Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the antioxidant reactivity of nickel and zinc porphyrins using various analytical techniques.
  • Conducted molecular dynamics simulations and MM-GBSA analyses
  • Utilized electrochemical and spectroscopic approaches to evaluate antioxidant behavior
  • Assessed binding interactions of NiTPP and ZnTMPP with Keap1
  • Findings indicate NiTPP exhibits stronger binding and greater structural stability with Keap1
  • ZnTMPP promotes direct radical scavenging as part of its antioxidant response
  • NiTPP demonstrates enhanced protein recognition compared to ZnTMPP

Abstract

). Molecular dynamics and MM-GBSA analyses confirmed greater structural stability and stronger binding for the NiTPP-Keap1 complex. These findings highlight a complementary antioxidant behavior, where ZnTMPP favors direct radical scavenging, while NiTPP shows enhanced protein recognition and stabilization.
