Electrostatic interaction between chitosan-modified latex particles and bovine serum albumin

Electrostatic interaction between poly(methyl methacrylate) latex particles with different levels of chitosan modification and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated. The critical flocculation concentration is in the range 5–15 nmol dm⁻³ for these latex products toward added BSA. A series of isothermal equilibrium adsorption experiments shows that the adsorption process is divided into two distinct intervals. Adsorption of BSA on latex particles in intervals I and II is primarily controlled by charge neutralization and hydrophobic interaction, respectively. Intervals I and II can be reasonably described by an empirical parabola equation and the Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The maximum amount of BSA adsorbed per unit weight of polymer particles was observed at pH ≅ 5. A maximum elution yield of about 80% can be achieved using NaSCN as the elution electrolyte, and NaSCN is more effective in inducing desorption of BSA from the particle surface than NaCl. The chitosan content has very little effect on the interaction between latex particles and BSA. By contrast, the influence of the content of 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride, a cationic initiator used in preparing the chitosan-modified latex products, on the BSA adsorption process is significant.

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin to acrylamide–itaconic acid hydrogels

In this study, acrylamide–itaconic acid hydrogels containing different amounts of itaconic acid prepared by irradiating with γ radiation are discussed. They have been used in experiments of swelling, diffusion and bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption. Maximum and minimum swellings were observed with water (1520%) and BSA (890%), respectively. Diffusion of water, NaCl and BSA within hydrogels were found to be non-Fickian in character. In the experiments of BSA adsorption, type III adsorption was found. The hydrogel prepared with 60 mg itaconic acid and irradiated at 2.00 kGy was found to be the best adsorption system for BSA. The adsorption capacity of acrylamide–itaconic acid hydrogel was found to exceed that of acrylamide hydrogel by more than 80–100%.     

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin at solid/aqueous interfaces

Adsorption of soluble serum proteins on hydrophilic and hydrophobic solid surfaces is important for biomaterials and chromatographic separations of proteins. The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) from aqueous solutions was studied with in situ ATR-IR spectroscopy, and with ex situ ATR-IR, ellipsometry, and water wettablity measurements. The results were used to quantitatively determine the adsorbed film thickness and surface density of BSA on hydrophilic silicon oxide/silicon surfaces, and on these surfaces covered with a hydrophobic lipid monolayer of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The water contact angles were 5° for silicon oxide, 47° ± 1° for the DDPC monolayer, and 53° ± 1° for the BSA monolayers. At 25 °C, and with 0.01–1 wt% BSA in water, the surface densities range from Γ = 2.6–5.0 mg/m², and the film thicknesses range from d = 2.0–3.8 nm, on the assumption that the film is as dense as bulk protein. These results, and certain changes in the IR amide I and II bands of the protein, indicate that the protein adsorbs as a side-on monolayer, with some flattening due to unfolding or denaturation. The estimated -helical content for protein in buffer solutions is 15% higher than for solutions in water. The adsorption density reaches a steady-state value within 10 min for the lowest concentration, but does not appear to reach a steady-state value after 3 h f‘or the higher concentrations. Adsorption of BSA on a silicon oxide surface covered with a monolayer of DPPC leads to an adsorbed protein film of about half the thickness and surface density than on silicon oxide, but the same contact angle, indicating more protein unfolding on the hydrophobic than on the hydrophilic surface.     

Configuration of bovine serum albumin adsorbed on polymer particles with grafted dextran corona

The configuration of BSA macromolecules adsorbed on the surfaces of poly(alkylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles has been determined using small angle neutron scattering (SANS). The nanoparticles were made by anionic emulsion polymerization (AEP) and self-assembly of dextran–poly(isobutylcyanoacrylate) (PICBA) copolymers. They have a hydrophobic PICBA core and a hydrophilic dextran corona. In vivo, they are recognized by the macrophages of the mononuclear phagocyte system. The amount of BSA bound to the particles, at adsorption equilibrium, has been determined through immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and SANS. For particles with a radius of 25.3 nm, the adsorption was found to saturate at 64 adsorbed BSA molecules per particle. The configuration of the adsorbed BSA molecules was determined from the SANS scattering curves, first at full contrast, and then at contrast match. Both experiments indicate that the BSA molecules are adsorbed on the PICBA core, in a flat configuration. This result may be important for understanding the in vivo opsonization mechanisms of nanoparticles and their resulting biodistribution.     

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin on fused silica: Elucidation of protein–protein interactions by single-molecule fluorescence microscopy

The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on fused silica at pH 4.7 was studied at the single molecules level by total-internal-reflection fluorescence microscopy. This pH value was the isoelectric point of BSA. At low [BSA] of 20 pM, protein molecules adsorbed as monomers. At intermediate [BSA] of 500 pM, protein molecules adsorbed as clusters of about five monomers on average. Both monomers and clusters had adsorption rate coefficients of the order 10⁻⁷ m s⁻¹ and desorption rate coefficients of about 2 × 10⁻² s⁻¹. The respective steady-state coverage was about 10× higher than that at neutral pH, presumably because of the more favorable BSA–silica electrostatics. At pH 4.7 and with [BSA] higher than 100 nM, adsorption begot further adsorption to produce nonlinear isotherms. The coverage at 1 μM BSA was 2.5× that of the linearly extrapolated coverage. This suggests that at pH 4.7, solute–adsorbate affinity was the dominant factor that explains the enhanced adsorption observed in ensemble measurements.     

Interaction of magnolol with bovine serum albumin: a fluorescence-quenching study

The interaction of magnolol with bovine serum albumin(BSA) was studied using fluorescence spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The binding constants, K, and the ratio of quantum yields of protein fluorescence for complex and free protein, f, at 298 K, 304 K, and 310 K were obtained; the values were 6.799×10⁵ L mol^–1, 5.541×10⁵ L mol^–1, and 4.344×10⁵ L mol^–1 and 0.17, 0.30, and 0.34, respectively. The standard enthalpy change (H°) and the standard entropy change (S°) were calculated to be –28.53 kJ mol^–1 and 15.88 J mol^–1 K^–1, which indicated that hydrophobic forces played major role in the interaction of magnolol and BSA. The binding average distance between magnolol and BSA (4.32 nm) was obtained on the basis of the theory of Förster energy transfer.

Adsorption of Bovine Serum Albumin onto Polystyrene Latex Particles Bearing Saccharidic Moieties

The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto polystyrene latexes bearing various amounts of sugar moieties has been investigated as a function of pH and ionic strength and the results were compared to those for bare polystyrene latexes having negative surface charges. The functionalized latexes were produced by seeded copolymerization of (0.3 μm) liposaccharidic monomer onto polystyrene particles obtained by soap-free emulsion polymerization of styrene using potassium persulfate as initiator. At first, the electrophoretic mobility behavior of the various latexes was examined as a function of pH: a significant decrease was observed in the case of saccharide-containing latex particles compared to the bare particles. The adsorption of BSA onto these latexes exhibited a reduced amount of adsorbed BSA for those latex particles bearing saccharide groups. This adsorbed amount depends on the yield of saccharidic monomer incorporated onto the surfaces of the latex particles.     

Adsorption of bovine serum albumin at the air/water interface and its effect on the formation of DPPC surface film

The adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at the air/water interface and its effect on the transport of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) to form a surface film were studied with tensiometry, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), and ellipsometry. For 1, 10, 100, and 1000 ppm BSA solutions, the steady-state tension ranges from 55 to 50 mN m⁻¹. At pulsating area (at 20 cycles min⁻¹), both the minimum and maximum tensions decrease with increasing bulk concentration. Even though the steady-state tension is similar for 100 and 1000 ppm BSA, IRRAS and ellipsometry results indicate that the adsorbed density is higher for 1000 ppm BSA. For 1000 ppm/1000 ppm BSA/DPPC mixture, the tension behavior was found to be similar to that of 1000 ppm BSA when alone. Results from IRRAS and ellipsometry also demonstrate that BSA is the dominant adsorbed component at the air/water interface. Thus, at 1000 ppm, by adsorbing fast and possibly irreversibly, BSA interferes with the transport and adsorption of DPPC and inhibits its ability to lower the surface tension. However, when DPPC is introduced via a spread monolayer mechanism, DPPC expels partly or completely the adsorbed BSA monolayer and then controls the tension behavior with little or no inhibition by BSA. Thus, the competitive adsorption of DPPC and BSA depends strongly on the path or mechanism of introducing DPPC to the surface and involves path-dependent nonequilibrium adsorption phenomena.

Electrochemistry of the interaction of furazolidone and bovine serum albumin

The electrochemical behavior of the interaction of furazolidone (Fu) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry at a glassy carbon electrode. Fu shows an irreversible reduction at − 0.34 V in pH 4.0 Britton–Robinson buffer (B–R) buffer–10% DMF solution. After the addition of BSA into the Fu solution, the reductive peak currents decreased without any significant shift of the peak potential and the appearance of new peaks. The electrochemical parameters of the interaction system were calculated in the absence and presence of BSA. This electrochemical method was further applied to the determination of BSA samples and the results were in good agreement with the traditional cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The linear dynamic range was between 10.0 and 80.0 mg l^− 1. The detection limit was 7.6 mg l^− 1 and the recoveries were obtained from 97.0% to 104.0%.     

Fluorometric investigation on the interaction of oleanolic acid with bovine serum albumin

The interactions between oleanolic acid and bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been studied by fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), UV–vis absorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) under physiological conditions. Spectroscopic analysis of the emission quenching at different temperatures has revealed that the quenching mechanism of bovine serum albumin by oleanolic acid is static quenching mechanism. The binding sites number n and binding constants K are obtained at various temperatures. The distance r between oleanolic acid and the protein is evaluated according to the theory of Forster energy transfer. The results by FTIR, CD and UV–vis absorption spectra experiment indicate that the secondary structures of protein have been perturbed in the presence of oleanolic acid. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH⁰, ΔG⁰, and ΔS⁰ are calculated according to van’t Hoff equation, which indicates that the hydrogen bonds and van der-waals are the intermolecular forces stabilizing the complex. Molecular modeling studies the interaction BSA with oleanolic acid.

Spectroscopic investigation of interaction between mangiferin and bovine serum albumin

The mechanism of interaction between mangiferin (MA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was investigated by fluorescence spectra, synchronous fluorescence spectra, absorbance spectra and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The binding constants and binding sites of MA to BSA at different reaction times were calculated. And the distance between MA and BSA was estimated to be 5.20 nm based on Föster's theory. In addition, synchronous fluorescence and FT-IR measurements revealed that the secondary structures of the protein changed after the interaction of MA with BSA. As a conclusion, the interaction between the anti-diabetes Chinese medicine MA and BSA may provide some significant information for the mechanism of the traditional chinese medicine MA on the protein level to cure diabetes or other diseases.

CE determination of quinolones in the presence of bovine serum albumin

This article describes the influence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) as an additive on the capillary electrophoresis–potential gradient determination of five quinolones, enoxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, fleroxacin, and pazufloxacin. With 10 mg/L of BSA present in the buffer of 30 mM Tris and 3 mM phosphoric acid at pH 9, the detection limits of the five quinolones were in the range of 0.24–0.68 mg/L, i. e. 5.8–16.5‐fold lower than those obtained with the buffer devoid of BSA, and the analysis time was shortened. We suggest that the inner wall‐adsorbed BSA suppresses the adsorption of quinolones and simultaneously enhances the electroosmotic flow rate. Our experiments indicated that adopting the potential gradient detection technique could eliminate the interference of the UV‐active proteins on the detection of quinolones that would occur with conventional optical detection, and therefore offer high detection sensitivity. As a demonstration, the method was applied to the determination of QNs in fortified chicken muscle sample with satisfactory results.
