gested the possibility of inhibition of -glucosidase by
rosmarinic acid. The interaction energies (IE) between
the protein and ligand analysed for each amino acid
residues and overall residues showed electrostatic IE as
-44.70 kcal/mol and van der Waals IE as -31.22 kcal/mol
which showed good binding energy with the enzyme.
For the rst time we have reported the anti-diabetic
effect of Quercus serrata leaves extract and the dominant
active constituent rosmarinic acid. Further, this study
reported the in silico binding analysis of rosmarinic acid
with the enzyme -glucosidase of S. cerevisiae.
