Article Synopsis
- Arachin (ARA) is a protein and resveratrol (RES) is a bioactive compound found in peanuts, and their interaction was studied to understand how they affect each other on a molecular level.
- Using multispectral analysis and computational chemistry, researchers found that RES can quench ARA's intrinsic fluorescence and that their interaction is endothermic, spontaneous, and driven mainly by hydrophobic forces.
- Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that specific amino acids play a key role in the strong affinity between ARA and RES, and the study's findings support potential food industry applications for their complex.
