AB  - Background: The world’s production of whey is estimated to be more than 200 milliontons per year. Although whey is an important source of proteins with high nutritional value andbiotechnological importance, it is still considered as a by-product of the dairy industry with loweconomic value due to low industrial exploitation. There are several challenges in the separation ofwhey proteins: low concentration, the complexity of the material and similar properties (pI, molecularmass) of some proteins.Methods: A narrative review of all the relevant papers on the present methodologies based on ionexchange and adsorption principles for isolation of whey proteins, known to the authors, was conductedResults: Traditional ion exchange techniques are widely used for the separation and purification ofthe bovine whey proteins. These methodologies, based on the anion or cation chromatographicprocedures, as well as the combination of aforementioned techniques are still preferential methodsfor the isolation of the whey proteins on the laboratory scale. However, more recent research on ionexchange membranes for this purpose has been introduced, with promising potential to be appliedon the pilot industrial scale. Newly developed methodologies based either on the ion exchangeseparation (for example: simulated moving bed chromatography, expanded bed adsorption, magneticion exchangers, etc.) or adsorption (for example: adsorption on hydroxyapatite or activatedcarbon, or molecular imprinting) are promising approaches for scaling up of the whey proteins’purification processes.Conclusion: Many procedures based on ion exchange are successfully implemented for the separationand purification of whey proteins, providing protein preparations of moderate-to-high yieldand satisfactory purity. However, the authors anticipate further development of adsorption-basedmethodologies for the separation of whey proteins by targeting the differences in proteins’ structuresrather than targeting the differences in molecular masses and pI. The complex composite multilayeredmatrices, including also inorganic components, are promising materials for simultaneousexploiting of the differences in the masses, pI and structures of whey proteins for the separation.

AB  - A simple organic-phase synthesis process was used to produce bare NiFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 and core-shell ZnFe2O4@NiFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles. X-ray powder diffractograms for all investigated powders show characteristic peaks of a spinel cubic structure without a secondary phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated the presence of nanoparticles that are smaller than 20 nm. The release of divalent ions (Ni2+ and Zn2+) from synthesized nanoparticles that were dispersed in saline solution, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and human serum, as determined by the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method, was lower than 2 wt %. These results demonstrate the stability of the investigated nanoparticles in biologically relevant media and exclude the toxicity of Ni2+ and Zn2+ due to metal ion release, thereby opening a broad range of (bio)medical applications.

AB  - α-Lactalbumin (ALA) is a Ca2+-binding protein which constitutes up to 20% of whey protein. At acidic pH, and in the apo-state at elevated temperatures, ALA is the classic 'molten globule' (MG). This study examined epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) binding to ALA in its apo form (apoALA) and stabilizing effect on protein structure thereof.

EGCG binds to apoALA in both native and MG state. The complex of EGCG and ALA is more stable to thermal denaturation. The docking analysis and molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) showed that Ca2+ removal decreased conformational stability of ALA, because of the local destabilization of Ca2+-binding region. EGCG binding to apoALA increases its stability by reverting of conformation and stability of Ca2+-binding region. Therefore, EGCG-induced thermal stability of apoALA is based on increased apoALA conformational rigidity. This study implies that during gastric digestion of tea with milk EGCG would remain bound to ALA, albeit in the Ca2+-free form

AB  - In this study, we investigated structural aspects of covalent binding of food derived blue pigment phycocyanobilin (PCB) to bovine beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), major whey protein, by spectroscopic, electrophoretic, mass spectrometry and computational methods. At physiological pH (7.2), we found that covalent pigment binding via free cysteine residue is slow (k(a)=0.065 min(-1)), of moderate affinity (K-a=4x10(4) M-1), and stereo-selective. Binding also occurs at a broad pH range and under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Adduct formation rises with pH, and in concentrated urea (k(a)=0.101 min(-1)). The BLG-PCB adduct has slightly altered secondary and tertiary protein structure, and bound PCB has higher fluorescence and more stretched conformation than free chromophore. Combination of steered molecular dynamic for disulfide exchange, non-covalent and covalent docking, favours Cys119 residue in protein calyx as target for covalent BLG-PCB adduct formation. Our results suggest that this adduct can serve as delivery system of bioactive PCB.

AB  - Phycocyanobilin (PCB) is a blue tetrapyrrole chromophore of C-phycocyanin, the main protein of the microalga Spirulina, with numerous proven health-related benefits. We examined binding of PCB to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and how it affects protein and ligand stability. Protein fluorescence quenching and microscale thermophoresis demonstrated high-affinity binding (K-a = 2 x 10(6) M-1). Spectroscopic titration with molecular docking analysis revealed two binding sites on BSA, at the inter-domain cleft and at subdomain IB, while CD spectroscopy indicated stereo-selective binding of the P conformer of the pigment to the protein. The PCB protein complex showed increased thermal stability. Although complex formation partly masked the antioxidant properties of PCB and BSA, a mutually protective effect against free radical-induced oxidation was found. BSA could be suitable for delivery of PCB as a food colorant or bioactive component. Our results also highlight subtle differences between PCB binding to bovine vs. human serum albumin.

AB  - In this study, we investigated structural aspects of covalent binding of food derived blue pigment phycocyanobilin (PCB) to bovine beta-lactoglobulin (BLG), major whey protein, by spectroscopic, electrophoretic, mass spectrometry and computational methods. At physiological pH (7.2), we found that covalent pigment binding via free cysteine residue is slow (k(a)=0.065 min(-1)), of moderate affinity (K-a=4x10(4) M-1), and stereo-selective. Binding also occurs at a broad pH range and under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. Adduct formation rises with pH, and in concentrated urea (k(a)=0.101 min(-1)). The BLG-PCB adduct has slightly altered secondary and tertiary protein structure, and bound PCB has higher fluorescence and more stretched conformation than free chromophore. Combination of steered molecular dynamic for disulfide exchange, non-covalent and covalent docking, favours Cys119 residue in protein calyx as target for covalent BLG-PCB adduct formation. Our results suggest that this adduct can serve as delivery system of bioactive PCB.

AB  - α-Lactalbumin (ALA) is a small, acidic, Ca2+-binding protein that might constitute up to 20% of whey protein. ALA has several partially folded intermediate states. It is very attractive for studies of the properties and structure of intermediate molten globule-like states since at acidic pH and in the apo-state at elevated temperatures ALA is the classic ‘molten globule’.The aim of our study was to examine if epi-gallo-catechin-3-gallate (EGCG) binds to ALA in its Ca-depleted (apo-ALA) and less ordered states. Moreover we examined if the polyphenol binding can stabilize protein structure. The experimental investigation of EGCG binding and protein’s stability were supported by molecular dynamics data.Green tea catechin binds to apo-ALA in neutral and acidic conditions. Binding affinity determined by intrinsic fluorescence quenching is of a similar magnitude as to the holo form of the protein. The complex of EGCG and ALA at neutral conditions is more stable to thermal denaturation then protein alone. The stabilizing effect is more pronounced for apo-ALA than for the holo-ALA.The docking analysis and molecular dynamic simulation (MDS) showed that EGCG binds to apoALA at the same site as to holoALA, in the hydrophobic pocket at the entrance of cleft between α and β subdomains, remaining bound during MDS. Ca2+ removal results in decreased conformational stability of ALA, where local destabilization of Ca2+-binding region propagates to cleft, with its slight opening. EGCG binding to apo-ALA increases stability of ALA by reverting of conformation and stability of disturbed Ca2+-binding region, which is transmitted to cleft, resulting in rejoining of α and β subdomains and slight cleft closing by the same mechanism. EGCG binding could retard transition of apo-ALA to less ordered states under conditions favoring its formation.Therefore, non-covalent binding of EGCG can stabilize structural fold of calcium-depleted ALA.

AB  - BackgroundMost food allergens sensitizing via the gastrointestinal tract are stable proteins that are resistant to pepsin digestion, in particular major peanut allergens, Ara h 2 and Ara h 6. Survival of their large fragments is essential for sensitizing capacity. However, the immunoreactive proteins/peptides to which the immune system of the gastrointestinal tract is exposed during digestion of peanut proteins are unknown. Particularly, the IgE reactivity of short digestion-resistant peptides (SDRPs;  LT 10kDa) released by gastric digestion under standardized and physiologically relevant invitro conditions has not been investigated. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate and identify digestion products of major peanut allergens and in particular to examine IgE reactivity of SDRPs released by pepsin digestion of whole peanut grains. MethodsTwo-dimensional gel-based proteomics and shotgun peptidomics, immunoblotting with allergen-specific antibodies from peanut-sensitized patients, enzyme-linked immunosorbent inhibition assay and ImmunoCAP tests, including far ultraviolet-circular dichroism spectroscopy were used to identify and characterize peanut digesta. ResultsAra h 2 and Ara h 6 remained mostly intact, and SDRPs from Ara h 2 were more potent in inhibiting IgE binding than Ara h 1 and Ara 3. Ara h 1 and Ara h 3 exhibited sequential digestion into a series of digestion-resistant peptides with preserved allergenic capacity. A high number of identified SDRPs from Ara h 1, Ara h 2 and Ara h 3 were part of short continuous epitope sequences and possessed substantial allergenic potential. Conclusion and Clinical RelevancePeanut grain digestion by oral and gastric phase enzymes generates mixture of products, where the major peanut allergens remain intact and their digested peptides have preserved allergenic capacity highlighting their important roles in allergic reactions to peanut.

A high number of identified SDRPs from Ara h 1, Ara h 2 and Ara h 3 were part of short continuous epitope sequences and possessed substantial allergenic potential. Conclusion and Clinical RelevancePeanut grain digestion by oral and gastric phase enzymes generates mixture of products, where the major peanut allergens remain intact and their digested peptides have preserved allergenic capacity highlighting their important roles in allergic reactions to peanut.",

AB  - Phycocyanobilin (PCB) binds with high affinity (2.2 x 10 6 M-1 at 25 degrees C) to human serum albumin (HSA) at sites located in IB and IIA subdomains. The aim of this study was to examine effects of PCB binding on protein conformation and stability. Using 300 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, CD, FT-IR, spectrofluorimetry, thermal denaturation and susceptibility to trypsin digestion, we studied the effects of PCB binding on the stability and rigidity of HSA, as well as the conformational changes in PCB itself upon binding to the protein. MD simulation results demonstrated that HSA with PCB bound at any of the two sites showed greater rigidity and lower overall and individual domain flexibility compared to free HSA. Experimental data demonstrated an increase in the a-helical content of the protein and thermal and proteolytic stability upon ligand binding. PCB bound to HSA undergoes a conformational change to a more elongated conformation in the binding pockets of HSA. PCB binding to HSA stabilizes the structure of this flexible transport protein, making it more thermostable and resistant to proteolysis. The results from this work explain at molecular level, conformational changes and stabilization of HSA structure upon ligand binding. The resultant increased thermal and proteolytic stability of HSA may provide greater longevity to HSA in plasma.

AB  - Conglutins represent the major peanut allergens and are renowned for their resistance to gastrointestinal digestion. Our aim was to characterize the digestion-resistant peptides (DRPs) of conglutins by biochemical and biophysical methods followed by a molecular dynamics simulation in order to better understand the molecular basis of food protein allergenicity. We have mapped proteolysis sites at the N- and C-termini and at a limited internal segment, while other potential proteolysis sites remained unaffected. Molecular dynamics simulation showed that proteolysis only occurred in the vibrant regions of the proteins. DRPs appeared to be conformationally stable as intact conglutins. Also, the overall secondary structure and IgE-binding potency of DRPs was comparable to that of intact conglutins. The stability of conglutins toward gastro-intestinal digestion, combined with the conformational stability of the resulting DRPs provide conditions for optimal exposure to the intestinal immune system, providing an explanation for the extraordinary allergenicity of peanut conglutins.

AB  - Human serum albumin (HSA) is an important regulator of the pharmacokinetic properties of bioactive compounds. Phycocyanobilin is a blue tetrapyrrole chromophore of C-phycocyanin with proven health-promoting activities. Despite its structural similarity to bilirubin, the conformation it adopts in aqueous solution is different and the pigment is more soluble than bilirubin. The aim of our study was to examine binding of phycocyanobilin for HSA and to investigate its competition with bilirubin. Based on a computational approach, we demonstrated two putative high-affinity binding pockets on HSA of virtually identical energies for the neutral and anion forms of bilirubin, but with slightly favorable predictions for anion forms of phycocyanobilin. Computational prediction of phycocyanobilin pK(a) values suggested a monoanion form to be the most stable form at physiological conditions. The computationally predicted binding sites for phycocyanobilin were identical to the two previously identified binding sites for bilirubin (subdomains IB and IIA). Results obtained by protein and pigment fluorescence measurements, circular dichroism, and competition experiments confirmed high affinity (binding constant of 2.2 x 10(6) M-1 at 25 degrees C), stereo-selective binding of phycocyanobilin M-conformer to HSA and its competition with bilirubin, warfarin and hemin. Our experimental data confirm that phycocyanobilin binds to IB and IIA binding site of HSA with an affinity similar to bilirubin. In conditions characterized by an increased bilirubin plasma concentration, or intake of drugs binding to IB or IIA binding site, pharmacokinetics of phycocyanobilin may also be changed.
