Figure 7. Analysis of molecular interaction of α-glucosidase with the bioactive seaweed components. (A) dioxinodehydroeckol, (B) dieckol (C) phlorofucofuroeckol-A, (D) eckol, (E) phloroglucinol, (F) 7-phloroeckol and (G) acarbose. Molecular docking simulation reveals the favorable binding patterns of seaweed components as allosteric inhibitors of PTP1B with estimated lower binding energy in the allosteric binding pocket. The interactions are depicted on ProteinsPlus (https://proteins.plus). Hydrogen bonds are shown as black dashed lines, hydrophobic interactions as green curved lines and π–π interactions are presented as green dashed lines.
