Molecular docking analysis of melamine with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and succinate dehydrogenase

Abstract

Melamine consumption causes oxidative stress by an unknown mechanism. Therefore, it is of interest to analyze the interaction of melamine with two important proteins involved in oxidative stress biology namely, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and succinate dehydrogenase. The molecular docking data shows the melamine binding with these two proteins at critical residues. These interactions can be logically perceived for the causation of melamine induced oxidative stress.
