## Abstract Oxidative stress and unregulated immune response are believed to play a key role in the processes inherent to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The fact that free radicals can result in neurodegeneration suggests that actions against reactive oxygen species may be beneficial in treating and pre

✦ Synopsis
The recent development of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has allowed its use to study molecular interactions driven by non-covalent forces. ESI-MS has been used to detect non-covalent complexes between proteins and metals, ligands and peptides and interactions involving DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides and drugs. Surprisingly, the study of the interaction between polyphenolic molecules and peptides/proteins is still an area where ESI-MS has not benefited. With regard to the important influence of these interactions in the biological and food domains, ESI-MS was applied to the detection and the characterization of soluble polyphenol-peptide complexes formed in model solution. The ability to observe and monitor the weak interactions involved in such macromolecular complexation phenomena was demonstrated for monomeric and dimeric flavonoid molecules (catechin-derived compounds) largely encountered in plants and plant derived products. Intact non-covalent polyphenol-peptide complexes were observed by ESI-MS using different experimental conditions. Utilizing mild ESI interface conditions allowed the detection of 1 : 1 polyphenol-peptide complexes in all tested solutions and 2 : 1 complexes for the dimers and galloylated polyphenols (flavanols). These results show that there is a preferential interaction between polymerized and/or galloylated polyphenols and peptide compared with that between monomeric polyphenols and peptides. Thus, ESI-MS shows potential for the study of small polyphenolic molecule-peptide interactions and determination of stoichiometry.
