TL;DR: It is suggested that interactions between acidic casein-derived milk components and the biological surfaces involved in bacterial adhesion to S-HA result in an inhibitory effect that is selective for the oral streptococci examined.
Abstract: Bovine caseinate, derivatives of its glycosylated moiety [caseinoglycomacropeptide (CGP)], and caseinophosphopeptides were evaluated as inhibitors of adhesion of oral bacteria to saliva-coated hydroxyapatite beads (S-HA). All milk casein-derived components behaved as potent inhibitors of Streptococcus sanguis OMZ 9 and Streptococcus sobrinus OMZ 176 adhesion to S-HA, whereas neither bovine serum albumin nor polyethyleneglycol were able to interfere with the adhesion of these strains. By contrast, none of the molecular species tested was able to inhibit the attachment of Actinomyces viscosus Ny 1 to S-HA. On the other hand, casein derivatives were shown to displace human serum albumin from S-HA beads. They were also able to bind to the bacterial cell surface of all strains examined. Collectively, these findings suggest that interactions between acidic casein-derived milk components and the biological surfaces involved in bacterial adhesion to S-HA result in an inhibitory effect that is selective for the oral streptococci examined.

TL;DR: The steady-state fluorescence studies and FTIR spectra suggest that in both the albumins, C and EC stabilize the α-helix at the cost of a corresponding loss in the β-sheet structure.

TL;DR: The main determinants of the cobalt-HSA binding assay mechanism of action include but are not limited to: the proportion of intact N-terminus of HSA, HSA concentration, plasma cysteine/cystine ratio, plasma pH, and the state of oxidation of cys34 of H SA.

TL;DR: Capillary electrophoresis frontal analysis was applied to 12 low molecular weight compounds including 8 drug substances displaying a range of different properties with respect to binding affinity, binding location, structure, lipophilicity, charge at physiological pH, and electrophoretic mobility and indicated that mobility differences between free and complexed human serum albumin give rise to only minor errors.
Abstract: Capillary electrophoresis frontal analysis was applied to 12 low molecular weight compounds including 8 drug substances displaying a range of different properties with respect to binding affinity, binding location, structure, lipophilicity, charge at physiological pH, and electrophoretic mobility. It was found that capillary electrophoresis frontal analysis can be used as a general method to study and quantify drug-human serum albumin interactions. The binding parameters obtained were consistent with literature values. Dextran was in some cases added to the run buffer to improve separation of the drug and human serum albumin plateau peaks. Results indicate that mobility differences between free and complexed human serum albumin give rise to only minor errors. Capillary electrophoresis frontal analysis was also found applicable to the study of human serum albumin drug displacement reactions. Low sensitivity of the UV-detection system was found to be the major limitation of capillary electrophoresis frontal analysis. The method is simple, and minimal effort has to be put into method development, which makes it well suited for screening in early drug development.
