Analytical Chemistry Biochemistry Food Science polyphenol tannin polyphenol-protein complex antioxidant Prussian blue ab initio epigallocatechin gallate Polyphenols are a diverse class of plant secondary metabolites with diverse chemical reactivities. The biological significance of polyphenol activities as antioxidants or protein-binding agents has not been clearly established. This dissertation describes the characterization of a model polyphenol-protein complex formed between (-) – epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). In order to characterize the complex capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods were developed. An ion exchange chromatography method to purify the complex was developed. The complex appeared to comprise about 10 EGCg per BSA, covalently linked at cysteine, lysine and/or histidine residues. The dissertation also describes mathematical models that utilize ab initio calculated properties of polyphenols to predict the response in one of five common biochemical assays: BCA (bicinchoninic acid), MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide), ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) and the Prussian blue assay. 2011-12-05 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1322841396 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1322841396 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
