Spectroscopic studies on the interaction between methylene blue and bovine serum albumin

TLDR
In this paper, the interaction between methylene blue (MB) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence and UV-vis absorbance spectroscopy.
Abstract
The interaction between methylene blue (MB) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence and UV–vis absorbance spectroscopy. In the mechanism discussion, it was proved that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by MB is mainly a result of the formation of MB–BSA complex and electrostatic interactions play an important role to stabilize the complex. The Stern–Volmer quenching constant K SV and corresponding thermodynamic parameters Δ H , Δ G , and Δ S were calculated. The distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (MB) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). The effect of MB on the conformation of BSA has been analyzed by means of UV–vis absorbance spectra and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy.

Characterization of the baicalein–bovine serum albumin complex without or with Cu2+or Fe3+ by spectroscopic approaches

TL;DR: Results indicate that the binding of baicalein to BSA causes apparent change in the secondary structure of BSA, but does not affect the polarity around the chromophore molecule.

Studies of the interaction between paraquat and bovine hemoglobin.

TL;DR: Hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions played a major role in stabilizing the complex and fluorescence quenching of BHb by PQ was a result of the formation of PQ-BHb complex.

Analysis of binding interaction between puerarin and bovine serum albumin by multi-spectroscopic method.

TL;DR: It was found that both static quenching and non-radiation energy transfer were the main reasons for the fluorescence quenched, and the interaction of puerarin and BSA was driven mainly by hydrophobic forces.

Structure of serum albumin.

TL;DR: This chapter provides an insight of the findings of past significant papers with the current knowledge of the recently determined high resolution X-ray structure of serum albumin and suggests that AFP may have a higher affinity for some unknown ligands important for fetal development.

TL;DR: The results of the model compound study provide evidence for a mechanism that follows the classical Stern-Volmer law (1919), predominantly involving collisional quenching, and illustrate the importance of local charge and solvent viscosity.
