Multi-spectroscopic Study on the Interaction between CdTe Quantum Dots and Bovine Serum Albumin

The interaction between CdTe quantum dots (QDs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was systematically investigated by fluorescence, UV‐vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence of BSA could be quenched by CdTe QDs with a static quenching mechanism, indicating that CdTe QDs could react with BSA. The quenching constants according to the modified Stern‐Volmer equation were obtained as 1.710×10⁶, 1.291×10⁶ and 1.010×10⁶ L·mol^?1 at 298, 304, and 310 K, respectively. ΔH, ΔS and ΔG for CdTe QDs‐BSA system were calculated to be ?33.68 kJ·mol^?1, 6.254 J·mol^?1·K^?1 and ?35.54 kJ·mol^?1 (298 K), respectively, showing that electrostatic interaction in the system played a major role. According to F?rster theory, the distance between Trp‐214 in BSA and CdTe QDs was given as 2.18 nm. The UV‐vis, synchronous fluorescence and CD spectra confirmed further that the conformations of BSA after addition of CdTe QDs have been changed.     

Spectroscopic Studies on the Binding of Kaempferol‐3,7‐α‐L‐rhamnopyranoside to Bovine Serum Albumin

The binding of kaempferol‐3,7‐α‐L‐rhamnopyranoside (KRR) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by different spectroscopic methods under simulative physiological conditions. Analysis of ?uorescence quenching data of BSA by KRR at different temperatures using Stern‐Volmer methods revealed the formation of a ground state KRR‐BSA complex with moderate binding constant of the order 10⁴ L·mol^?1. The existence of some metal ions could weaken the binding of KRR on BSA. The changes in the van't Hoff enthalpy (ΔH⁰) and entropy (ΔS⁰) of the interaction were estimated to be ?26.53 kJ·mol^?1 and 3.33 J·mol^?1·K^?1 and both hydrophobic and electrostatic forces contributed to stabilizing the BSA‐KRR complex. According to the F?ster theory of non‐radiation energy transfer, the distance r between the donor (BSA) and the acceptor (KRR) was obtained (r=2.83 nm). Site marker competitive experiments showed that KRR could bind to Site I of BSA. In addition, synchronous fluorescence, UV‐Vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) results indicated that the KRR binding could cause conformational changes of BSA.

Studies on Thermodynamics Features of the Interaction between Imidacloprid and Bovine Serum Albumin

At different temperatures, the interactions between imidacloprid （IMI） and bovine serum albumin （BSA） were investigated with a fluorescence quenching spectrum, a synchronous fluorescence spectrum, a three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum and an ultraviolet-visible spectrum. The average values of bonding constants （KLB： 3.424 × 10^4 L,mol^-1）, thermodynamic parameters （△H： 5.188 kJ,mol^-1, △G^（○—）：-26.36 kJ,mol^-1, △S： 103.9 J,K^-1,mol^-1） and the numbers of bonding sites （n： 1.156） could be obtained through Stern-Volmer, Lineweaver-Burk and ther- modynamic equations. It was shown that the fluorescence of BSA could be quenched for its reactions with IMI to form a certain kind of new compound. The quenching belonged to a static fluorescence quenching, with a non-radiation energy transfer happening within a single molecule. The thermodynamic parameters agree with △H〉 0, △S〉0 and△G^（○-）〈0, suggesting that the binding power between IMI and BSA should be mainly a hydrophobic interaction.     

Interaction Between Ginkgolic Acid and Human Serum Albumin by Spectroscopy and Molecular Modeling Methods

The interaction of ginkgolic acid (15:1, GA) with human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by FT–IR, CD and fluorescence spectroscopic methods as well as molecular modeling. FT–IR and CD spectroscopic showed that complexation with the drug alters the protein’s conformation by a major reduction of α-helix from 54 % (free HSA) to 46–31 % (drug–complex), inducing a partial protein destabilization. Fluorescence emission spectra demonstrated that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by GA was by a static quenching process with binding constants on the order of 10⁵ L·mol^?1. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH = ?28.26 kJ·mol^?1, ΔS = 11.55 J·mol^?1·K^?1) indicate that hydrophobic forces play a leading role in the formation of the GA–HSA complex. The ratio of GA and HSA in the complex is 1:1 and the binding distance between them was calculated as 2.2 nm based on the Förster theory, which indicates that the energy transfer from the tryptophan residue in HSA to GA occurs with high probability. On the other hand, molecular docking studies reveal that GA binds to Site II of HSA (sub-domain IIIA), and it also shows that several amino acids participate in drug–protein complexation, which is stabilized by H-bonding.

Binding Studies of a Schiff Base Compound Containing a 1,2,4-Triazole Ring with Bovine Serum Albumin Using Spectroscopic Methods

The binding interaction of a Schiff base compound containing a 1,2,4‐triazole ring [4‐(4‐chlorobenzyl‐ideneamino)‐5‐methyl‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiol, CTT] with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by spectroscopy methods including fluorescence and circular dichroism spectrum under simulative physiological conditions. Fluorescence investigation revealed that the fluorescence quenching of BSA was induced by the formation of a relative stable CTT‐BSA complex. The corresponding binding constants (K_a) between CTT and BSA at three different temperatures were calculated according to the modified Stern‐Volmer equation. The enthalpy change (ΔH^⊖) and entropy change (ΔS^⊖) were calculated to be −15.78 kJ·mol⁻¹ and 49.23 J·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹, respectively, which suggested that hydrophobic forces and hydrogen bond played major roles in stabilizing the CTT‐BSA complex. Site marker competitive experiments indicated that the binding of CTT to BSA primarily took place in sub‐domain IIIA (site II) of BSA. The binding distance (r) between CTT and the tryptophan residue of BSA was obtained to be 4.3 nm based on F?rster theory of non‐radioactive energy transfer. The conformational investigation revealed that the presence of CTT decreased the α‐helix content of BSA (from 58.62% to 54.66%) and induced the slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein, which confirmed some micro‐environmental and conformational changes of BSA molecules.     

Interaction of Bovine Serum Albumin with N‐(4‐Ethoxyphenyl)‐N′‐(4‐Antipyrinyl)Thiourea (EPAT) Using Spectroscopies

The interaction between N‐(4‐ethoxyphenyl)‐N′‐(4‐antipyrinyl)thiourea (EPAT) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV absorption spectroscopy. The intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin was quenched by EPAT through a static quenching procedure. The binding constants of EPAT with BSA were estimated according to the fluorescence quenching results at different temperatures. The thermodynamic parameters: enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be ?10.69 kJ/mol and 42.64 J·mol^?1·K^?1 according to thermodynamic equations, respectively, and indicating that the binding force was suggested to be mainly a hydrophobic force. The effect of common ions on the binding constant was also investigated. A new fluorescence spectroscopy assay of the proteins was presented in this paper. The determination results of the proteins in bovine serum by means of this method were very close to those obtained using Coomassie Brilliant Blue G‐250 colorimetry.

The interaction between a water-soluble cationic fluorescent conjugated polymer (WCFP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied using UV?CVis absorption, fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopies. The results show that the fluorescence of BSA is strongly quenched by the WCFP under physiological conditions (pH?=?7.4). The quenching mechanism was found to be static, which was confirmed by the quenching rate constant (Kq) and UV?CVis absorption spectra. The thermodynamic parameters (?H ^??, ?S ^?? and ?G ^??) calculated from the complexation constant, determined according to Lineweaver?CBurk equations are 38.6?kJ·mol^?1, 228?J·mol^?1·K^?1 and ?29.4?kJ·mol^?1 at 298?K. The principal interaction was proposed to be electrostatic.

Mechanism and conformational studies of farrerol binding to bovine serum albumin by spectroscopic methods

The mechanism and conformational changes of farrerol binding to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by spectroscopic methods including fluorescence quenching technique, UV–vis absorption, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy under simulative physiological conditions. The results of fluorescence titration revealed that farrerol could strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA through a static quenching procedure. The thermodynamic parameters enthalpy change and entropy change for the binding were calculated to be −29.92 kJ mol⁻¹ and 5.06 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ according to the van’t Hoff equation, which suggested that the both hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds play major role in the binding of farrerol to BSA. The binding distance r deduced from the efficiency of energy transfer was 3.11 nm for farrerol–BSA system. The displacement experiments of site markers and the results of fluorescence anisotropy showed that warfarin and farrerol shared a common binding site I corresponding to the subdomain IIA of BSA. Furthermore, the studies of synchronous fluorescence, CD and FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the binding of farrerol to BSA induced conformational changes in BSA.

Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of 2,4-Dichlorophenol with Bovine Serum Albumin

The interaction between 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy combined with UV-vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy under simulative physiological conditions. The experiment results show that the fluorescence intensity of BSA is dramatically decreased owing to the formation of a DCP–BSA complex. The corresponding effective quenching constants (K _a) between DCP and BSA at four different temperatures (292, 298, 304 and 310 K) were determined to be 10.08×10⁴, 9.082×10⁴, 8.177×10⁴, and 7.260×10⁴ L?mol^?1, respectively. The thermodynamics parameters enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be ?13.64 kJ?mol^?1 and 49.08 J?mol^?1?K^?1, which suggested that hydrophobic interaction was the predominant intermolecular force. Site marker competitive experiments indicated that the binding of DCP to BSA primarily takes place in subdomain IIA. The binding distance (r) between DCP and the tryptophan residue of BSA ias 4.09 nm according to Förster’s theory of non-radioactive energy transfer. The conformational investigation demonstrated that the presence of DCP decreased the α-helical content of BSA and induced a slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein, which confirmed the occurrence some micro environmental and conformational changes of BSA molecules.

Studies of Interaction between Ergosta‐4,6,8(14),22‐tetraen‐3‐one (Ergone) and Human Serum Albumin by Molecular Spectroscopy and Modeling

Our previous experimental results have shown that ergosta‐4,6,8(14),22‐tetraen‐3‐one (ergone) is one of the main bioactive components of Polyporus umbellatus. The efficacy of ergone binding to human serum albumin (HSA) is critical for pharmacokinetic behavior of ergone. The interactions between ergone and HSA under simulative physiological conditions were investigated by the methods of fluorescence spectroscopy, absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Fluorescence data revealed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by ergone was the result of the formation of the ergone‐HSA complex. According to the modified Stern‐Volmer equation, the binding constants (K_a) between ergone and HSA were determined. The thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change (ΔH) and entropy change (ΔS) for the reaction were calculated to be 0.989 kJ mol^‐1 and 11.214 J mol^‐1 K^‐1, indicating that the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions played a dominant role in the binding of ergone to HSA. The conformational investigation showed that the presence of ergone decreased the α‐helical content of HSA and induced the slight unfolding of the polypeptides of protein. Furthermore, displacement experiments using warfarin and ibuprofen indicated that ergone could bind to site I of HSA, which was also in agreement with the results of the molecular modeling.
