https://www.selleckchem.com/products/amg-232.html β-Lactoglobulin is a major globular milk whey carrier with potential applications as an oral drug delivery system. Herein, the interactions between β-lactoglobulin and cisplatin are investigated by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism, X-ray crystallography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Structural data indicate that the protein retains its conformation upon cisplatin binding. Pt-containing fragments bind the side chains of Met7, His146 and Lys8, with the number of binding sites increasing over time. Mass spectrometry data indicate that [Pt(NH3)2Cl+], [Pt(NH3)2OH22+] and [Pt(NH3)22+] fragments interact with β-lactoglobulin; up to 3 cisplatin fragments can bind the protein and the number of cisplatin binding sites increases over time. This work opens a new pathway in pharmaceutical studies based on a rational design of metal-based drug/β-lactoglobulin adducts as delivering vehicles of metallodrugs.The molecular features that dictate interactions between functionalized nanoparticles and biomolecules are not well understood. This is in part because for highly charged nanoparticles in solution, establishing a clear connection between the molecular features of surface ligands and common experimental observables such as ζ potential requires going beyond the classical models based on continuum and mean field models. Motivated by these considerations, molecular dynamics simulations are used to probe the electrostatic properties of functionalized gold nanoparticles and their interaction with a charged peptide in salt solutions. Counterions are observed to screen the bare ligand charge to a significant degree even at the moderate salt concentration of 50 mM. As a result, the apparent charge density and ζ potential are largely insensitive to the bare ligand charge densities, which fall in the range of ligand densities typically measured experimentally for gold nanoparticles. While this screening ef
