The interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and two cleavable anionic surfactants, sodium 3-[(2-nonyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methoxy]propane-1-sulfonate (SNPS) and sodium 3,3′-(2-nonyl-1,3-dioxane-5,5-diyl)bis(methylene)bis(oxy)dipropane-1-sulfonate (SNDPS), have been studied by means of fluorescence spectroscopy and thermodynamic analysis. The fluorescence of BSA is quenched via a static quenching mechanism with the addition of the surfactants. The binding constants of the surfactants and proteins have been measured, with KA(SNPS) = 8.71×104 M−1 and KA(SNDPS) = 7.08 × 104 M−1, respectively. The interaction between surfactants and BSA is mainly of hydrophobic nature, based on the number of binding sites, n[n(SNPS) = 1.57, n(SNDPS) = 1.47], and the thermodynamic relationship. These results suggest that SNPS and SNDPS could be effective protein denaturants for protein separation and analysis.

We recently described an artificial substrate system which could be used to optimize labeling parameters in EM immunocytochemistry (ICC). The system utilizes blocks of glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine serum albumin (BSA) into which an antigen is incorporated by a soaking procedure. The resulting antigen impregnated blocks can then be fixed and embedded as if they are pieces of tissue and the effects of fixation, embedding and other parameters on the ability of incorporated antigen to be immunocyto-chemically labeled can then be assessed. In developing this system further, we discovered that the BSA substrate can also be dried and then sectioned for immunolabeling with or without prior chemical fixation and without exposing the antigen to embedding reagents. The effects of fixation and embedding protocols can thus be evaluated separately.
