Natural Compounds against Neurodegenerative Diseases: Molecular Characterization of the Interaction of Catechins from Green Tea with Aβ1–42, PrP106–126, and Ataxin‐3 Oligomers

Abstract: By combining NMR spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and circular dichroism we have identified the structural determinants involved in the interaction of green tea catechins with Aβ1-42, PrP106-126, and ataxin-3 oligomers. The data allow the elucidation of their mechanism of action, showing that the flavan-3-ol unit of catechins is essential for interaction. At the same time, the gallate moiety, when present, seems to increase the affinity for the target proteins. These results provide important in… Show more

“…9,10,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] STD exploits the protein magnetization as a reservoir and upon saturation of the protein magnetization, crossrelaxation between the protein and ligand protons causes intensity enhancements for the ligand signals. The efficiency of the intensity enhancement of ligand proton predominantly depends on the distance between the proton and protein.…”

“…Figure (B) showed that EGCG at high concentrations (≥50 μg/mL) dramatically reduced final surface pressure of SCN dispersion (7.40 to 3.93 mN/m). Considering the critical role of hydrophobic amino residues in protein surfactant (Damodaran, ), it was reasonable to postulate that EGCG initiated this process by limiting exposure of hydrophobic amino residues through either direct binding (Jobstl, Howse, Fairclough, & Williamson, ) or reducing protein conformational flexibility (Sironi et al., ), which led to suppressed protein absorption and reduction of SCN surface concentration (Sausse, Aguie‐Beghin, & Douillard, ). SCN‐EGCG interactions can also reduce effective SCN level in solution by stimulating micelle formation (Haratifar & Corredig, ).…”
