Abstract:

The interaction between gallium 5, 10, 15-tris(4-methylpyridiniumyl)corrole(1-Ga) and human serum albumin(HSA) was investigated using UV-Vis spectra, fluorescence spectra, circular dichroism(CD) spectra and molecular docking simulation. The results reveal that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by 1-Ga is a static quenching process. The binding constant of complex 1-Ga with HSA is 2.82×104 L/mol, and bin-ding distance r=3.342 nm. Thermodynamic parameters show the interaction is mainly driven by hydrophobic and hydrogen binding forces. Site marker competition experiment indicates 1-Ga preferably bind to ibuprofen site Ⅱ of HSA. Also, α-helix content of HSA will decrease upon binding 1-Ga as indicated by UV-Vis and CD spectroscopy. Molecular docking simulation confirmed 1-Ga bind to the hydrophobic pocket site Ⅱ in domain ⅢA of HSA.
