Abstract:

Fluorescence anisotropy was employed to investigate the interaction of 1-hydroxypyrene(1-OHP), the metabolism biomarker of PAHs in vivo, with a model transport protein of bovine serum albumin(BSA) under simulated physiological conditions. Combined with synchronous fluorescence spectra, the conformation transition of BSA was also investigated. The experiment results showed that 1-OHP can bind to BSA strongly and a 1∶1 complex was formed, with an average binding equilibrium constant of 3.63×106 L/mol. Also as the amounts of BSA differ, the interaction of 1-OHP and BSA was dominated by strong and weak binding modes alternately. Moreover, 1-OHP can bind to tryptophan residues and induce the conformational and micro-environmental changes of BSA, increasing the tryptophan residue of BSA exposuring to a less hydrophobic micro-environment.
