Structural insights into the binding mode and conformational changes of BSA induced by bixin and crocin

Bixin and crocin are natural apocarotenoids utilized as food colorants and additives in food industries worldwide. For safety assessment, it is necessary to understand the biological interaction of food colorants. In our present study, we report the interaction of two apocarotenoids with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at physiological pH using spectroscopic techniques and in silico tools. The binding constant and the mode of binding sites have been studied. The enthalpic and entropic contribution to the intermolecular binding event was analyzed and it was found that the contribution of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions was dominant. The adverse temperature dependence in the unusual static quenching is found to be a reasonable consequence of the large activation energy requirement in the binding process, which is required to overcome the fundamental block and is a direct result of the unique microstructure of the binding sites. To confirm the experimental analysis, we investigated the binding patterns using different in silico tools. A combination of molecular docking, molecular dynamics, and toxicity analysis was performed, and the obtained results revealed that both the apocarotenoids had high binding affinity with a binding energy of ?5.44 and ?5.93 kcal/mol for bixin and crocin, respectively, with no toxic effects and are in accordance with our experimental analysis. The results directly revealed the flexibility of the protein toward bixin and crocin which has a great impact on the interaction. Thus bixin and crocin can guardedly be used as food colorants in food industries.     

Study on the interaction of fisetholz with BSA/HSA by multi-spectroscopic,cyclic voltammetric,and molecular docking technique

The interaction of fisetholz with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by multi-spectroscopic, cyclic voltammetric, and molecular docking technique. The results revealed that there was a static quenching of BSA/HSA induced by fisetholz. The binding constants (K_a) and binding sites (n) were calculated at different temperatures (293, 303, and 311?K). The enthalpy change (ΔH) were calculated to be –17.20?kJ mol^?1 (BSA) and –18.28?kJ mol^?1 (HSA) and the entropy change (ΔS) were calculated to be 35.41?J mol^?1 (BSA) and 24.02?J mol^?1 (HSA), respectively, which indicated that the interaction between fisetholz and BSA/HSA was mainly by electrostatic attraction. Based on displacement experiments using site probes, indomethacin and ibuprofen, the binding site of fisetholz to BSA/HSA was identified as sub-domain IIIA, which was further confirmed by molecular docking method. There was little effect of K⁺, Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Fe³⁺ on fisetholz-BSA or fisetholz-HSA complex. The spectra of synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) all showed that fisetholz binding to BSA/HSA leads to secondary structures change of the two serum albumins. According to the Förster non-radiation energy transfer theory, the binding distance between fisetholz and BSA/HSA was 2.94/4.68?nm. The cyclic voltammetry as a supporting tool also indicated that fisetholz interacted with protein.

Effects of homogeneous media, binary mixtures and microheterogeneous media on the fluorescence and fluorescence probe properties of some benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridiens with HSA and BSA

A rapid and efficient method for the synthesis of various poly‐substituted benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridines in high yield has been developed via the Friedländer condensation of 2‐aminoquinoline‐3‐carbaldehyde 1 with various alicyclic ketones in a base catalyst (aq. potassium hydroxide). A series of benzo[b][1,8]naphthyridines branched with various side‐chains and substituents were prepared with the aim of being investigated as a fluorescent agents. Electronic absorption and fluorescence properties of some representative benzonaphthyridines (3d, 5b and 21f) in homogeneous organic solvents, dioxane–water binary mixtures and in the microheterogeneous media (sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and Triton‐X100 micelles) have been examined. A linear correlation between solvent polarity and fluorescence properties was observed. Further, the interaction of these benzonaphthyridines (3d, 5b and 21f) with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in phosphate buffer have been examined by UV‐vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence intensity of 3d, 5b and 21f increases with the increasing HSA and BSA concentration. These benzonaphthyridines also quench the 345 nm fluorescence of BSA in phosphate buffer (λ_ex 280 nm). These compounds have potential for use as neutral and hydrophobic fluorescence probes for examining the microenvironments in proteins, polymers, micelles, etc. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Study of the Enantioselective Interaction of Diclofop and Human Serum Albumin by Spectroscopic and Molecular Modeling Approaches In Vitro

In this contribution, the enantioselective interactions between diclofop (DC) and human serum albumin (HSA) were explored by steady‐state and 3D fluorescence, ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐vis), and molecular modeling. The binding constants between R‐DC and HSA were 0.9213 × 10⁵, 0.9118 × 10⁵, and 0.9009 × 10⁵ L · mol^‐1 at 293, 303, 313 K, respectively. Moreover, the binding constants of S‐DC for HSA were 1.4766 × 10⁵, 1.2899 × 10⁵, and 1.0882 × 10⁵ L · mol^‐1 at 293, 303, and 313 K individually. Such consequences markedly implied the binding between DC enantiomers and HSA were enantioselective with higher affinity for S‐DC. Steady‐state fluorescence study evidenced the formation of DC‐HSA complex and there was a single class of binding site on HSA. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔS, ΔG) of the reaction clearly indicated that hydrophobic effects and H‐bonds contribute to the formation of DC‐HSA complex, which was in excellent agreement with molecular simulations. In addition, both site‐competitive replacement and molecular modeling suggested that DC enantiomers were located within the binding pocket of Sudlow's site II. Furthermore, the alterations of HSA secondary structure in the presence of DC enantiomers were verified by UV‐vis absorption and 3D fluorescence spectroscopy. This study can provide important insight into the enantioselective interaction of physiological protein HSA with chiral aryloxyphenoxy propionate herbicides and gives support to the use of HSA for chiral pesticides ecotoxicology and environmental risk assessment.

In vitro study on binding interaction of quinapril with bovine serum albumin (BSA) using multi-spectroscopic and molecular docking methods

The binding interaction between quinapril (QNPL) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in vitro has been investigated using UV absorption spectroscopy, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopic, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, 3D fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, circular dichroism, and molecular docking methods for obtaining the binding information of QNPL with BSA. The experimental results confirm that the quenching mechanism of the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA induced by QNPL is static quenching based on the decrease in the quenching constants of BSA in the presence of QNPL with the increase in temperature and the quenching rates of BSA larger than 10¹⁰ L mol^?1 s^?1, indicating forming QNPL–BSA complex through the intermolecular binding interaction. The binding constant for the QNPL–BSA complex is in the order of 10⁵ M^?1, indicating there is stronger binding interaction of QNPL with BSA. The analysis of thermodynamic parameters together with molecular docking study reveal that the main binding forces in the binding process of QNPL with BSA are van der Waal’s forces and hydrogen bonding interaction. And, the binding interaction of BSA with QNPL is an enthalpy-driven process. Based on Förster resonance energy transfer, the binding distance between QNPL and BSA is calculated to be 2.76 nm. The results of the competitive binding experiments and molecular docking confirm that QNPL binds to sub-domain IIA (site I) of BSA. It is confirmed there is a slight change in the conformation of BSA after binding QNPL, but BSA still retains its secondary structure α-helicity.     

Polarographic direct determination and homogeneous immunoassay of anti-human serum albumin (HSA) by parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of anti-HSA or HSA

Human serum albumin (HSA) or anti-human serum albumin (anti-HSA) yields a catalytic hydrogen wave at about -1.85V (vs Ag/AgCl) in 0.25M NH(3).H(2)O-NH(4)Cl (pH 8.58) buffer. When 1.0 x 10(-2)M K(2)S(2)O(8) is present, the catalytic hydrogen wave is further catalyzed, producing a parallel catalytic wave of hydrogen as catalyst in nature, termed the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave. The sensitivity of the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave is higher by two orders of magnitude than that of the catalytic hydrogen wave. Using the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of anti-HSA or HSA in the presence of K(2)S(2)O(8), two sensitive methods for the determination of anti-HSA were developed. One is a direct determination based on the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of anti-HAS itself, and the other is a homogeneous immunoassay based on measuring the decrease of the peak current of the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of HSA after homogeneous immunoreaction of HSA with anti-HSA. In the direct determination, the second-order derivative peak current of the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of anti-HSA itself is rectilinear to its titer in the range from 1:1.0 x 10(7) to 1:8.4 x 10(6). In the homogeneous immunoassay, the decrease in the second-order derivative peak current of the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave of HSA is linearly related to the added anti-HSA in the titer range from 1:3.0 x 10(7) to 1:6.0 x 10(6). These assays are highly sensitive and rapid in operation and can be used to evaluate such antigens and their antibodies as those that could yield the parallel catalytic hydrogen wave.     

Intermolecular interaction of fosinopril with bovine serum albumin (BSA): The multi‐spectroscopic and computational investigation

The intermolecular interaction of fosinopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor with bovine serum albumin (BSA), has been investigated in physiological buffer (pH 7.4) by multi‐spectroscopic methods and molecular docking technique. The results obtained from fluorescence and UV absorption spectroscopy revealed that the fluorescence quenching mechanism of BSA induced by fosinopril was mediated by the combined dynamic and static quenching, and the static quenching was dominant in this system. The binding constant, K_b, value was found to lie between 2.69 × 10³ and 9.55 × 10³ M^?1 at experimental temperatures (293, 298, 303, and 308 K), implying the low or intermediate binding affinity between fosinopril and BSA. Competitive binding experiments with site markers (phenylbutazone and diazepam) suggested that fosinopril preferentially bound to the site I in sub‐domain IIA on BSA, as evidenced by molecular docking analysis. The negative sign for enthalpy change (ΔH⁰) and entropy change (ΔS⁰) indicated that van der Waals force and hydrogen bonds played important roles in the fosinopril‐BSA interaction, and 8‐anilino‐1‐naphthalenesulfonate binding assay experiments offered evidence of the involvements of hydrophobic interactions. Moreover, spectroscopic results (synchronous fluorescence, 3‐dimensional fluorescence, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) indicated a slight conformational change in BSA upon fosinopril interaction.     

Probing into the binding interaction between medroxyprogesterone acetate and bovine serum albumin (BSA): spectroscopic and molecular docking methods

To further understand the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), the binding interaction of MPA with bovine serum albumin (BSA) under simulated physiological conditions (pH 7.4) was studied using fluorescence emission spectroscopy, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism and molecular docking methods. The experimental results reveal that the fluorescence of BSA quenches due to the formation of MPA–BSA complex. The number of binding sites (n) and the binding constant for MPA–BSA complex are ~1 and 4.6 × 10³ M^?1 at 310 K, respectively. However, it can be concluded that the binding process of MPA with BSA is spontaneous and the main interaction forces between MPA and BSA are van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding interaction due to the negative values of ΔG⁰, ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰ in the binding process of MPA with BSA. MPA prefers binding on the hydrophobic cavity in subdomain IIIA (site II′′) of BSA resulting in a slight change in the conformation of BSA, but BSA retaining the α‐helix structure.
