The supramolecular aggregation processes occurring on metallic (aluminum and gold) surfaces in aqueous solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) during drying were studied using advanced scanning electron microscopy (SEM). possible mechanism for the formation amazing intricate fractal structures was proposed based analysis SEM images, size distribution diagrams EDX-scanning element maps.

A galactolipid lipase from primary bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) leaves has been used to partially deplete spinach chloroplast inner membranes of their galactolipids. Chloroplasts treated with the lipase in the absence of bovine serum albumin lost 91% of their monogalactosyl diglyceride, 83% of their digalactosyl diglyceride, all of their phosphatidyl choline, but none of their sulfolipid. Electron...

The continuous search for new molecules with therapeutic abilities has led to the synthesis and characterization of a large number of metal complexes, proven to exhibit potential as pharmacological agents through their antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antineoplastic properties. As serum albumins play a key role in drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, the study of coordination com...

The interaction between Avelox and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated at different temperatures by fluorescence spectroscopy. Results showed that Avelox could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA strongly, and the quenching mechanism was a static quenching process with Förester spectroscopy energy transfer. The electrostatic force played an important role on the conjugation reactio...

cow's milk allergy (cma) is an immunological response to cow's milk proteins such as casein, α-lactalbumin and β lactoglobulin. the aim of this study was to determine the most common cow's milk allergenic proteins in patients with cma and identify the most effective proteins in different allergic symptoms. eighty seven patients (≤18 years) with allergy to cow’s milk from 2006 to 2013 entered th...

Objective: The study ondrug–protein interactions is an important field of interest because the prospective unraveling drug action mechanisms and possibility designing novel medicines. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied extensively its structural homology with human (HSA). objective work was to interaction between β-sitosterol Luteolin–7-glucoside bovine investigated by molecular dockin...

In this work we return to the problem of the determination of ligand-receptor binding stoichiometry and binding constants. In many cases the ligand is a fluorescent dye which has low fluorescence quantum yield in free state but forms highly fluorescent complex with target receptor. That is why many researchers use dye fluorescence for determination of its binding parameters with receptor, but t...
