title: Data for β-lactoglobulin conformational analysis after (-)-epigallocatechin gallate and metal ions binding.
abstract: This data article contains complementary results related to the paper "Effect of metal ions on the binding reaction of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate toβ-lactoglobulin" (Zhang et al., 2017) [1]. Data was obtained by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to investigate potentialβ-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) conformational changes with different concentrations of EGCg and Cu2+or Al3+added toβ-Lg. 500 µL of the 25 µMβ-Lg solution containing EGCg (25 µM) or metal ions (0-500 µM) were measured, and the spectra were recorded. CD spectroscopy data present in this article indicated that theβ-Lg-Cu,β-Lg-Al andβ-Lg-EGCg interaction resulted in unfolding of the secondary structure ofβ-Lg.
