TLDR
It has been shown that the binding capacity of dissolved serum albumin for methyl orange increases on dilution, and the increased binding capacity implies a change in the protein molecule.
Abstract
It has been shown that the binding capacity of dissolved serum albumin for methyl orange increases on dilution. The increased binding capacity implies a change in the protein molecule. The possible nature of this change is discussed.

Chapter 6 – Plasma Albumin

TL;DR: Two striking properties stand out upon examination of the literature on plasma albumin: the unusual affinity for ions, particularly anions, and the remarkable degree to which the molecule is capable of undergoing extensive conformational alterations apparently in a fully reversible manner.

Steroid-protein interactions studied by fluorescence quenching

TL;DR: The results suggest that testosterone binding may alter bovine serum albumin conformation and that the measured binding capacity of this protein for testosterone is dependent on the protein concentration.

Binding of phenytoin, L-tryptophan and O-methyl red to albumin. Unexpected effect of albumin concentration on the binding of phenytoin and L-tryptophan.

TL;DR: Values for the apparent association constant ( k ) and number of binding sites ( n ) could not be obtained from these plots, but it was apparent that n and/or k decrease as albumin concentration increases.

A solid-phase optoelectronic sensor for serum albumin

TL;DR: A simple solid-phase optoelectronic sensor for serum albumin covalently attached to a cellophane membrane is sandwiched between a red light emitting diode and a silicon photodiode with integral amplifier.
