Thermodynamic and computational analyses reveal the functional roles of the galloyl group of tea catechins in molecular recognition.

Catechins, biologically active polyphenols in green tea, exhibit various biological activities, such as anticancer and antiviral activities, arising from interactions with functional proteins. However, the molecular details of these interactions remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the int...
