Binding of nitroxide stearate spin labels to bovine serum albumin.

On the Interaction of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) with Cethyltrimethyl Ammonium Chloride Surfactant: Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Study

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) has been used to monitor the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with cationic cethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) at pH 7.0. EPR results using 5-DSA and 16-DSA nitroxide spin labels show that in the presence of BSA the EPR spectra are composed of two label populations, one contacting the protein and a second one due to label localization in the m...

ESR studies of stearic acid binding to bovine serum albumin.

The ESR spectra of a series of chain-labelled doxyl stearic acids (5-, 7-, 12- and 16-DSA) and doxyl methyl stearates (5-, 7-, 12- and 16-DMS) bound to the high-affinity binding sites of bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been analyzed using nonlinear least-squares fitting of slow-motional ESR stimulation. The motional analysis reveals that the rotational diffusion of these stearates around the ax...

Human serum albumin: binding specificity and allosteric effect of parinarate and stearate. A dianionic spin label study.

A nitroxide-maleimide spin label.

was chemically bonded to poly-L-lysine and to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and showed a paramagnetic resonance spectrum that was sensitive to known structural changes in these molecules, such as those produced by changes in pH.2 This nitroxide-isocyanate is unfortunately not an ideal spin-labeling reagent since it is unstable and thus difficult to purify, and moreover the isocyanate group is rapi...

Thermodynamic Analysis for Cationic Surfactants Binding to Bovine Serum Albumin

In the present study, the binding isotherms for interaction of a homologous series of n-alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides with bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been analyzed on basis of intrinsic thermodynamic quantities. In this regards, the intrinsic Gibbs free energy of binding, AGb(i,)„ has been estimated at various surfactant concentrations and its trend of variation for both binding sets ha...
