    Abstract:

    Objective: To investigate the mechanism of quercetin (Que), baicalin (Bai), fisetin (Fis) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) forming BSA mono-, di-, tri ligand complexes. Method: The formation mechanism of BSA flavonoid complexes was investigated using UV visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and other methods; The changes in thermal stability of BSA were studied using DSC; The changes in crystallinity and solubility of flavonoids after binding BSA were investigated using XRD; Observe the morphology of BSA flavonoid complex by scanning electron microscopy; Exploring the dynamic binding of flavonoids and BSA through molecular dynamics simulation. Result: The hydrophobicity of the BSA aromatic amino acid residue microenvironment gradually increased with the increase of flavonoid content; During the formation of BSA triple ligand complexes, the content of alpha helices gradually decreases, ultimately reaching only 20.90% ± 0.019 and 30.07% ± 0.008, respectively; BSA single and triple ligands have a stabilizing effect on the conformation of BSA, and the g-g-g content of BSA can be increased from 62.04% ± 0.023 to 77.30% ± 0.028. BSA dual ligands as a whole have a negative effect on the conformation stability of BSA; The addition of flavonoids reduces the thermal stability of BSA, with BSA triple ligand showing the worst thermal stability. The thermal denaturation temperature of BSA decreases from (145.63 ± 6.2) ℃ to (132.19 ± 5.4) ℃; Flavonoids are in an amorphous state in BSA, and their crystallinity decreases. As the number of ligands increases, the solubility of flavonoids is further improved; The increase in the amount of flavonoids disrupts the smooth surface of BSA, making it loose, and even the BSA triple ligand exhibits a scale like crystal structure; The binding process between flavonoids and BSA is relatively stable, and the stability of BSA is enhanced, with BSA triple ligand having the best stability. Conclusion: Que, Bai, and Fis, when acting alone or co loaded onto BSA, will affect each other's structure and properties. The degree of influence varies depending on the number of ligands.
