Plant-derived phenolics as natural α-glucosidase (α-GLU) inhibitors have attached great attention in the treatment of type-II diabetes mellitus currently. In this study, trans-polydatin and its aglycone resveratrol were found to show a notable inhibitory activity on α-GLU in a mixed-type manner with IC values of 18.07 and 16.73 μg/mL, respectively, which were further stronger than anti-diabetic drug acrabose (IC = 179.86 μg/mL). Multi-spectroscopic analysis results indicated that polydatin/resveratrol bound to α-GLU with one affinity binding site which was mainly driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, and this binding process resulted in conformational alteration of α-GLU. In silico docking study showed that polydatin/resveratrol can well interact with the surrounding amino acid residues in the active cavity of α-GLU. Molecular dynamics simulation further clarified the structure and characterization of α-GLU-polydatin/resveratrol complexes. This study might supply a theoretical basis for the designing of novel functional foods with polydatin/resveratrol.

Apo-transferrin (apo-TRF) is a vital protein for maintaining iron balance in the body, which is produced by the liver. Indisulam (IDM) has been extensively used to treat cancer in clinical study and has been identified as a molecular glue. Iron imbalances in the body are believed to encourage the growth and spread of cancer cells.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how hydrothermal temperatures (180, 220, and 260 °C) affect the molecular characteristics and copper (Cu(II)) binding properties of dissolved organic matter from hydrochar (HDOM).
- As the temperature increased, HDOM molecules became less polar and more hydrophobic, with changes in average molecular weight and composition, notably a rise in aromatic compounds.
- The findings indicate that Cu(II) binding is influenced by temperature and concentration, where fluorescent components bind at lower concentrations and non-fluorescent substances at higher levels, enhancing understanding of Cu(II) environmental behavior after hydrochar application.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how modifying soybean protein through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis (CEH) affects the release of off-flavors, particularly aldehydes, which impact food sensory qualities.
- CEH treatment caused structural changes in soybean protein isolate (SPI), reducing aldehyde release by exposing binding sites that limit aldehyde volatility.
- Various analytical techniques showed that non-covalent and covalent interactions play key roles in this process, providing insights into the mechanisms behind the reduced release of off-flavor compounds.

Phenolic compounds are popular in screening novel hypoglycemic agents, but the impact of oxidative degradation on the determination of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and bioavailability is unclear. Here we showed 12 phenolic compounds structure-dependently degraded during standard simulated digestion, while in physiological hypoxia their retention rates were all over 87.89 %.

The subject of this study is the interaction between 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrin (TSPP), a potential photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy (PDT) and radiotherapy, and human serum albumin (HSA), a crucial protein in the body. The main objective was to investigate the binding mechanisms, structural changes, and potential implications of these interactions for drug delivery and therapeutic applications. Spectroscopic techniques and computational methods were employed to investigate the mechanism and effects of TSPP binding by HSA.
