands and sulphur isosteres of the complexes and the ligands were determined on non-malignant HTR-8/SVneo extravillous trophoblast cell line and malignant JEG-3 and JAr choriocarcinoma cell lines. All Zn complexes exhibited cytotoxic effect, comparable to that of a reference metal-based drug, cisplatin. The antioxidant activity of all compounds was determined in three antioxidant assays: ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), ABTS [(2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] and CERAC [Ce(IV)-based reducing capacity]. As a result of synergy between Zn(II) and selenazolyl-hydrazone ligands, the complexes 2-NO3-Se and 3-NO3-Se appeared to be more active than Trolox, which is not the case for their sulfur counterparts. In-silico calculations of ADME properties pointed that the compounds possess some of desirable Lipinski rule principles. Applied algorithms did not report the compounds as potential PAINS or covalent inhibitors, although due to high molecular weight none of the compounds represent a potential lead compound. Toxicity prediction of the compounds is performed using machine learning models. The complexation of the ligands most likely reduces their toxicity or reduces their negative metabolic effects.

AB  - Bilirubin is a tetrapyrrole, yellow pigment, and it is a degradation productcreated in heme metabolism. This molecule is predominantly present inits unconjugated form in circulation, and it is mainly bound to humanserum albumin. The presence of small amounts of free, unconjugatedbilirubin enables its interactions with other circulation components. Inconditions like Gilbert syndrome or diabetes, the concentration ofunconjugated bilirubin increases in the blood, making other interactingpartners from circulation more important for its metabolism. In the liver,bilirubin is converted to conjugated form, which is then excreted fromthe organism. While the significant increase of bilirubin is toxic, researchsuggests that small increases may be beneficial since bilirubin hasantioxidative and anticancer potential. In this chapter, interactions ofbilirubin with several proteins will be described together with the effectsof these interactions on the protein’s structure and function.

AB  - The French paradox describes a lower incidence of cardiovascular problems despite a high intake of saturated fats. This phenomenon was associated with higher consumption of red wine, only to be later discovered that the presence of several antioxidants, including resveratrol, are responsible for it. We investigated if resveratrol has a more direct role in protection from harmful oxidation and development of thrombosis, presumably through binding to important proteins of the blood coagulation process. Spectrofluorimetric analysis demonstrated binding of resveratrol to fibrinogen, the main protein in the coagulation process, which also has an important application as a food additive in making of fibrin gels. Various spectroscopic methods have demonstrated that binding of resveratrol does not unfold or destabilize fibrinogen since both near and far-UV CD spectra as well as its melting temperature remained unchanged. A mutually protective effect against the free radical-induced oxidation of resveratrol and fibrinogen was found. The presence of fibrinogen caused a very small masking effect of the antioxidative potential of resveratrol, measured by a reduction of hexacyanoferrate (III), while greatly increasing its solubility in an aqueous environment, thus increasing potential bioavailability and activity of resveratrol in circulation. By direct interaction and protection of fibrinogen, resveratrol may serve as an important antioxidant for prevention of thrombosis. The antioxidative effect of resveratrol may also protect and thus keep the desired characteristics of fibrinogen during the application of this protein as a food additive.

AB  - In this study, the interaction between clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic drug, and alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2M), a multipurpose anti-proteinase, was investigated under simulated (patho) physiological conditions using multiple spectroscopic techniques and molecular modeling. It was found that α2M binds clozapine with a moderate affinity (the binding constant of 0.9 × 105 M−1 at 37 °C). The preferable binding site for both clozapine's atropisomers was revealed to be a large pocket at the interface of C and D monomer subunits of the protein. Hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic effect were proposed as dominant forces in complex formation. The binding of clozapine did not induce significant conformational change of the protein, as confirmed by virtually unaltered α2M secondary structure and anti-proteinase activity. However, both clozapine and α2M shielded each other from the deleterious influence of strong oxidants: sodium hypochlorite and 2,2′-azobis-2-methyl-propanimidamide dihydrochloride (AAPH). Moreover, clozapine in a concentration range that is usually targeted in the plasma during patients' treatment effectively protected the anti-proteinase activity of α2M under AAPH-induced free radical overproduction. Our results suggest that the cooperation between α2M and clozapine may be a path by which these two molecules synergistically protect neural tissue against injury caused by disturbed proteostasis or oxidative stress.

AB  - The binding of a popular food supplement and well-known antioxidant, dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid (DHLA) to human serum albumin (HSA) was characterised. The binding was monitored by several spectroscopic methods together with the molecular docking approach. HSA was able to bind DHLA with moderate affinity, 1.00±0.05×104 M-1. Spectroscopic data demonstrated that the preferential binding site for DHLA on HSA is IIA (Sudlow I). Both experimental and molecular docking analysis identified electrostatic (salt bridges) and hydrogen bonds as the key interactions involved in DHLA binding to HSA. Molecular docking confirmed that the Sudlow I site could accommodate DHLA and that the ligand is bound to the protein in a specific conformation. The molecular dynamic simulation showed that the formed complex is stable. Binding of DHLA does not affect the structure of the protein, but it thermally stabilises HSA. Bound DHLA had no effect on the susceptibility of HSA to trypsin digestion. Since DHLA is a commonly used food supplement, knowledge of its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic properties in an organism is very important. This study further expands it by providing a detailed analysis of its interaction with HSA, the primary drug transporter in the circulation.

AB  - Fibrinogen is a plasma protein that is highly susceptible to oxidation. Because of this chemical modification, fibrinogen acquires thrombogenic characteristics under different pathophysiological conditions. Increased carbonyl content and reduced porosity impair the degradation of formed fibrin mediated by plasmin. Fibrinogen is capable of interacting with many proteins, ions, and small molecules. These interactions can modify the functions of this protein. The discovery of new binding partners that may protect fibrinogen from harmful oxidation and, thus, preserve its normal function is essential. Some of the newly detected interactions between fibrinogen and small, natural bioactive molecules, together with the influence of these interactions on the structure and function of fibrinogen, will be presented in this text.

AB  - Diagnostic evaluation of specific antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus is mainly based on spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Despite the critical functions in virus infection and contribution to the pattern of immunodominance in COVID-19, exploitation of the most abundant membrane (M) protein in the SARS-CoV-2 serology tests is minimal. This study investigated the recombinant M protein’s immunoreactivity with the sera from COVID-19 convalescents. In silico designed protein was created from the outer N-terminal part (19 aa) and internal C-terminal tail (101–222 aa) of the M protein (YP_009724393.1) and was recombinantly produced and purified. The designed M protein (16,498.74 Da, pI 8.79) revealed both IgM and IgG reactivity with serum samples from COVID-19 convalescents in Western blot. In ELISA, more than 93% (28/30) of COVID-19 sera were positive for IgM detection, and more than 96% (29/30) were positive for specific IgG detection to M protein. Based on the capacity to provoke an immune response and its strong antigenic properties, as shown here, and the fact that it is also involved in the virion entry into host cells, the M protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a good antigen has the potential in diagnostic purposes and vaccine design.
