The morphology of nanomaterials may affect their interaction with biomacromolecules such as proteins. Previous work has studied the size-dependent binding of pristine nC60 to bovine/human serum albumin using the fluorometric method and found that the fluorescence inner filter effect might affect this interaction. However, if it is necessary to accurately calculate and obtain binding information, the fluorescence inner filter effect should not be ignored. This work aimed to further investigate the effect of the fluorescence inner filter on the interaction between pristine nC60 with different particle sizes (140–160, 120–140, 90–110, 50–70, and 30–50 nm) and bovine serum albumin for a more accurate comprehension of the binding of pristine nC60 to bovine serum albumin. The nC60 nanoparticles with different size distributions used in the experiments were obtained by the solvent displacement and centrifugation method. UV-Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to study the binding of nC60 with different size distributions to bovine serum albumin (BSA) before and after eliminating the fluorescence inner filter effect. The results showed that the fluorescence inner filter effect had an influence on the interaction between nC60 and proteins to some extent, and still did not change the rule of the size-dependent binding of nC60 nanoparticles to BSA. Further studies on the binding parameters (binding constants and the number of binding sites) between them were performed, and the effect of the binding on BSA structures and conformation were also speculated.

The water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte, poly[3-(1′-propyloxy-3′-sodium sulfonate) thiophene] (PTH-n3-SO3Na), was prepared. The interaction between the PTH-n3-SO3Na and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy. It was found that the PTH-n3-SO3Na could be used as biosensor to detect BSA.

Abstract The interactions between cocopropane bis-guanidinium acetates, tallowpropane bis-guanidinium acetates with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in an aqueous solution were studied by fluorescence and circular dichroic spectroscopy measurements. The aim of the study was to elucidate the influence of the hydrophilic group and the length of the hydrophobic chain of these surfactants on the mechanism of binding to BSA. The results revealed that for both surfactants, at low concentrations, the Stern–Volmer plots had an upward curvature and at high concentrations, the quenching efficiency was decreased with increase in surfactant concentration. Different thermodynamics parameters demonstrated the existence of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force which acting as binding forces. Static quenching was observed among the protein and surfactant. The conformation of BSA was changed at higher surfactant concentrations as shown by synchronous fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. This work reveals the mechanism and binding characteristics between guanidine surfactants and protein, and provided the basis for further applications of surfactants.

Albumin reduces capillary hydraulic conductance (Lp) even at low concentrations. To determine if part of this barrier protective effect might be extracellular, we studied the effects of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on Lp of self-assembled basement membrane (Matrigel). Lp with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) buffer superfusate was stable at 1.77 +/- 0.22 x 10(-5) (SE) cm.s-1.cmH2O-1 over several hours. At 0.1 g/dl BSA, experimental/control (Tris) Lp fell to 83.1 +/- 6.0% (2P < 0.025), with decreases to 72.4 +/- 3.7% at 1 g/dl (2P < 0.005), 45.3 +/- 5.1% at 2.5 g/dl (2P < 0.001), and 45.0 +/- 4.8% at 4.0 g/dl (2P < 0.001). In separate experiments, BSA arginine groups were neutralized by 1,2-cyclohexanedione (CHD), and experimental/control Lp values were measured. At 2.5 g/dl, CHD-BSA depressed Lp to 54.4 +/- 4.8%, while unmodified BSA reduced Lp to 40.8 +/- 3.5% of Tris control (2P = 0.05). Finally, soluble arginine at three- and sixfold the arginine in BSA was added to BSA superfusate. For threefold, Lp rose to 120 +/- 8% of BSA level and for sixfold to 129 +/- 9% (2P < 0.05). We conclude that some part of the albumin protective effect is very likely due to consequences on extracellular matrix and that at least 18-22% of this effect is related to arginine groups on albumin when computed from Lp, and up to 34% when viscosity is taken into account. Membrane-saturable arginine-binding sites can be unbound with arginine, thus nullifying part of the barrier protective effect of BSA.

We investigated reports that mitochondria isolated from hypothyroid rats have decreased ADP/O and H+/O ratios. We observed no decrease in the H+/O ratio in mitochondria from hypothyroid rats, in the presence of either 2% (w/v) fatty-acid-free bovine serum albumin or 100 nM free Ca2+. The ADP/O ratio in mitochondria isolated from hypothyroid rats in the presence of 2% fatty-acid-free bovine serum albumin was measured. Under normal experimental conditions we found no decrease in the ADP/O ratio, relative to that measured for littermate controls. At the low concentrations of mitochondrial protein used in the previously reported studies, the ADP/O ratio of mitochondria from hypothyroid rats was decreased, whereas that for control rats was only slightly decreased. The difference between the ADP/O ratios measured for mitochondria form hypothyroid rats and from control rats under these conditions was eliminated by inhibition of endogenous adenylate kinase. We suggest that the lowering of the apparent ADP/O ratio in mitochondria from hypothyroid rats at low concentrations of mitochondrial protein is an experimental artefact resulting from the breakdown of ADP to AMP.

The interaction conditions between the water-soluble chitosans(WSC) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by Ultraviolet-visible absorption and fluorescence spectrometries. It was shown there was a good linear relationship between the absorbency A and the BSA concentration(0~1.5g/L) and WSC concentration (0~1.5 g/L). The fluorescence quenching of WSC to BSA was static quenching. When the temperature is 30°C, its binding constant Ka=5.35×104 L/mol, binding site n=1.05. The influence of WSC on the conformation of BSA was analyzed by sychronous fluorescence spectra and three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum.

The synthesis of nanoparticles inside microorganisms is an economical alternative to chemical and physical methods of nanoparticle synthesis. In this study, ferrihydrite nanoparticles synthesized by Klebsiella oxytoca bacterium in special conditions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDS), small-angle X-ray (SAXS), UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorescence, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and molecular docking. The morphology and the structure of the particles were characterized by means of SEM and SAXS. The elemental content was determined by means of the EDS method. The absorption properties of the ferrihydrite nanoparticles were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The binding mechanism of the biogenic ferrihydrite nanoparticles to Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein, studied by fluorescence, showed a static and weak process, combined with FRET. Protein denaturation by temperature and urea in the presence of the ferrihydrite nanoparticles demonstrated their influence on the unfolding process. The AutoDock Vina and UCSF Chimera programs were used to predict the optimal binding site of the ferrihydrite to BSA and to find the location of the hydrophobic cavities in the sub-domain IIA of the BSA structure.

AbstractNanosphere lithography (NSL) derived triangular Ag nanoparticles were used to create an extremely sensitive and specific optical biological and chemical nanosensor. Using simple UV-vis spectroscopy, biotinylated surface-confined Ag nanoparticles were used to detect streptavidin down to one picomolar concentrations. The system was tested for nonspecific binding interactions with bovine serum albumin and was found to display virtually no adverse results. The extremely sensitive and selective response of the Ag nanoparticle sensor indicates an exciting use for biological and chemical sensing.
