human serum albumin (hsa) is the most abundant protein constituent of blood plasma. this protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 585 amino acid residues, which has many important physiological functions. hsa can bind and carry many drugs, including anticoagulants, tranquilizers, and general anesthetics. some technique such as: fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence ...

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...

streptokinase is a potent fibrinolytic agent which is widely used in treatment of deep vein thrombosis (dvt), pulmonary embolism (pe) and acute myocardial infarction (mi). major limitation of this enzyme is its short biological half-life in the blood stream. our previous report showed that complexing streptokinase with chitosan could be a solution to overcome this limitation. the aim of this re...

a quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular f•••f, br•••br and br•••o interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (bfnb). this system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. we found that fluorine atoms have weak ...

The interactions between an anionic dye, Acid Green 25 AG and the two cationic surfactants tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide TTAB, and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB in aqueous solutions far below the CMC are studied using the conductometric method at different temperature. The equilibrium constants and other thermodynamic functions for the process of dye-surfactant ion pair formatio...
