Abstract: | The association rate constant for the binding of bilirubin to bovine serum albumin has been determined in a continuous-flow experiment. The value obtained is 0.9 x 106m?1S?1. Furthermore the dissociation rate constant is determined from the rate of the peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of bilirubin in a bilirubin-albumin solution. This figure is 3.1 × 10?2s 1. Calculation of the apparent binding equilibrium constant from the two rate constants gives 2.9 x 107m?1. The above mentioned peroxidase oxidation has also been used for a direct estimation of the binding equilibrium constant giving 2.7 × 107m?1. All experiments are carried out at 36 °C and pH 7.4. |
