We have investigated the gelation behavior of polyampholyte gelatin B (GB) in the presence of colloidal plasma protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a function of mixing ratio (r = GB : BSA = 1.5–4), entire pH range, and temperature (20–45 °​C).

We investigated the influence of THz laser radiation of frequencies of 1.15 THz and 3.68 THz and radiation power of about 10 Mw on protein (bovine serum albumin). Using UV spectrophotometry, we revealed increase in the optical density of irradiated samples of bovine serum albumin at the characteristic absorption bands, which is evidence of conformation changes in protein molecules

Single-molecule tracking reveals the protein bovine serum albumin exhibits anomalous kinetics with a heavy-tailed dwell time distribution on PEG surfaces. This effect is shown to be caused by the ability of the protein to oligomerize in solution.

Pressure jump kinetic studies of the conformational change occurring in bovine serum albumin in neutral solutions have been carried out over the pH range 6.5–9.5. Two distinct relaxation effects are observed at each pH. The faster relaxation is attributed to binding of the dye to the protein, and the slower relaxation is related to the conformational change occurring in the protein. This slower relaxation effect is pH dependent with a maximum value near pH 8. Detailed analysis of these data leads to a mechanism for the conformational change which indicates that the one form of the protein has an ionizable group with a pK of 8.7 which changes to a pK of 6.7 when the protein undergoes the conformational change. A simple iterative procedure is given for analyzing the pH dependence of a relaxation time constant for a cyclic mechanism involving only one ionizing group controlling the conformational change.

The domain III of bovine serum albumin containing residues 377-582 of the protein sequence was isolated and its behaviour in acid solution was studied. The fragment was found to undergo structural transformations over the pH range 3.5-4.5 known to cause N-F transition in serum albumin. On the other hand, an albumin fragment that was devoid of domain III was unable to exhibit such a transition. These results were consistent with a mechanism where N-F transition involves the separation of domain III from the rest of the albumin starts at about pH 4.3 and is completed at pH 3.5.
