Abstract: The interaction of recombinant endostatin with lanthanides and heparin was studied by fluorescence and CD spectra. The results indicate that the binding of lanthanides, heparin to recombinant endostatin(rhES) causes quenching of its fluorescence and conformational changes of rhES.The binding of lanthanides to rhES can affect the interaction between its protein and heparin and decrease the inhibiting activity of rhES to the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell.
