Bromocresol green as a new spectrophotometric probe for serum albumins

Bromocresol green (BCG) has been employed as a new spectrophotometric probe to characterise the binding regions of human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA). BCG binds with greater affinity onto BSA than onto HSA. Based on the abilities of ligands Naproxen and l-anilino-8-naphthalenesulphonic acid (ANS) to displace BCG from the serum albumins by competitive or non-competitive mechanism, binding regions were identified for these ligands. It has been found that both Naproxen and ANS share common binding sites with BCG in HSA with the relative ability of Naproxen > ANS on binding to HSA. In the case of BSA, ANS competes with BCG for the same binding sites, whereas Naproxen exhibits non-competitive binding. The highaffinity sites of Naproxen coincide with BCG binding sites while the low-affinity sites occur at sites distinct from the BCG binding region.

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer from tryptophan in human serum albumin to a bioactive indoloquinolizine system

The interaction between a bioactive molecule, 3-acetyl-4-oxo-6,7-dihydro-12H indolo-[2,3-a] quinolizine (AODIQ), with human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied using steady-state absorption and fluorescence techniques. A 1:1 complex formation has been established and the binding constant (K) and free energy change for the process have been reported. The AODIQ-HSA complex results in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the tryptophan moiety of HSA to the probe. The critical energy-transfer distance (R ₀) for FRET and the Stern-Volmer constant (K _sv) for the fluorescence quenching of the donor in the presence of the acceptor have been determined. Importantly, K _SV has been shown to be equal to the binding constant itself, implying that the fluorescence quenching arises only from the FRET process. The study suggests that the donor and the acceptor are bound to the same protein at different locations but within the quenching distance.

Study of nobiletin binding to bovine serum albumin by capillary electrophoresis–frontal analysis and circular dichroism

A very recent epidemiological study provided strong support for nobiletin (NOB) as a potential candidate chemopreventive agent against cancer. From the pharmacology point of view, drug–protein interactions are determining factors in therapeutic, pharmacodynamic and toxicological drug properties. In this work, for the first time, detection of NOB at near‐physiological conditions was accomplished by means of capillary electrophoresis–frontal analysis (CE‐FA), and then the binding constants of NOB with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at the same conditions were determined. Complexation of NOB–BSA led to a decrease of the height for free NOB with increasing concentration of BSA. These results revealed the presence of a single class of binding site on BSA, and provided the binding constant of 10³/m , showing the strong affinity of NOB for BSA. Furthermore, circular dichroism spectra showed that, when the molar ratio of NOB to BSA was up to 2:1, NOB did not affect the overall protein conformation significantly and the protein thus retained a native‐like structure. These results may provide important information for preclinical studies of nobiletin in pharmaceutical research. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Spectroscopic studies on binding of Puerarin to human serum albumin

The interaction between Puerarin with human serum albumin has been studied for the first time by spectroscopic methods including fluorescence quenching technology, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy under simulative physiological conditions. The results of fluorescence titration revealed that Puerarin can strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA by static quenching and there is a single class of binding site on HSA. In addition, the studies of CD spectroscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy showed that the binding of Puerarin to HSA changed slightly molecular conformation of HSA. Furthermore, the thermodynamic functions ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰ for the reaction were calculated to be −9.067 kJ mol⁻¹ and 54.315 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ according to van’t Hoff equation. These data suggested that both hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction play a major role in the binding of Puerarin to HSA, which is in good agreement with the result of molecular modeling study.     

Zinc-human serum albumin association: testimony of two binding sites

The zinc cation (Zn²⁺) binding to human serum albumin (HSA) was studied using a non-equilibrium approach in order to prove two HSA binding sites. The effect of the bulk solvent pH and column temperature T on this binding and the corresponding thermodynamic data were also investigated. It appeared that the association process can be divided into two pH value ranges due to a predominant Zn²⁺ interaction with either HSA site I or site II. It was also demonstrated that the Zn²⁺ affinity for the site II was weakly affected by modifying the mobile phase pH whereas for the site I, the affinity constant increased strongly with increasing the pH of the bulk solvent.     

Spectroscopic analysis of the interaction between bilirubin and bovine serum albumin

The interactions between bilirubin (BR) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. The association constant between BR and BSA was obtained by fluorescence enhancement titration. Furthermore, fluorescence quenching was studied at different temperatures, and the binding constant was also determined by the method of fluorescence quenching. The two methods yielded similar results. It indicated that the former method could be successfully applied to the determination of BR. The results showed that the binding of BR to BSA induced conformational changes in BSA. Based on the theory of F?rster energy transfer, the distance between BR and protein were calculated. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the main binding force could be judged. The experimental results revealed that BSA and BR had strong interactions. The mechanism of quenching belonged to static quenching and the main sort of binding force was van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds.     

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.     

Molecular modeling and spectroscopic studies on binding of 2,6-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzoyl] pyridine to human serum albumin

BAFP (2,6-bis[4-(4-amino-2-trifluoromethylphenoxy)benzoyl] pyridine), a synthesized polyimide compound, was exploited for the first time to analyze its interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) by molecular modeling, fluorescence and Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (FTIR ATR) with drug concentrations of 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ to 3.0 × 10⁻⁵ mol L⁻¹. Molecular docking was performed to reveal the possible binding mode. The results suggested that BAFP can strongly bind to human serum albumin (HSA) and the primary binding site of BAFP is located in site II of HSA, which is supported by the results from the competitive experiment. The binding constants for the interaction of BAFP with HSA have been evaluated from relevant fluorescence data at different temperatures (296, 303, 310 and 308 K). The alterations of the protein secondary structure in the presence of BAFP in aqueous solution were quantitatively calculated by the evidences from FTIR ATR spectroscopes. The binding process was exothermic and spontaneous, as indicated by the thermodynamic analyses, and the major part of the binding energy is hydrophobic interaction, which is also in good agreement with the results of molecule modeling study. The enthalpy change ΔH⁰, the free energy change ΔG⁰ and the entropy change ΔS⁰ of 296 K were calculated to be −7.75, −27.68 kJ mol⁻¹ and 67.33 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, respectively.     

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.
