Cover Story: The nutritional and medicinal benefits of kiwifruit and persimmon have been known for years. However, the bioactive constituents that mediate the interaction to achieve those benefits are not well documented. Thus, the present study aimed to demarcate the mechanism of actions through in vitro and in silico analyses. Results from the study evidently suggested that the presence of few unique components from different cultivars of the same fruit variety could significantly alter the binding properties with human serum albumin (HSA) and thereby regulate different traits in humans. These findings augur well for applications in functional foods and phar-macological studies. View this paper.
