    The main purpose of this research was to evaluate the role of α-lactalbumin (α-LA), β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), and β-Caseins (β-CN) in the binding interaction between Nano Resveratrol (Nano Res), as binary and ternary systems. This investigation was fulfilled through the application of multi-spectroscopic, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), conductometry, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation techniques. Fluorescence spectroscopy observations illustrated the effectiveness of Nano Res throughout the quenching of α-LA, (α-LA-β-LG), and (α-LA-β-CN) complexes, confirming the occurrence of interaction through the combination of static and dynamic mechanisms. An enhancement in the temperature of all three complexes caused a decrease in their Ksv and Kb values, which indicates the static and dynamic behavior of their interactions. The obtained thermodynamic parameters proved the dominance of electrostatic interaction as the binding force of both binary and ternary systems. The observed properties of Tyr or Trp residues in proteins through the data of synchronous spectroscopy at Δλ = 15 and 60 nm, respectively, demonstrated the closer positioning of (α-LA-β-CN) complex to the proximity of Trp residues when compared to the two other cases. According to the resonance light scattering (RLS) measurements, the detection of a much greater RLS intensity in (α-LA-β-CN) Nano Res complex suggested the production of a larger complex. Furthermore, the conductometry outcomes displayed an increase in molar conductivity and therefore approved the occurrence of interaction between Nano Res and proteins in both binary and ternary systems. The spherical shape of Nano Res was confirmed through the results of FE-SEM and TEM analyses. The conformational changes of proteins throughout the binding of Nano Res was evaluated by circular dichroism (CD) technique, while molecular docking and MD simulations affirmed the binding of Nano Res to α-LA, (α-LA-β-LG), and (α-LA-β-CN) complexes as binary and ternary systems. These In Silico study data confirm the results of in vitro assessments. The occurrence of changes in the secondary structure of β-galactosidase was implied through the increased enzyme catalytic activity induced by the interaction of different lactose concentrations.
