AB  - Blue C-phycocyanin (C-PC), the major Spirulina protein with innumerable
health-promoting benefits, is an attractive colourant and food supplement. A crucial obstacle to its
more extensive use is its relatively low stability. This study aimed to screen various food-derived
ligands for their ability to bind and stabilise C-PC, utilising spectroscopic techniques and molecular
docking. Among twelve examined ligands, the protein fluorescence quenching revealed that
only quercetin, coenzyme Q10 and resveratrol had a moderate affinity to C-PC (Ka of 2.2 to 3.7 × 105
M–1). Docking revealed these three ligands bind more strongly to the C-PC hexamer than the trimer,
with the binding sites located at the interface of two (αβ)3 trimers. UV/VIS absorption spectroscopy
demonstrated the changes in the C-PC absorption spectra in a complex with quercetin
and resveratrol compared to the spectra of free protein and ligands. Selected ligands did not affect
the secondary structure content, but they induced changes in the tertiary protein structure in the
CD study. A fluorescence-based thermal stability assay demonstrated quercetin and coenzyme Q10
increased the C-PC melting point by nearly 5 °C. Our study identified food-derived ligands that
interact with C-PC and improve its thermal stability, indicating their potential as stabilising agents
for C-PC in the food industry.

AB  - Under simulated physiological conditions, this study investigates the interaction between nutraceutical phycocyanobilin (PCB) and the universal anti-protease protein human alpha-2-macroglobulin (a2M). Extensive molecular docking analyses on multiple a2M conformations, spectroscopic techniques, and a2M activity assays were utilized to examine the complex formation. The results revealed that for every protein conformation, two high energy binding sites exist: the first, conformationally independent, at the interface region between two monomer chains and the second, conformationally dependent, in the pocket composed of amino acids from four distinct domains (TED, RBD, CUB, and MG2) of the single protein chain. Spectrofluorimetric measurements indicated a moderate affinity between a2M and PCB with a moderately high binding constant of 6.3 x 10^5 M^-1 at 25 °C. The binding of PCB to a2M resulted in minor changes in the secondary structure content of a2M. Furthermore, PCB protected a2M from oxidation and preserved its anti-protease activity in the oxidative environment. These findings suggest that PCB binding could indirectly impact the body’s response to oxidative stress by influencing a2M’s role in controlling enzyme activity during the inflammatory process.

AB  - Human transferrin (Tf) is a bilobal 76 kDa iron-binding glycoprotein present in human
serum. Each lobe has the ability to bind one ferric ion (Fe3+) and a single synergistic
bicarbonate anion. The main role of Tf is to transport Fe3+ ions through the circulation to
cells, via interaction with transferrin receptor (TFR) on the cell surface. Previously
described methods for Tf isolation and purification are either very time-consuming or
provide Tf of lower final purity. Here we describe a fast and simple FPLC method for the
isolation and purification of Tf from human serum. Serum samples were prepared by
precipitation, while protein purification was performed on FPLC system, using an anionexchange
column. Several different buffers at the same pH were tested. Tf purified by this
method was analyzed by Western blot, followed by immunodetection, as well as with
silver staining after SDS PAGE. Its functionality was tested with respect to iron-binding
capacity (ferozzine method) and its ability to interact with TFR by immunofluorescent
staining. The conformation of purified Tf was analyzed by recording intrinsic fluorescent
emmision spectra originating from Trp residues. The method itself is highly reproducible
(intra- and interday), easy to perform (only two steps) and fast (under an hour), yielding
98% to 99% pure Tf with all buffers. Purified Tf was shown to have retained its ironbinding
capacity, as well as the ability to interact with TFR. Purified Tf also retained its
native three-dimensional structure. Described method for the isolation and purification of
Tf is fast, simple and highly reproducible, yielding a functional Tf of high purity in its
native state while offering the flexibility of using different buffer systems. All of these
features make this protocol a method of choice for the isolation and purification of Tf on a
semi-preparative scale.

AB  - Vaccinium myrtillus L. (bilberry, Ericaceae), a perennial, wild, and small deciduous shrub that grows in the mountains and forests of Europe. The leaf extracts are widely used in traditional medicine due to their astringent, antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and hypoglycemic activities. Microwave-assisted extraction provides various benefits, including reducing solvent consumption and extraction time and increasing extraction yield. In the present study, bilberry extracts were prepared using dried leaves, pure ethanol, or an ethanol-water mixture, and different temperatures in a microwave reactor (60, 100, and 160 ◦C). The extracts were examined in terms of total polyphenol content (TPC) and antioxidant activity. The TPC of the 96% ethanol extracts rose with the increase of the extraction temperature; the extract obtained at 60 ◦C (37.2 ± 0.5 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g of plant material)<the extract at 100 ◦C (46.6 ± 0.3 GAE/g)<the extract at 160 ◦C (55.1 ± 0.5 mg/g). The TPC of the 50% ethanol extract prepared at 60 ◦C was significantly lower (54.9 ± 1.0 mg GAE/g) in comparison to the extracts obtained at 100 and 160 ◦C (58.3 ± 1.0 and 58.0 ± 1.5 mg GAE/g, respectively). ABTS antioxidant capacity was higher in the 50% ethanol extracts compared to 96% ethanol parallels, while in the DPPH assay, there was no statistically significant difference between the 50 and 96% ethanol extracts. Due to higher TPC and anti-ABTS activity and reduced consumption of organic solvent, a 50% ethanol extract of V. myrtillus was favored, while the optimal temperature was 60 ◦C for the extract with the highest antioxidant capacity and 100 ◦C for the extract with the highest amount of polyphenols.

AB  - Vaccinium myrtillus leaf waste extracts were prepared using lactic acid+amonium acetate and maceration, heat- and ultrasound-assisted extractions (HAE and UAE, respectively). The obtained extracts were characterized via analysis of total polyphenol content (TPC), pH, zeta potential, conductivity, density, surface tension, viscosity, and antioxidant potential. The TPC was the highest in the extract prepared in HAE (53.0±0.9 mg GAE/g), whereas the extracts from maceration and UAE possessed significantly lower TPC (50.4±0.7 and 49.5±0.4 mg GAE/g). The ABTS radical scavenging potential was the highest in the extract prepared in HAE (38.4±1.1 µmol TE/g), followed by the extract obtained using UAE (33.7±1.5 µmol TE/g) and maceration (30.2±1.7 µmol TE/g). The DPPH antioxidant capacity followed the same trend: HAE>UAE>maceration. The zeta potential was low in all extracts (2.66±0.48 mV for macerate, 2.57±0.20 mV for HAE, and 3.17±0.13 mV for UAE), while the conductivity was in the range of 1.87±0.13 and 1.84±0.11 mS/cm (maceration and HAE) to 2.10±0.11 mS/cm (UAE). The density varied from 1.105±0.009 g/mL for macerate to 1.122±0.006 and 1.117±0.001 g/mL for HAE and UAE extracts. There were no statistically significant differences in the surface tension and viscosity (~23.5 mN/m and ~5.5 mPa∙s). The highest TPC and antioxidant potential were measured in the extract obtained using HAE, whereas the extract prepared by ultrasound waves possessed the highest zeta potential and conductivity. Therefore, the extraction technique should be chosen depending on the future application of V. myrtillus extract.

AB  - Vaccinium myrtillus L.(Ericaceae), a perennial, wild, and small deciduous shrub that grows in the mountains and forests of Europe, contains anthocyanins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, fatty acids, stilbenes, iridoid glycosides, dietary fibers, vitamins, and minerals. The leaves' extracts are widely used in traditional medicine due to their astringent, antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, skin-rejuvenating, lipid-lowering, hypolipidemic, and hypoglycemic activities. The novel extraction techniques, including ultrasound-assisted extraction, provide various benefits, such as reducing solvent consumption and extraction time and increasing extraction yield, and quality. Hence, in the present study, V. myrtillus extracts were prepared using dried leaves (0.66 g), 50% ethanol as the extraction solvent (20 mL), and maceration (60 min) or ultrasound-assisted extraction (ultrasound probe, amplitude of 60% for 5 min). The obtained extracts were examined in terms of total polyphenol content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (ABTS, DPPH, FRAP, and CUPRAC assays). The TPC of the extract prepared using maceration was 55.2±0.7 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g of plant material, while the TPC of the extract prepared using an ultrasound probe was 55.6±1.0 mg GAE/g. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of the extracts correlated with the TPC and amounted to 1.81±0.05 mg/mL for macerate and 1.79±0.02 mg/mL for the extract obtained using an ultrasound probe, whereas ABTS antioxidant capacity did not correlate with the polyphenol concentration, 31.4±0.9 µmol Trolox equivalents (TE)/g for the macerate and 43.4±1.1 µmol TE/g for the extract from the ultrasound-assisted extraction. According to the results of FRAP and CUPRAC assays, the antioxidant potential was similar for both extracts (15.3±0.2 and 15.5±0.2 µmol Fe2+/g and 45.7±0.5 and 46.0±0.7 µmol TE/g, respectively). Due to higher ABTS radical scavenging potential and significantly shorter extraction time, V. myrtillus extract prepared using an ultrasound probe was favored. The present research was an initial step in the preparation of V. myrtillus extracts which can be potentially implemented in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations.

AB  - Thymus serpyllum L. (wild thyme) extracts were prepared using 1 g of plant material and three natural deep eutectic solvents (30 mL, malic acid+maltose, lactic acid+menthol, or citric acid+glycerol with 50% of water) in maceration (90 min). The extracts were characterized in terms of total polyphenol content (TPC), total protein content, extraction yield, zeta potential, conductivity, pH, density, surface tension, and viscosity. TPC was the highest in citric acid+glycerol extract (35.06±1.13 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g of plant material), whereas malic acid+maltose and lactic acid+menthol extracts possessed similar TPC (29.62±1.11 and 28.94±1.15 mg GAE/g, respectively). Total protein content amounted to 5.55±0.20 mg/g in citric acid+glycerol extract, while significantly lower values were determined in malic acid+maltose and lactic acid+menthol extracts (1.22±0.30 and 1.73±0.18 mg/g, respectively). The extraction yield was the highest for citric acid+glycerol extract, 1.57±0.11%, followed by malic acid+maltose and lactic acid+menthol extracts, 1.28±0.10 and 1.27±0.13%, respectively. Zeta potential (absolute value, as a predictor of potential application in water treatment) was low in all extracts (0.86±0.06 mV for citric acid+glycerol, -0.35±0.09 mV for lactic acid+menthol, and -0.17±0.05 mV for malic acid+maltose extract). The conductivity (as a predictor of antioxidant capacity) was in the range of 2.35±0.21 and 2.71±0.29 mS/cm (citric acid+glycerol and malic acid+maltose extracts) to 5.70±0.23 mS/cm (lactic acid+menthol extract). pH ranged from 1.44 in citric acid+glycerol extract to 1.78 and 1.85 in malic acid+maltose and lactic acid+menthol extracts. Density varied from 1.067±0.003 g/mL for lactic acid+menthol extract to 1.169±0.002 and 1.195±0.005 g/mL for citric acid+glycerol and malic acid+maltose extracts. Surface tension was the highest in citric acid+glycerol extract (38.0±0.4 mN/m), followed by malic acid+maltose and lactic acid+menthol extracts (31.5±0.4 and 25.9±0.1 mN/m, respectively). The viscosity of lactic acid+menthol extract was significantly lower (1.83±0.30 mPa•s) in comparison to malic acid+maltose and citric acid+glycerol extracts (6.64±0.15 and 7.84±0.10 mPa•s, respectively). The highest TPC, total proteins, and extraction yield were measured in citric acid+glycerol extract, while lactic acid+menthol extract possessed the highest conductivity and the lowest density, surface tension, and viscosity. Therefore, the constitution of natural deep eutectic solvent should be optimized depending on the future application of T. serpyllum extract.

AB  - The plants contain a large number of various compounds that exhibit significant antioxidant 
activity. Among them, polyphenols and flavonoids are the most studied compounds with different 
biological properties, including antioxidant activity. The functionalization of cotton fabric with natural compounds from plants results in the material with improved antioxidative properties. In this study, cotton fabrics treated with ethanol and water Thymus serpyllum L. (wild thyme) extracts were investigated in terms of antioxidant properties and chemical composition. In vitro antioxidant capacity of ethanol and water extracts, and the cotton fabric before and after functionalization was evaluated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•), and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS•+) radicals scavenging capacity assays. FTIR and UV–Vis spectroscopy elucidated the structure of the cotton fabric, extracts, and functionalized cotton fabric. FTIR spectroscopy demonstrated that the structure of cellulose was dominated in cotton, and also proved the presence of a low percentage of protein, pectin, oil, fat, and wax, as well as, binding of compounds from the extract by cross-linking with long chains of structure cotton. In dry extracts, the presence of various chemical functional groups was confirmed. UV-Vis analysis identified the active components in T. serpyllum extracts. Namely, absorption values for both spectra (water and ethanol samples) at 215-253 nm, 263-384 nm, are specific for phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Also, one of the aims of the study was to investigate the influence of various extracts (water and ethanol samples) on the antioxidant activity of cotton fabric. All extracts demonstrated excellent antioxidant properties, more potent than the reference antioxidant (ascorbic acid) in both antioxidant assays (between 85-86% in DPPH and 94-96% in ABTS assays). Pure T. serpyllum water extract was the most potent in the DPPH assay (86%), while pure ethanolic extract was the most potent antioxidant in the ABTS assay (96%). The antioxidant capacity of raw cotton fabric was insufficient (4%). On the other hand, in the DPPH assay, samples of cotton fabric with extract showed moderate activity with scavenging activity of 48% and 45% for ethanol and water extracts, respectively. Additionally,
in the ABTS assay, the antioxidant activity of treated cotton fabric was 51% and 46% for ethanol 
and water extracts, respectively.

AB  - Wild thyme contains biologically active compounds, particularly polyphenols (flavonoids and phenolic acids) that exert antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, analgesic, and spasmolytic activities. Nevertheless, the mentioned bioactive compounds have low stability, solubility, and bioavailability, thus their application is limited. Liposomal particles have been widely used for the encapsulation of bioactive components, due to their high structural integrity, stability during storage, and controlled release capability. In the present study, phospholipid-cholesterol liposomal particles, as the carrier for wild thyme extract, were developed. The stability of extract-loaded liposomes was monitored for 21 days by measuring vesicle size, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential. The particle size and PDI of extract-loaded liposomes did not change drastically during 21 days of storage and amounted to ~450 nm and ~0.155, respectively. The zeta potential varied in the liposomes and started to decrease after 7 days of storage (from -21.0 mV to 20.3 mV, without a statistically significant difference), while the zeta potential value after 21 days was statistically significantly lower in comparison to the 1st day (19.3 mV). The beneficial effects of polyphenols on human health, as well as showed storage stability of the prepared liposomes highlight the use of the wild thyme extract-loaded phospholipid-cholesterol liposomal particles for potential application in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

AB  - This work provides insight into possibilities of maximum utilization of C3-C4 energy crops for thermo-chemical conversion (slow pyrolysis) into high value biochemicals, platform chemicals, drop-in fuels and combustible gases, using coupled kinetic and thermodynamic analyses. In order to examine the kinetics of decomposition of lignocellulosic components, model-free and model-based methods faded from thermal analysis data were used. Thermodynamic compensation was used for explicatory of entropy controlled process, where conformational changes and chemical exchange directly affect the type and distribution of obtained pyrolytic products. It was shown that external variable (i.e. the heating rate/temperature) does not change either an entire reaction mechanism (mechanistic nature of MG and AD pyrolyses) or transition state, but it changes activation enthalpy and activation entropy which lead to differences in terms of heat energy consumption, pyrolysis favorability and thus rates of generation of activated complex among feedstocks. To investigate the interplay of catalysts (present in feedstocks as minerals) and reactants, selective energy transfer (SET) model was applied. The model showed an activity of catalyst with different outputs towards two reactants, lignin part of the structure in MG and 1,8-cineole in AD. It was shown that AD is more convenient for thermal conversion than MG, regarding to lower transformation energy requirement, higher reactivity, as well as much faster accumulation of products.

AB  - In previous publications, we pointed out the importance of mannosylation of fibrinogen for the development of cardiovascular complications and fucosylation as a predictor of peritoneal membrane dysfunction in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). After a follow-up period of 30 months from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated the significance of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) therapy, primary disease, biochemical and hematologic analyzes, and previously performed glycan analysis by lectin-based microarray as predictors of mortality in this patient group. After univariate Cox regression analysis, diabetes mellitus (DM) and calcitriol therapy were found to be potential predictors of mortality. Additional multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that only DM was a predictor of mortality. Nevertheless, the use of calcitriol in therapy significantly reduced mortality in this patient group, as shown by the Kaplan–Meier survival curve. The presence of DM as a concomitant disease proved to be a strong predictor of fatal outcome in PD patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. This is the first study to indicate the importance and beneficial effect of calcitriol therapy on survival in PD patients with COVID-19 infection. In addition, this study points to the possibility that adverse thrombogenic events observed in PD patients during the pandemic may be caused by aberrant fibrinogen glycosylation.

AB  - As we already reported, fibrinogen fucosylation emerged as a prognostic marker of peritoneal
membrane function in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on peritoneal dialysis. After a
follow-up period of 18 months, we estimated the ability of employed lectins, as well as other biochemical
parameters, to serve as mortality predictors in these patients. Following a univariate Cox
regression analysis, ferritin, urea clearance, residual diuresis, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the
signal intensity obtained with Galanthus nivalis lectin (GNL) emerged as potential mortality predictors,
but additional multivariate Cox regression analysis pointed only to glucose concentration
and GNL as mortality predictors. Higher signal intensity obtained with GNL in patients that died
suggested the importance of paucimannosidic/highly mannosidic N-glycan structures on fibrinogen
as factors that are related to unwanted cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality and can possibly
be seen as a prediction tool. Altered glycan structures composed of mannose residues are expected
to affect the reactivity of mannosylated glycoproteins with mannose-binding lectin and possibly
the entire cascade of events linked to this lectin. Since patients with ESRD are prone to cardiovascular
complications and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, one can hypothesize that fibrinogen
with increasingly exposed mannose residues may contribute to the unwanted events.

AB  - Bilirubin is a tetrapyrrole, yellow pigment, and it is a degradation product
created in heme metabolism. This molecule is predominantly present in
its unconjugated form in circulation, and it is mainly bound to human
serum albumin. The presence of small amounts of free, unconjugated
bilirubin enables its interactions with other circulation components. In
conditions like Gilbert syndrome or diabetes, the concentration of
unconjugated bilirubin increases in the blood, making other interacting
partners from circulation more important for its metabolism. In the liver,
bilirubin is converted to conjugated form, which is then excreted from
the organism. While the significant increase of bilirubin is toxic, research
suggests that small increases may be beneficial since bilirubin has
antioxidative and anticancer potential. In this chapter, interactions of
bilirubin with several proteins will be described together with the effects
of these interactions on the protein’s structure and function.

AB  - The interaction between phycocyanobilin (PCB), a bioactive
chromophore of blue-green cyanobacteria Spirulina’s phycobiliproteins,
and human alpha-2-macroglobulin (a2M), a universal
anti-proteinase, was investigated in this study under simulated
physiological conditions using spectroscopic techniques and a2M
activity assay. Protein a2M was found to bind PCB with a moderate
affinity, as assessed by spectrofluorimetric titration. The
binding constant was calculated to be 6.39105 M
 1 at 25°C. The
binding of PCB to a2M did not cause significant change in the
secondary structure of the protein, as determined by circular
dichroism. PCB protected a2M from oxidative damage in the
presence of AAPH-induced free radical overproduction. PCB
binding also effectively preserved a2M anti-proteinase activity.
Since a2M is involved in controlling the action of enzymes during
the inflammatory process, the protection that PCB expresses
could indirectly influence the intensity and direction of the body
response to impaired homeostasis, especially under oxidative
stress.

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 most susceptible to oxidation. Through this chemical
modification, fibrinogen acquires thrombogenic characteristics in 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  - In this study, the interaction between phycocyanobilin (PCB)1, a bioactive chromophore of
blue-green algae Spirulina's phycobiliproteins, and alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2M)2, a
universal anti-proteinase, was investigated under simulated physiological conditions using
spectroscopic techniques and α2M activity assay. Using spectrofluorimetric measurements,
we found that α2M binds PCB with a moderate affinity, with a binding constant of 6.3×
105 M−1 at 25°C. The binding of PCB to α2M does not cause any significant change in the
secondary structure of the protein (circular dichroism measurements). Besides, PCB
protects α2M from structural oxidative alterations under AAPH-induced free radical
overproduction. Further, PCB binding effectively preserves α2M anti-proteinase activity.
Since α2M is involved in controlling the action of enzymes during the inflammatory
process, the protection that PCB expresses could indirectly influence the intensity and
direction of body response to impaired homeostasis, especially under oxidative stress.

AB  - A reduced form of the alpha-lipoic acid, dihydro-alpha-lipoic
acid (DHLA) is a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant that is
found in higher amounts in plants like spinach, broccoli, potatoes,
tomatoes, carrots, beets and rice. DHLA can be consumed
as a food supplement as well, at doses up to 600 mg/day. DHLA
has an inhibitory effect on coagulation as it can reduce concentrations
of some coagulation factors. This study investigated a
direct interaction between DHLA and fibrinogen, the main protein
in coagulation and hemostasis. DHLA binds fibrinogen with
a moderate straight. Calculated constant from spectrofluorimetric
titration for DHLA/fibrinogen complex was 104 M -1. Fibrinogen
stability remains the same with only marginal structural changes
in its secondary structure favouring more ordered molecular
organisation upon DHLA binding, as determined by Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy. Coagulation assay showed that
fibrinogen with bound DHLA forms fibrin with thicker fibres, as
measured by coagulation assay and is protected from oxidation to
a certain extent. Docking analysis showed that DHLA may bind
fibrinogen in its D regions, which are directly involved in the fibrin
formation. Obtained results support beneficial effects of DHLA
on fibrinogen and consequently on coagulation process, suggesting
that DHLA supplementation may be indicated for persons with
an increased risk of developing thrombotic complications, particularly
those whose fibrin is characterised by increased oxidative
modification and formation of thinner and less porous fibres.
Although further investigation is needed, our results suggest that
DHLA in complex with fibrinogen can be located at the site of
injury where it may exert antioxidant effects.

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 mutuallyprotective 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.

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.",
