Spontaneous Denaturation as a Possible Initial Step I N the Breakdown of Serum Albumin
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Preparations of rabbit serum albumin, dialysed against rabbit plasma, were incubated at temperatures in the range 3949°C at pH 7.3 and pH values in the range 7.2-8.0 at 43°C. 2. Denaturation of the rabbit albumin was studied by measuring (a) its susceptibility to tryptic hydrolysis and (b) catabolic rates in rabbits. 3. The rabbit albumin was demonstrated to denature by both criteria. 4. Assuming a similar denaturation to take place in vivo, it is possible to account for at least 10% of the normal turnover of albumin in rabbits.

How Do Palladium Complexes Affect on Coil Structure of Human Serum Albumin in the Presence of Carbon Nanotube? A Molecular Dynamics Study
To investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([Pd(phen)(R-gly)]NO3, R = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. These drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. Human serum albumin is also ...
متن کاملStudies on the optimum pH for the action of pepsin on "native" and denatured bovine serum albumin and bovine hemoglobin.
Several studies (2-6) of the hydrolysis of proteins by proteolytic eneymes have led to the suggestion that only denatured forms of the substrate are acted on; and that where an equilibrium between native (N) and denatured (D) forms, N $ D, is not spontaneous, the initial action of a protease may be a nonhydrolytic denaturation of native substrate. Green and Neurath (7) have suggested that nativ...
متن کاملGlucose and Fluoxetine Induce Fine Structural Change in Human Serum Albumin
Human serum albumin has been used as a model protein for protein folding and ligand binding studies over many decades. Due to its long life period and high concentration in plasma, HSA is highly sensitive to glycation. It is reported that 175 mg/dL glucose concentration is a threshold of kidney activity for the beginning of excretion of glucose. pH denaturation of HSA in absence and presence of...

Human serum albumin (HSA) is an important protein that carries variety of substances like some hormones and drugs in blood. Pharmacological studies of the interaction of many drugs and HSA are reported during several decades, specially recently years. Interaction of cortisol and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) (as a common anti-stress drug) with HSA (as their carrier in blood) has been studied s...

The interaction of human serum albumin with Ethyl 2-[2-(dimethylamino)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)- 1,3-thiazole-5-yl]-2-oxoacetate was investigated by using isothermal titration UV-visible spectrophotometry in tris-buffer, pH 7.4. According to these results, it was found that there are a set of 4 binding sites for this ligand on HSA with positive cooperativity in the binding process. This thiazole deriv...
