The interaction of iodine with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) aqueous solutions was studied by means of fluorescence and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy methods. Physicochemical peculiarities of these solutions were revealed. The results showed that the tri-iodide ion formed in the 1DMSO : 2H2O solution caused the fluorescence quenching of BSA. The modified Stern-Volmer quenching constant and corresponding thermodynamic parameters, the free energy change (), enthalpy change (), and entropy change (), at different temperatures (293, 298, and 303 K) were calculated, which indicated that the hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions were the predominant operating forces. The binding locality distance r between BSA and tri-iodide ion at different temperatures was determined based on Förster nonradiation fluorescence energy transfer theory.

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.
