The interaction mechanism and binding properties were investigated. It was found that the binding capacities of flavonoids to Lys were highly depend on the number and position of hydrogen, the kind and position of glycosyl.

Methods: The electronic structure of QHS and its derivatives were completely optimized and calculated at B3LYP/6-31G * level, while the route was at HF/STO-3G level.
Results: The peroxide bridge is the active center of QHS and induced by ferrous iron to produce cyclic product.
