Spectrofluorometric Detection of Protein with a Novel Hydrophilic Cyanine Dye

A sensitive fluorescence quantitative determination for bovine serum albumin (BSA) or human serum albumin (HSA) has been developed by using a new hydrophilic cyanine dye 1, 1'-sulfonopropyl-3,3,3', 3'-tetramethylindolium-5,5'-disulfonic potassium (STDP) as a fluorescence probe. Using BSA as a representative protein, characteristics of the fluorescence reaction of STDP with protein were investigated. Effects of the concentration of the hydrophilic cyanine dye, pH value of the buffer solution, and ion-intensity of NaCl were also studied as well as the ratio of ethanol. In the citrate-HCl buffer solution, the fluorescence emission wavelength of BSA-STDP system was 562 nm with the maximum excitation wavelength of 548 nm, and the Stokes displacement was 14 nm. With the pH ranging from 1.0 to 2.0, the fluorescence was increasing and up to the maximum at pH 2.0. However, in the pH range of 3.0-5.0, the interaction of BSA and STDP was weakened due to the decrease in positive charge on the BSA chain, which resulted in an observable decrease of the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity. At the optimum pH of 2.0, electrostatic interactions of positive charges of the BSA chain and negative charges on the sulfonic groups of STDP were carried out. The interactions of the indole group of STDP and some active groups of BSA (viz. amido, carboxyl or sulfhydryl) were also achieved, and resulted in the combination of indole group of cyanine dye into the chain of BSA. So the hydrophobic effect and the protection provided by the skeleton chain of BSA were both improved to prevent the fluorescent energy of STDP from losing in the solution, which caused a notable fluorescence increase with an observable shift to the longer emission wavelength. Furthermore, with the augmentation of BSA, the alpha-helix structure of BSA molecular turned from the unwrapped state to the enfolded state, in favor of restraining free-oscillation of fluorescence probe in the solution and maintaining a high energy transfer efficiency. Such a fact fueled a highly enhancement of the fluorescence too. Besides, effects of the concentration of cyanine dye on the determination of BSA were also investigated. The fluorescence intensity (DeltaF) was enhanced with the increase in the quantity of STDP and gained the peak at 1.00 micromol x L(-1). However, when STDP ranged from 1.50 to 5.00 micromol x L(-1), some negative congregate effects on the nature of cyanine dye might happen and resulted in a too high fluorescence background. A rapid decrease of the fluorescence intensity was observed. The effects of ion-intensity of NaCl and ethanol on the fluorescence of BSA-STDP system were obvious. Though the fluorescence still remained high at the level of NaCl of 0.025 mol x L(-1), a rapid decrease happen at the level of NaCl from 0.05 to 0.15 mol x L(-1). With the addition of ethanol, the dissolvation capacity of both STDP and BSA was improved and their interactions were accelerated. An increasing fluorescence with the augment of ethanol was obtained and the maximum was achieved with the ratio of ethanol at 10%. Influences of coexistent substances such as amino acid, metal ions such as Cu2+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Al3+ and Fe3+ were also investigated. Most substances had no notable influences on the determination of BSA except Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions. Under the optimum conditions, the fluorescence of STDP was enhanced markedly with the addition of the BSA or HSA protein. Good calibration curves of the proteins were obtained in the range of 0.20-15.00 microg x mL(-1) for BSA and 0.20-12.00 microg x mL(-1) for HSA with detection limits (3sigma/K) of 0.01 microg x mL(-1). Applied to simulant BSA samples, this method was adaptable. And the results were satisfied with good recoveries ranging from 94.5% to 103.3% at the revels of 4.00, 6.00 and 8.00 microg x mL(-1) respectively.
