L-半胱氨酸包覆纳米ZnS荧光探针在测定人血清中蛋白质的应用

利用胶体化学方法合成和表征了功能性L-半胱氨酸包覆的ZnS纳米粒子。 在pH 5.12的NaAc-HAc水溶液介质中,当Δλ=190 nm时L-半胱氨酸包覆ZnS纳米粒子于268.0 nm处出现同步荧光峰。一定量蛋白质的加入能明显增强体系的荧光强度,并且峰强度增加值与蛋白质浓度间存在良好的线性关系,据此建立了一种高灵敏度的测定微量蛋白质的方法。用L-半胱氨酸包覆ZnS纳米粒子作为探针,不仅克服了有机染料可能出现的光漂白等缺点,而且本身不具毒性。将该法用于人血清试样中总蛋白的测定, 其结果与临床数据一致。     

Determination of Protein by Fluorescence Enhancement of Curcumin in Lanthanum-Curcumin-Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate-Protein System

We found that the fluorescence intensity of the lanthanum (La³⁺)-curcumin (CU) complex can be highly enhanced by proteins in the presence of sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS). Based on this finding, a new fluorimetric method for the determination of protein was developed. Under optimized conditions, the enhanced intensities of fluorescence are quantitatively in proportion to the concentrations of proteins in the range 0.0080?C20.0 ??g·mL^?1 for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.00080?C20.0 ??g·mL^?1 for human serum albumin (HSA) with excitation of 425 nm, and 0.00020?C20.0 ??g·mL^?1 for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.00080?C20.0 ??g·mL^?1for human serum albumin (HSA) with excitation of 280 nm, while corresponding qualitative detection limits (S/N????3) are as low as 5.368, 0.573, 0.049, 0.562 µg·mL^?1, respectively. Study on reaction mechanism reveals that proteins can bind with La³⁺, CU and SDBS through self-assembling function with electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction and van der Waals forces, etc. The proteins form a supermolecular association with multilayer structure, in which La³⁺-CU is clamped between BSA and SDBS. The unique high fluorescence enhancement of CU is resulted through synergic effects of favorable hydrophobic microenvironment provided by BSA and SDBS, and efficient intermolecular energy transfer among BSA, SDBS and CU. In energy transfer process, La³⁺ plays a crucial role because it not only shortens the distance between SDBS and CU, but also acts as a ??bridge?? for transferring the energy from BSA to CU.

Luminescencence determination of ecotoxicants in protein-based media

The structural changes in the protein macromolecules caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ecotoxicants were studied using the data on intrinsic fluorescence of proteins and fluorescence of PAH molecules introduced into proteins. A luminescence method for PAH determination in proteins was developed and used to study the interaction of two PAHs (pyrene and anthracene) with proteins of two types (bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin). The results were interpreted using the Stern–Volmer fluorescence quenching model. The association constants and the number of binding sites in the protein–ligand complexes were calculated. The binding of PAHs with proteins was described based on the static version of quenching with formation of nonfluorescent complexes of protein fluorophores with PAHs.     

抗艾滋病药物司他夫定与血液蛋白相互作用的研究

研究药物和血液中载体蛋白的相互作用对阐明药物在体内的转运、分布、代谢和药效等具有重要意义。运用稳态荧光、紫外-可见吸收光谱、动力学瞬态发射光谱和循环伏安法研究了抗艾滋病(HIV)药物司他夫定(stavudine,D4T)对人血清白蛋白(HSA)、牛血清白蛋白(BSA)和血红蛋白(Hb)三种血液蛋白的荧光猝灭机制,均为静态猝灭;得出不同温度(300 K,310 K,320 K)下D4T和载体的结合常数K_a(K_a的大小顺序为Hb＞HSA＞BSA)和结合位点数n(n均为1);分析二者结合过程的热力参数ΔH,ΔS和ΔG,三种血液蛋白均为ΔG＞0,ΔH＞0,说明D4T和载体的结合是一种自发的放热过程,同时由ΔH＜0,ΔS＜0,推测出D4T与HSA,BSA和Hb之间的结合力都为氢键和范德华力;根据Frster非辐射能量转移理论(FRET)分析了供体(蛋白)和受体(D4T)之间发生能量转移的可能性并计算了结合距离R₀和r,其中r＜7 nm且0.5R₀＜r＜1.5R₀,表明从HSA,BSA和Hb到D4T之间发生能量转移的可能性很大。同时利用同步荧光,三维荧光和圆二色谱法得出,D4T与载体结合时对载体(HSA,BSA和Hb)的二级结构无影响,且三级构象变化不大。通过本文实验可知,HSA,BSA和Hb三种血液蛋白均可作为运输D4T到靶位置的良好载体蛋白,这些结果为更深入研究D4T药物分子设计和抗HIV作用的应用提供有利的实验依据。     

Characterize the interaction between polyethylenimine and serum albumin using surface plasmon resonance and fluorescence method

Polyethylenimine (PEI) is a type of cationic polymer which is efficient in DNA transfer. The characters of PEI binding to bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin (HSA) were described by fluorescence quenching, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The fluorescence quenching results showed that the binding processes occurred on the surface of the protein molecules. The accurate binding constants between PEI and the two proteins were obtained by SPR spectroscopy. The CD spectra results showed that the confirmations of the two proteins were affected with the addition of PEI.     

酸度对氧氟沙星与牛血清白蛋白结合的影响

牛血清白蛋白在不同pH的溶液中存在N（pH ～7.0）,B（pH ～9.0）和E（pH 3.5以下）等几种同分异构形态。 采用紫外-可见光谱和荧光光谱研究了酸度对牛血清白蛋白（BSA）的结构以及对不同结构的BSA和氧氟沙星的相互作用的影响,应用荧光猝灭现象和Frster理论,求出了4个不同pH下两者结合的猝灭常数、 能量转移效率和结合距离等参数。结果显示,氧氟沙星与牛血清白蛋白在pH 4.9时结合常数最大（1.928 1×105 L·mol-1）,结合距离小（r=2.55 nm）,猝灭效应最好（8.63×104 L·mol-1）;氧氟沙星与牛血清白蛋白的结合过程中,静态猝灭和非辐射能量转移是导致牛血清白蛋白荧光猝灭的原因;中性、 弱酸和弱碱性环境对两者的结合没有太大的影响,静电作用不是两者相互作用的主要作用力。使用同步荧光技术考察了氧氟沙星对BSA构象的影响。     

人体血清中原卟啉Ⅸ自体荧光光谱研究

通过对人体血清样品和模拟人体生理条件下原卟啉Ⅸ和牛血清白蛋白混合溶液的荧光光谱测定和分析,表明人体血清中原卟啉Ⅸ的自体荧光光谱主要来自于原卟啉Ⅸ和血清白蛋白的结合形式。此外,还考察了血清白蛋白和原卟啉Ⅸ对原卟啉Ⅸ荧光发射峰的影响。和不含有白蛋白的原卟啉Ⅸ溶液相比较,白蛋白不但使原卟啉Ⅸ产生的荧光峰发生红移,而且具有很强的增敏效应。在白蛋白存在条件下,当原卟啉Ⅸ浓度值小于0.8×10-5 mol·L-1时,随着它的浓度增加,原卟啉Ⅸ的荧光发射峰稍有红移;而当原卟啉Ⅸ浓度值大于0.8×10-5 mol·L-1时,其荧光发射波长几乎不随原卟啉Ⅸ浓度而变化。     

Studies of Benzothiazole and Benzoselenazole Squaraines as Fluorescent Probes for Albumins Detection

Series of squaraine benzothiazole and benzoselenazole dyes were studied as possible fluorescent probes for the detection of proteins, particularly albumins. It was shown that majority of the studied squaraines give significant fluorescent response on the human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin presence. For squaraine dyes with N-hexyl pendent groups (P-1, P-2, P-3, P-5) about 100−540-fold fluorescence intensity increase upon albumins addition was observed. At the same time in presence of other proteins, namely insulin, avidin from hen egg white, immunoglobulin G (IgG), carbonic anhydrase fluorescence enhancement values were considerably lower —up to 43 times in IgG presence. It was noted that generally, squaraines with long N-hexyl pendent groups demonstrate higher emission increase values upon proteins addition comparing with their analogues with short N-ethyl tails. It was shown that fluorescence intensity enhancement for benzothiazole squaraine dye P-3, relates linearly to the HSA concentration over the wide range—from 0.2 to 500 μg/ml. Together with noticeable selectivity of this dye to albumins, existence of wide dynamic range gives possibility to propose P-3 dye as probe for HSA quantification.     

Studies on the interaction of gliclazide with bovine serum albumin by fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy

The interaction between gliclazide and bovine serum albumin was investigated by fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. From the experimental results, it was found that the quenching mechanism was static. The results of the synchronous fluorescence obtained indicated that the binding of gliclazide with bovine serum albumin could affect conformation in bovine serum albumin. In addition, the binding constants (K_a), binding sites (n), thermodynamic parameters, binding forces, Hill’s coefficient, and binding rate of gliclazide to protein calculated from two methods using the same equation were consistent at three different temperatures (298, 310, 318 K). This indicated that as a useful supplement to the conventional method, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy could be used to study the mechanism of drugs and proteins. The conclusion was verified by UV/vis method.     

Interaction of human serum albumin with N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-N′-(4-antipyrinyl) thiourea using spectroscopies and molecular modeling method

The interaction between N-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-N′-(4-antipyrinyl) thiourea (EPAT) and human serum albumin (HSA) was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV absorption spectroscopy. The intrinsic fluorescence of human serum albumin was quenched by EPAT through a static quenching procedure. The binding constants of EPAT with HSA were estimated according to the fluorescence quenching results at different temperatures. The binding distance was obtained and the binding force was suggested to be mainly hydrophobic force, which was in accordance with the study of molecular model. The effect of common ions on the binding constants was also investigated. A new fluorescence spectroscopy assay of the proteins is presented, and results were very satisfactory.     

pH-induced Conformational Isomerization of Bovine Serum Albumin Studied by Extrinsic and Intrinsic Protein Fluorescence

Serum albumins are multi-domain all α-helical proteins that are present in the circulatory system and aid in the transport of a variety of metabolites, endogenous ligands, drugs etc. Earlier observations have indicated that serum albumins adopt a range of reversible conformational isomers depending on the pH of the solution. Herein, we report the concurrent changes in the protein conformation and size that are inherent to the pH-induced conformational isomers of bovine serum albumin (BSA). We have investigated the fluorescence properties of both intrinsic (tryptophan) and extrinsic (ANS, pyrene) fluorophores to shed light into the structural features of the pH-dependent conformers. We have been able to identify a number of conformational isomers using multiple fluorescence observables as a function of pH titration. Our results indicate that at pH 3, a partially-folded, ‘molten-globule-like’ state is populated. Moreover, equilibrium unfolding studies indicated that the ‘molten-globule-like’ state unfolds in a non-cooperative fashion and is thermodynamically less stable than the native state. The fluorescence-based approach described in the present work has implications in the study of pH-induced conformational plasticity of other physiologically relevant proteins.

运用光谱学方法研究了在生理pH值条件下盐酸非那吡啶(PHE)与牛血清白蛋白之间的结合作用。通过荧光光谱和紫外吸收光谱确定了盐酸非那吡啶对牛血清白蛋白的荧光猝灭机理。依据Scatchard方程测定了不同温度下该结合反应的结合常数和结合位点数。根据热力学方程讨论了两者间的主要作用力类型。结合同步荧光光谱分析了盐酸非那吡啶对牛血清白蛋白构象的影响。盐酸非那吡啶对牛血清白蛋白的荧光猝灭机制主要为静态猝灭和非辐射能量转移。在15, 25, 37℃时盐酸非那吡啶与牛血清白蛋白的结合常数K_b分别为2.47×107, 9.15×106, 4.36×106 L·mol-1,它们之间平均结合位点数n为1。结合反应的热力学参数为ΔH=-71.2 kJ·mol-1,ΔS=124.8 J·mol-1·K-1。热力学函数计算结果表明,该作用过程是一个熵增加,Gibbs自由能降低的自发分子间作用过程。依据Frster能量转移理论确定PHE与BSA间的结合距离为1.61 nm。两者结合的主要作用力类型是静电作用力。盐酸非那吡啶在体内能够被血清蛋白存储和转运,但结合时对蛋白构象有一定影响。     

Alteration of the Binding Strength of Dronedarone with Bovine Serum Albumin by β-Cyclodextrin: A Spectroscopic Study

We report the influence of β-cyclodextrin on the binding of the drug dronedarone with bovine serum albumin. The stoichiometry, the binding constant, and the mode of binding of the derivative with β-cyclodextrin are studied by UV–Visible absorption, fluorescence, and 2 Dimensional Rotating Frame Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (2D ROESY NMR) spectroscopic techniques. The structure of the 1:1 inclusion complex is proposed. The binding of free dronedarone with bovine serum albumin and β-cyclodextrin-bound dronedarone are studied by fluorescence quenching and Förster resonance transfer. The decreased magnitude of the Stern–Volmer constant and the binding constant for the interaction of dronedarone with bovine serum albumin in the presence of β-cyclodextrin are articulated. The donor-to-acceptor distances in the presence and the absence of β-cyclodextrin are compared. The binding sites of the dronedarone with bovine serum albumin are reported by molecular modeling. Dronedarone binds to the sub-domain III of bovine serum albumin. The 3-(dibutylaminopropoxy)benzoyl moiety of dronedarone binds with bovine serum albumin. Encapsulation with β-cyclodextrin decreases the binding strength of dronedarone with bovine serum albumin.     

Investigation on the conformational changes of bovine serum albumin in a wide pH range from 2 to 12

The conformation of bovine serum albumin largely depends on its microenvironment pH and affects its physical functions and applications. In this study, we investigated the effects of pH (wide range 2–12) on the conformation of bovine serum albumin based on spectroscopic signals by various spectroscopic means including fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, resonance light scattering, UV-visible absorption, and circular dichroism. The changes in spectroscopic signals, such as peak position and intensity, showed that the structure of bovine serum albumin varied significantly with pH. The conformation of bovine serum albumin was compact at pH 6–7, as indicated by the largest peak position values and peak intensities in the fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, and RLS spectra. The structure of bovine serum albumin became loose in the acidic or alkaline environment, as indicated by the decreased peak position values and peak intensities. The microenvironment of the amino acid residues of bovine serum albumin also varied with pH, as indicated by the changing peak position values. At pH 7, the hydrophobicity of the tyrosine and tryptophan residues was the weakest, as indicated by the minimum synchronous fluorescence signals. In addition, the secondary structure of bovine serum albumin, especially α-helix, varied with pH. The content of α-helix reached the maximum value of 68% at pH 6–8, whereas it decreased in the acidic or alkaline environment. The study provides valuable details for studying the physiological function and applications of serum albumins.

The rotational diffusion of complexes of human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) with neutral surfactant Triton X-100 is study by analyzing the polarized tryptophan fluorescence and its parameters are determined (rotational relaxation time, diffusion coefficient, effective radius). Similarities in the solubilization of both proteins are revealed: an effective solubilization BSA and HSA in solutions containing neutral surfactant Triton X-100 is achieved at concentration of the latter of 0.3 mM, slightly greater than its critical micelle concentration (0.25 mM), with the most significant effect taking place at pH 5.0, a value close to the isoelectric points of the proteins.     

四磺基酞菁钴合成及其与牛血清白蛋白结合作用的研究

以高锰酸钾降解薛氏钠盐(6-羟基-β-萘磺酸钠)合成4-磺基邻苯二甲酸,并以此为原料“固相熔融法”合成了四磺基酞菁钴(CoPcS₄)。CoPcS₄在DMSO中发生解聚,随着pH值的升高,解聚增加。CoPcS₄以二聚体形式与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)结合后具有更强的光敏活性。分别采用紫外和荧光光谱分析方法准确测定了四磺基酞菁钴与BSA的结合位置数和结合常数。两种方法的结果基本一致,数量级皆为105 L·mol-1。CoPcS₄与BSA的首要结合位置为SiteⅠ和SiteⅡ,两种结合位置的结合能力差别不大。结果表明,CoPcS₄可与牛血清白蛋白很好地结合,白蛋白起到存储与转运作用。     

Fluorescence Study of Sinapic Acid Interaction with Bovine Serum Albumin and Egg Albumin

The mechanism of interaction of protein with compounds used for preparation of matrices for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) methods is unknown. This paper reports the investigation of this mechanism for sinapic acid and bovine serum albumin and egg albumin. To examine these interactions in water a fluorescence method was applied. Sinapic acid can exist in three different forms, depending on pH: undissociated and with one or two deprotonated groups. pK_as of these states are: 4.47 for the COOH group and 9.21 for the OH group [1]. Therefore the interactions were examined at pH: 2.0, 6.4, and 10.5. The results show that sinapic acid at pH 10.5, being a bivalent anion, does not form any complex with these two proteins. At pH 2.0, sinapic acid, being undissociated, interacts weakly with egg albumin. Sinapic acid does not interact with bovine serum albumin at this pH. At pH 6.4, sinapic acid interacts only with bovine serum albumin. Parameters of the sinapic acid and bovine serum albumin complex were calculated based on the theory of multiple equlibria: the total number of binding sites, N = 15; the binding constant, K = 600 M ^–1; and the Hill's coefficient, j = 0.97. These parameters indicate (but not definitively because a large saturation was not obtained) that this is a simple binding of sinapic acid to bovine serum albumin with the binding sites of the same type.
