Abstract:

The interactions between eight polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs) and human serum albumin(HSA) were studied by using surface plasmon resonance(SPR) and molecular docking technologies. The results of SPR kinetic analysis showed that both the number and substitution position of bromine on PBDEs had regular influences on the interaction. Bromine atoms mainly affected the dissociation rate of interaction, cau- sing the affinity of PBDE and HSA to increase with the number of bromine atoms. The position of bromine on PBDEs mainly affected the association rate of interaction, resulting in the high affinity of m-substituted PBDE and HSA than that of o-substituted PBDE in isomers. The results of molecular docking indicated although all PBDEs were mainly bound to site I of HSA, the difference of amino acid residues around the binding site affected the binding ability. The van der Waals force and hydrogen bond force had greater contribution to binding free energy than electrostatic force. The experimental datum of SPR were in good agreement with the results of computer simulation.
