Atomic force microscopy of human serum albumin (HSA) on poly(styrene/acrolein) microspheres

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in the tapping mode was used for the observation of bare poly (styrene/acrolein) P(SA) microspheres and microspheres with attached HSA. Prior to the AFM observations the P(SA) microspheres were immobilized covalently on the surface of quartz slides modified with -aminopropyltriethoxysilane. Atomic Force Microscopy pictures were registered for the dry samples. The partial coalescence of the P(SA) microspheres connected to the quartz surface with amino groups has been observed. The AFM pictures of the single P(SA) microspheres revealed that the surface of these particles is smooth and that any irregularities, if present, do not exceed 1 nm. The surface of microspheres with attached HSA has very clearly different morphology with regular pattern of HSA macromolecules. Cracks on the surfaces of some microspheres with HSA revealed that protein macromolecules are attached to these particles in several layers. In the case of some other microspheres the defects in protein attachment allowed the observation of the border between the bare surface of the P(SA) microspheres and the surface covered with protein macromolecules. Comparison of the thickness of the HSA layers on the P(SA) microspheres with the dimensions of HSA macromolecules, determined earlier from the x-ray studies, suggests that the first layer, 3.0±0.2 nm thick, is formed of the HSA macromolecules arranged flatly on the surface whereas protein macromolecules in the subsequent layers, each 8.6±1 nm thick, are adsorbed protruding from the surface.     

Synthesis and interaction studies of benzimidazole derivative with human serum albumin

A benzimidazole derivative, 1-(2-picolyl)-3-(2-picolyl) benzimidazole iodide (PPB), was synthesized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV–visible, three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence (SF) and fluorescence spectroscopic methods were used to determine the PPB binding mode and the effects of PPB on protein stability and secondary structure. Fluorescence results revealed the presence of static type of quenching mechanism in the binding of PPB to human serum albumin (HSA). The binding constants between PPB and HSA were obtained according to Scatchard equation. The number of binding sites, the binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters were measured. The results showed a spontaneous binding of PPB to HSA through hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. In addition, the distance between PPB and the Trp 214 was estimated via employing the Förster's non-radiative energy transfer theory, and was found to be 3.49 nm, which indicated that PPB can bind to HSA with high probability. Site marker competitive experiments indicated that the binding of PPB to HSA primarily took place in subdomain IIA.

The results obtained were compared with those obtained by the classical method of equilibrium dialysis and by gel filtration. While all the methods are equally reliable, the internal and external calibration techniques seem to be superior in their simplicity, speed and convenience.

Fluorescence study on the interaction of human serum albumin with bromsulphalein

The binding of bromsulphalein (BSP) with human serum albumin was investigated at different temperatures, 298 and 308 K, by the fluorescence spectroscopy at pH 7.24. The binding constant was determined by Stern-Volmer equation based on the quenching of the fluorescence HSA in the presence of bromsulphalein. The effect of various metal ions on the binding constants of BSP with HSA was investigated. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated according to the dependence of enthalpy change on the temperature as follows: DeltaH and DeltaS possess small negative (9.3 kJ mol(-1)) and positive values (22.3 J K(-l)mol(-l)), respectively. The experimental results revealed that BSP has a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure. The binding constants between BSP to HSA were remarkable and independent on temperature. The binding constants between HSA and BSP decreased in the presence of various ions, commonly decreased by 30-55%. The hydrophobic force played a major role in the interaction of BSP with HSA. All these experimental results and theoretical data clarified that BSP could bind to HSA and be effectively transported and eliminated in body, which could be a useful guideline for further drug design.

Synthesis,characterization, and thermodynamic studies of the interaction of some new water-soluble Schiff-base complexes with bovine serum albumin

Some new water-soluble Schiff-base complexes Na₂[M(5-SO₃-2,3-salpyr)(H₂O) _n ]?·?2H₂O (5-SO₃-2,3-salpyr?=?N,N′-bis(5-sulphosalicyliden)-2,3-diaminopyridine and M?=?Zn, Cu, Ni) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, magnetic susceptibility measurement, thermal analysis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The mechanism of binding of Na₂[M(5-SO₃-2,3-salpyr)(H₂O) _n ]?·?2H₂O with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence titration revealed that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by Na₂[M(5-SO₃-2,3-salpyr)], which was rationalized in terms of the static quenching mechanism. The values of the Stern–Volmer constants, quenching rate constants, binding constants, binding sites, and average aggregation number of BSA were determined by this method. Thermodynamic parameters were calculated by the van’t Hoff equation. The data clearly indicate that the binding is entropy driven and enthalpically disfavored. Based on the Förster theory of non-radiative energy transfer, the efficiency of energy transfer, and the distance between the donor (Trp residues) and the acceptor (Na₂[M(5-SO₃-2,3-salpyr)]) were evaluated. Also the synchronous fluorescence spectra showed that the microenvironment of the tryptophan residues was not changed. Finally, our results indicate that the complexes can bind to BSA and be efficiently transported in the body, which could be helpful for further drug design.

<正>The interaction mechanism between human serum albumin(HSA) and 1-phenyl-3(fluorenone-2-yl)-5-(9-ethylcarbazole-3-yl)-2- pyrazoline(PFEP) was investigated by fluorescence and absorption titration techniques in combination with molecular modeling method.Stern-Volmer plots at different temperatures proved that PFEP could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA attributed to a static quenching procedure.The association constants were calculated in the range of 1×10~5-8×10~5mol~(-1) at different pH conditions,and the stoichiometric ratio of binding was 1:1 between PEEP and HSA.Molecular modeling study showed that the distance between indole moiety of the Trp214 residue and the carbazole group at the terminal of PFEP was 4.45 A in the optimal model.     

Synthesis and chromatographic properties of an HPLC chiral stationary phase based upon human serum albumin

Summary A new HPLC stationary phase was synthesized by thein situ covalent immobilization of human serum albumin (HSA). The protein was immobilized on a commerically available diol column which had been activated with 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole. Initial chromatographic studies show that this phase can be used for chiral separations of enantiomeric solutes and that these separations may reflectin vitro binding to the HSA. The effects of mobile phase composition and temperature on the stereochemical resolutions are reported.     

Fluorimetric study of the interaction between human serum albumin and quinolones-terbium complex and its application

A highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method is proposed for determination of human serum albumin (HSA) and some quinolone drugs. Using quinolones-terbium (Tb3+) complex as a fluorescent probe, in the buffer solution of pH 7.8, HSA can remarkably enhance the fluorescence intensity of the quinolones-Tb3+ complex at 545 nm and the enhanced fluorescence intensity of Tb3+ ion is in proportion to the concentration of HSA and quinolone drugs. Optimum conditions for the determination of HSA were also investigated. The linear ranges and limits of detection are 8.0 x 10(-9) to 8.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1), 4.20 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) (for HSA); 1.0 x 10(-6) to 4.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), 1.87 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) (for norfloxacin) and 1.0 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), 4.82 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) (for enoxacine), respectively. This method is simple, practical and relatively free interference from coexisting substances, as well as much more sensitive than most of the existing assays.     

Spectrofluorimetric determination of human serum albumin using a doxycycline-europium probe

A new spectrofluorimetric method is proposed for determination of human serum albumin (HSA) with the limit of detection at ng levels. Using doxycycline (DC)-europium (Eu³⁺) as a fluorescent probe, in a buffer solution of pH 10.2, HSA can remarkably enhance the fluorescence intensity of the DC-Eu³⁺ complex at 612 nm and the enhanced fluorescence intensity of Eu³⁺ is proportional to the concentration of HSA. Optimum conditions for the determination of HSA are also investigated. The linear ranges for HSA are 0-9.2 and 9.2-34.5 μg ml⁻¹ with limits of detection of 64 and 115 ng ml⁻¹, respectively. This method is simple, practical and relatively free of interference from coexisting substances, as well as much more sensitive than most of the existing assays. The determination results for human serum and urine samples are identical to those by the AOAO method, with relative standard deviations of five determinations of 1.1-3.6%. By the Rosenthal graphic method, the binding number and association constant of human serum albumin with the probe are 1.8 and 3.71×10⁵ l mol⁻¹, respectively.     

Polysaccharide-modified iron oxide nanoparticles as an effective magnetic affinity adsorbent for bovine serum albumin

The magnetic separation technique based on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) has potential applications in protein adsorption and purification, enzyme immobilization, cell sorting, nucleic acid detachment, and drug release. However, the naked MNPs are often insufficient for their hydrophilicity, colloidal stability, and further functionalization. To overcome these limitations, chitosan was firstly carboxymethylated and then covalently conjugated on the surface of the MNPs ranging in size from about 5 to 15 nm, which were prepared by co-precipitating iron (II) and iron (III) in alkaline solution and then treating under hydrothermal conditions. It was found that such modification did not result in the phase change of the MNPs, and the resultant modified nanoparticles were still superparamagnetic. In particular, the colloidal stability of MNPs in aqueous suspension was improved after the surface modification. By investigating the adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the modified MNPs, it was observed that the adsorption capacity of the BSA on the modified MNPs increased rapidly within several minutes and then reached the maximum value at about 10 min. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm could be fitted well by the Langmuir model. The medium pH affected greatly the adsorption of the BSA. The maximum adsorption of the BSA occurred at the pH value close to the isoelectric point of the BSA, with a saturation adsorption amount of 94.45 mg/g (25 °C). For the BSA feed concentration of 1.017 mg/ml, a high desorption percentage of 91.5% could be achieved under an alkaline condition (pH 9.4).

The study of the influence of UVC-254 nm radiation on spectroscopic and calorimetric properties of human serum albumin in aqueous solutions was conducted. This radiation did not only accelerate aging of albumin solutions but also caused the other qualitative changes. The dose dependent effect on conformational restructuring and thermal stability of albumin for exposure periods from 10 to 60 min was shown. The differences in response to UVC-irradiation between non-defatted and fatty acid-free albumins were found.     

Determination of serum albumin in the presence of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) by resonance light scattering technique

By means of the resonance light scattering (RLS) technique, a new method was developed to determine the bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) by the interaction of serum albumin with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). At Tris-NaOH buffer solution, the RLS intensity of serum albumin at the wavelength 320, 550 and 590 nm was obviously enhanced in the presence of PDDA. The influences of some experimental factors, including incubation time, addition sequence of reagents, pH value, concentration of PDDA and foreign substances, on the enhancement of the RLS intensity were examined. The optimum conditions of the experiment were selected. Under the selected experimental condition, the enhanced RLS intensities were directly proportional to the concentrations in the range of (0.0250-2.75)x10(-6) mol/L for BSA and (0.0235-1.17)x10(-6) mol/L for HSA. The detection limits (S/N=3) were 8.40x10(-9) mol/L for BSA and 7.39x10(-9) mol/L for HSA. The synthetic samples were analysed and the results obtained were satisfactory.     

Flavonolignan silibinin abrogates SDS induced fibrillation of human serum albumin

Misfolding, aggregation and fibrillation of amyloidogenic proteins have been established as hallmark events in pathophysiology of various degenerative diseases. Inhibition of protein fibrillation through use of plant derived molecular scaffolds is currently considered as one solution to it. Further, rational design of therapeutic originating with the specific plant molecular scaffolds appeared passable to aid in mitigating amyloidogenic diseases. Silibinin (SB) is a flavonolignan obtained from milk thistle plant. SB is well acclaimed as a potent hepatoprotective, cardioprotective and an attenuator of receptor signaling in case of type 2 diabetes. This work reports the inhibitory capacity of SB against protein fibrillation under experimental conditions. Human serum albumin (HSA), an ubiquitous serum protein was used and various platform studies were carried out for indepth understanding of similar effects. Biophysical studies and electron microscopy confirmed that SB inhibited HSA fibrils formations by 36% at optimal molar ratio. In silico studies further demonstrated that intermolecular hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions hindered progressive aggregation and protein fibrillation.
