Site-selective probe for investigating the asynchronous unfolding of domains in bovine serum albumin

A convenient method is proposed for precise investigation of the asynchronous structural transition of the domains in bovine serum albumin (BSA) during unfolding process. The method is based on a site-selective probe, alizarin red S (ARS), which has a high affinity to the subdomain IIA of BSA. BSA-ARS complex was formed and gradually unfolded by urea from 0 to 8.0 M. The unfolding occurred in different domains of BSA resulted in distinct alterations of the microenvironment of the bound ARS. The spectral response of BSA-ARS complex, including the color, the UV absorption at 530 and 432 nm, and the intrinsic fluorescence at 342 and 310 nm with the excitation wavelength of 280 nm, showed slight changes in the urea concentration from 0 to 4.5 M, drastic changes from 4.5 to 6.0 M, and almost no changes from 6.0 to 8.0 M. The redox behavior of bound ARS between 0.3 and 0.8 V also showed the same trend. Consequently, a two-step, three-state transition process was monitored by naked eyes, UV-vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry. It is the first report to realize the indicator of the intermediate state during the unfolding process of BSA through convenient methods instead of expensive approaches. The work provides a facile method for the investigation of the unfolding process of multidomain proteins.

Binding of naproxen to bovine serum albumin and tryptophan-modified bovine serum albumin

Two classes of binding sites, a single high-affinity site with an association constant of 4·8×10⁶ M⁻¹ and two low-affinity sites with association constant of about 0·05×10⁶ M⁻¹ have been observed in the interaction of Naproxen with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Chemical modification of two tryptophan residues in BSA with 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide has led to a reduction in the association constant of the high-affinity site by 89% and its number of binding sites by 66% suggesting the involvement of tryptophan residues in the high-affinity site. In contrast, the two low-affinity sites were not affected by the modification. Binding of Naproxen to the low-affinity sites of BSA induces microdisorganisation of the albumin structure leading to conformational changes as evident from fluorescence measurements with 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulphonic acid as the probe.

Fluorescence quenching of bovine serum albumin.

The fluorescence emission spectra and 3D fluorescence spectra of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) reversed micelles were affected by the microenvironment. Blue shifts of the fluorescence emission peaks were found when BSA was present in CTAB reversed micelles. The fluorescence intensity changed with the water content. Similar changes in the peak regions of the 3D fluorescence spectra were also observed. CdS nanoparticles prepared in CTAB reversed micelles quenched the fluorescence of BSA significantly. The fluorescence of BSA was more effectively quenched by negative CdS nanoparticles than by positive or neutral CdS ones. The quenching degree increased linearly with increasing the concentration of negative CdS nanoparticles over the range of 5.0 x 10(-6) - 3.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1). The quenching mechanism is discussed and the quenching constant is 1.32 x 10(4) L mol(-1).

Pulsed-electric-field crossflow ultrafiltration of bovine serum albumin

A conventional crossflow ultrafiltration (CUF) apparatus was modified by the inclusion of electrodes which permitted a pulsed electric field to be produced across the ultrafiltration membrane (PEF-UF process). Using this apparatus, a discontinuous electrophoretic velocity was imposed upon the proteins being concentrated, opposing their convective movement toward the CUF membrane. This resulted in a lower concentration of rejected solute protein in the fluid boundary layer adjacent to the high-pressure side of the membrane and, hence, in a lower solute-related filtration resistance than in the case of conventional ultrafiltration (zero electric field). Studies of the PEF-UF process with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the range of 0.5–5% w/v demonstrated a 25–40% decrease in the solute-related resistance to the permeate flux compared to the case of a zero electric field. Accordingly, higher permeate fluxes and, therefore, higher rates of concentration of the protein solution were obtained than for conventional crossflow ultrafiltration. When the electric field was reimposed following a period of operation under conventional CUF conditions, the permeate flux could be restored to nearly the same higher value observed initially for the PEF-UF process.     

Temperature dependence on the binding of butyl orange by bovine serum albumin

The binding of 4′-dibutylaminoazobenzene-4-sulfonate anion (butyl orange) by bovine serum albumin has been examined quantitatively by an equilibrium dialysis method at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 35°C. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters for the formation of the first dye anion-protein complex have been calculated. The peculiar temperature dependence of the first binding constant could be observed. That is, the value of the first binding constant increases with increasing temperature until it reaches a maximum value at approximately 18°C and then decreases with raising temperature. Accordingly, this binding process is exothermic above 18°C and is endothermic below 18°C. Near 18°C the process exhibits athermal reaction. From the thermodynamic data obtained, it is evident that the favorable free energy of the binding is accompanied by an entropy gain and that the enthalpies of the binding vary from a positive (unfavorable) value below 18°C to a negative (favorable) one above 18°C. Furthermore an apparent temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions was observed. That is, ΔF° becomes larger in absolute magnitude as the temperature increases. The positive quantity of ΔS° tends to decrease with increasing temperature. All these facts can be interpreted satisfactorily in terms of hydrophobic interactions between hydrophobic portions of the dye and nonpolar parts of the albumin.     

Chiral resolution of tryptophan derivatives by CE using canine serum albumin and bovine serum albumin as chiral selectors

This work deals with the application of BSA and canine serum albumin (CSA) for enantioseparation of tryptophan derivatives with CE. The aim of this work was the investigation of the influence of different functional groups of tryptophan derivatives on enantioseparation. CSA as a chiral selector was tested to compare its selector properties with those of BSA. The enantiomers of the tryptophan derivatives were separated by adding BSA or CSA to the BGE. The influence of pH, temperature, BSA and CSA concentration and organic modifiers was investigated. It was found that the stereoselectivity for the different tryptophan derivatives is dependent on the albumin species. It turned out that the different functional groups of the derivatives showed a significant influence on stereoselectivity.     

Study on the chemiluminescence behavior of bovine serum albumin with luminol and its analytical application

In this paper, the luminescence behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and luminol was first studied by flow injection chemiluminescence (CL). It was found that the hyperchromic effect of luminol in the presence of BSA led to the acceleration of the electrons transferring rate of excited 3-aminophthalate, which greatly enhanced the CL intensity of luminol/dissolved oxygen reaction. The increments of CL intensity were proportional to the concentrations of BSA with a linear range from 0.01 to 7 nmol L(-1). It was also found that azithromycin could inhibit the CL intensity of luminol/BSA reaction. The decrements of CL intensity were logarithm over the concentrations of azithromycin ranging from 0.1 to 700 ng mL(-1). At a flow rate of 2.0 mL min(-1), a complete analytical process, which included sampling and washing, could be performed within 30s with relative standard deviations of less than 3.1%. This proposed method was successfully applied in assaying azithromycin in pharmaceutical and human serum samples with recoveries from 91.0 to 104.3%. The possible luminescence mechanism of luminol/BSA/azithromycin reaction was discussed in detail by CL, UV and fluorescence methods.
