}Evaluating the binding energy of a catechin/caffeine complex in water is important in order to elucidate the ability for molecular recognition of tea catechins. The results of this study revealed that the stoichiometric ratio of the complexation between tea chatechins (EGCg, ECg, EGC, and EC) and caffeine was 1:1 at least up to a concentration of 5.0 mM. The free energy (−ΔG) values for binding in water at 301 K were evaluated to be 2.7, 2.6, 2.2, and 2.0 kcal/mol for EGCg, ECg, EGC, and EC…
