Cover Picture: Employing Spectroscopic, Electrochemical, and In Silico Research to Investigate the Interaction of Ofloxacin, Antibacterial Drug With the Haemoglobin (ChemistrySelect 20/2024)

Spectroscopic analysis and molecular dynamics simulations followed by PBSA calculations confirms the formation of a stable complex between ofloxacin and hemoglobin. Further, electrochemical investigation demonstrates the gradual decrease of oxidative and reductive peaks of ofloxacin over time in the presence of hemoglobin. This comprehensive approach elucidated the intricate dynamics governing drug-protein interactions, providing vital insights into therapeutic mechanisms.
