Abstract: Fluorescence anisotropy was employed for the investigation of the association between AlS4Pc and BSA. The average binding number of AlS4Pc to BSAwas calculated and the constants of association reaction occurring in the medium of pH7.0 were shown. The results revealed that the interaction between AlS4Pc and BSAwas strong, which implied that AlS4Pc may be stored and transferred by serum albumin. The merits of the method used were also pointed out.

Key words: Phthalocyanine, Fluorescence polarization, Fluorescence anisotropy, Albumin
