Abstract: | A new strategy to evaluate accessibility of antioxidants to radical proteins has been developed using nitroxide prefluorescent probes anchored into human serum albumin (HSA). Binding association constants for the nitroxide probes C343T and QT with HSA were 5 × 104 and 9 × 104 M−1, respectively. Rate constants for the nitroxide reduction by antioxidants in HSA were determined finding kHSA/kbuffer ratio of 0.8, 1.9, and 0.075 for ascorbic acid, Trolox, and caffeic acid, respectively, for the nitroxide C343T reduction. |
