Discussion

Experimental analysis investigates non-covalent binding in wheat starch-protein aggregates, indicating potential for low-glycemic index foods.

Gli and Glu proteins enhance resistant starch content, increasing by 6.74% and 6.91% respectively.
Molecular dynamics simulations revealed binding free energies of -107.67 kcal/mol for Gli and -99.50 kcal/mol for Glu.
Non-covalent interactions disrupt starch's structural order and inhibit α-amylase activity.
This study establishes a predictive framework for starch-protein aggregate design in nutrition science.

Dai et al. (2025) studied this question.
