Arachin (ARA) and resveratrol (RES) are the primary protein and bioactive compound in peanuts and their processed products. However, the mechanism of interaction between these two substances remained unclear. To investigate protein structural changes, conformational variations, and molecular mechanisms in the interaction between them, multispectral analysis and computational chemistry methods were employed. Experimental results confirmed that RES quenched ARA's intrinsic fluorescence through static quenching, indicating their interaction. Thermodynamic analysis revealed the interaction between them was endothermic, spontaneous, and primarily hydrophobic. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations highlighted strong affinity between RES and ARA, with key amino acids (His425, Val426, Phe405, and Phe464) facilitating their interaction. RES binding increased stability without significant protein conformational changes. The independent gradient model based on Hirshfeld partition (IGMH) validated their interaction, emphasizing van der Waals (VDW) interactions and hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) as crucial for stable binding. This research lays a theoretical foundation for potential applications of ARA-RES complex products in the food industry.
