Effects of urea, metal ions and surfactants on the binding of baicalein with bovine serum albumin.

ABSTRACT: The interaction of baicalein with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated with the help of spectroscopic and molecular docking studies. The binding affinity of baicalein towards BSA was estimated to be in order of 105 M-1 from fluorescence quenching studies. Negative ?H° (-5.66±0.14 kJ/mol) and positive (?S°) (+79.96±0.65 J/mol K) indicate the presence of electrostatic interactions along with the hydrophobic forces that result in a positive ?S°. The hydrophobic association of baicalein with BSA diminishes in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) due to probable hydrophobic association of baicalein with SDS, resulting in a negative ?S° (-40.65±0.87 J/mol K). Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time of flight (MALDI--TOF) experiments indicate a 1:1 complexation between baicalein and BSA. The unfolding and refolding phenomena of BSA were investigated in the absence and presence of baicalein using steady-state and fluorescence lifetime measurements. It was observed that the presence of urea ruptured the non-covalent interaction between baicalein and BSA. The presence of metal ions (Ag+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Co2+and Zn2+) increased the binding affinity of ligand towards BSA. The changes in conformational aspects of BSA after ligand binding were also investigated using circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic techniques. Site selectivity studies following molecular docking analyses indicated the binding of baicalein to site 1 (subdomain IIA) of BSA.

In Silico Characterization of the Binding Modes of Surfactants with Bovine Serum Albumin.

Project description:The binding interactions of the surfactants: anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), non-ionic octyl glucoside (OG), and zwitterionic 3-[Hexadecyl(dimethyl)ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (HPS), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by computer simulation. The results disclosed that the surfactants bound stably between hydrophobic subdomain IIA and IIIA where tryptophan-213 residue, an important intrinsic fluorophore in BSA is housed. The interactions of the surfactants with the BSA were electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The head-groups of SDS, HPS and OG formed hydrogen bonds with the BSA, while that of CTAB was shielded from intermolecular hydrogen-bonding due to intervening methyl groups. Subsequently, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the protein-surfactant complexes revealed that hydrogen bonds formed by OG were stronger than those of SDS and HPS. However, the decomposed force-field energies showed that OG had the least interaction energy with the BSA. In addition to MD simulation, it was found by density functional theory (DFT) that the differences in the coulomb interaction energies can be attributed to charge distribution in the surfactants. Overall, free energies calculated by linear interaction energy (LIE) proved that the binding of each surfactant was dominated by differences between van der Waals interactions in bound and free states.

The interaction between bovine serum albumin and surfactants.

Project description:1. Potassium n-decyl phosphate binds exothermically to bovine serum albumin at pH 7.0 to form a specific complex containing approx. 60 phosphate anions. 2. The formation of the complex is accompanied by changes in the u.v. difference spectrum of the protein. 3. At higher phosphate concentrations (above 0.4mM) surfactant molecules continue to be bound, and the protein undergoes a gross change in conformation. 4. n-Dodecyltri-methylammonium bromide binds endothermically to bovine serum albumin at pH7.0 but the extent of binding for a given free surfactant concentration is less than for the phosphate surfactant. 5. Binding is accompanied by a small change in the specific viscosity and by changes in the u.v. difference spectrum of the protein. 6. It is suggested that over the surfactant concentration ranges studied n-decyl phosphate ions first bind to the C-terminal part of the protein and then to the more compact N-terminal part whereas n-dodecyltrimethylammonium ions bind only to the C-terminal part of bovine serum albumin.

Metal-Biosurfactant Complexes Characterization: Binding, Self-Assembly and Interaction with Bovine Serum Albumin.

Project description:Studies on the specific and nonspecific interactions of biosurfactants with proteins are broadly relevant given the potential applications of biosurfactant/protein systems in pharmaceutics and cosmetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interactions of divalent counterions with the biomolecular anionic biosurfactant surfactin-C15 through molecular modeling, surface tension and dynamic light scattering (DLS), with a specific focus on its effects on biotherapeutic formulations. The conformational analysis based on a semi-empirical approach revealed that Cu2+ ions can be coordinated by three amide nitrogens belonging to the surfactin-C15 cycle and one oxygen atom of the aspartic acid from the side chain of the lipopeptide. Backbone oxygen atoms mainly involve Zn2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+. Subsequently, the interactions between metal-coordinated lipopeptide complexes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were extensively investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking analysis. Fluorescence results showed that metal-lipopeptide complexes interact with BSA through a static quenching mechanism. Molecular docking results indicate that the metal-lipopeptide complexes are stabilized by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces. The biosurfactant-protein interaction properties herein described are of significance for metal-based drug discovery hypothesizing that the association of divalent metal ions with surfactin allows its interaction with bacteria, fungi and cancer cell membranes with effects that are similar to those of the cationic peptide antibiotics.

Lipoic Acid Restores Binding of Zinc Ions to Human Serum Albumin.

Project description:Human serum albumin (HSA) is the main zinc(II) carrier in blood plasma. The HSA site with the strongest affinity for zinc(II), multi-metal binding site A, is disrupted by the presence of fatty acids (FAs). Therefore, the FA concentration in the blood influences zinc distribution, which may affect both normal physiological processes and a range of diseases. Based on the current knowledge of HSA's structure and its coordination chemistry with zinc(II), we investigated zinc interactions and the effect of various FAs, including lipoic acid (LA), on the protein structure, stability, and zinc(II) binding. We combined NMR experiments and isothermal titration calorimetry to examine zinc(II) binding to HSA at a sub-atomic level in a quantitative manner as well as the effect of FAs. Free HSA results indicate the existence of one high-affinity zinc(II) binding site and multiple low-affinity sites. Upon the binding of FAs to HSA, we observed a range of behaviors in terms of zinc(II) affinity, depending on the type of FA. With FAs that disrupt zinc binding, the addition of LA restores HSA's affinity for zinc ions to the levels seen with free defatted HSA, indicating the possible mechanism of LA, which is effective in the treatment of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Binding Constants of Substituted Benzoic Acids with Bovine Serum Albumin.

Project description:Experimental data on the affinity of various substances to albumin are essential for the development of empirical models to predict plasma binding of drug candidates. Binding of 24 substituted benzoic acid anions to bovine serum albumin was studied using spectrofluorimetric titration. The equilibrium constants of binding at 298 K were determined according to 1:1 complex formation model. The relationships between the ligand structure and albumin affinity are analyzed. The binding constant values for m- and p-monosubstituted acids show a good correlation with the Hammett constants of substituents. Two- and three-parameter quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models with theoretical molecular descriptors are able to satisfactorily describe the obtained values for the whole set of acids. It is shown that the electron-density distribution in the aromatic ring exerts crucial influence on the albumin affinity.

Binding interaction of phosphorus heterocycles with bovine serum albumin: A biochemical study.

Project description:Interaction between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and phosphorus heterocycles (PHs) was studied using multi-spectroscopic techniques. The results indicated the high binding affinity of PHs to BSA as it quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA. The experimental data suggested the fluorescence quenching mechanism between PHs and BSA as a dynamic quenching. From the UV-vis studies, the apparent association constant (Kapp) was found to be 9.25×102, 1.27×104 and 9.01×102 L/mol for the interaction of BSA with PH-1, PH-2 and PH-3 respectively. According to the Förster's non-radiation energy transfer (FRET) theory, the binding distances between BSA and PHs were calculated. The binding distances (r) of PH-1, PH-2 and PH-3 were found to be 2.86, 3.03, and 5.12 nm, respectively, indicating energy transfer occurs between BSA and PHs. The binding constants of the PHs obtained from the fluorescence quenching data were found to be decreased with increase of temperature. The negative values of the thermodynamic parameters ?H, ?S and ?G at different temperatures revealed that the binding process is spontaneous; hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interaction were the main force to stabilize the complex. The microenvironment of the protein-binding site was studied by synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) techniques and data indicated that the conformation of BSA changed in the presence of PHs. Finally, we studied the BSA-PHs docking using Autodock and results suggest that PHs is located in the cleft between the domains of BSA.

Denaturation studies on bovine serum albumin-bile salt system: Bile salt stabilizes bovine serum albumin through hydrophobicity.

Project description:Protein denaturation is under intensive research, since it leads to neurological disorders of severe consequences. Avoiding denaturation and stabilizing the proteins in their native state is of great importance, especially when proteins are used as drug molecules or vaccines. It is preferred to add pharmaceutical excipients in protein formulations to avoid denaturation and thereby stabilize them. The present study aimed at using bile salts (BSs), a group of well-known drug delivery systems, for stabilization of proteins. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was taken as the model protein, whose association with two BSs, namely sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC), was studied. Denaturation studies on the pre-formed BSA-BS systems were carried out under chemical and physical denaturation conditions. Urea was used as the chemical denaturant and BSA-BS systems were subjected to various temperature conditions to understand the thermal (physical) denaturation. With the denaturation conditions prescribed here, the data obtained is informative on the association of BSA-BS systems to be hydrophobic and this effect of hydrophobicity plays an important role in stabilizing the serum albumin in its native state under both chemical and thermal denaturation.

Multi-spectroscopic investigation of the binding interaction of fosfomycin with bovine serum albumin.

Project description:The interaction between fosfomycin (FOS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated effectively by multi-spectroscopic techniques under physiological pH 7.4. FOS quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching. The number of binding sites n and observed binding constant KA were measured by the fluorescence quenching method. The thermodynamic parameters ?G0, ?H0 and ?S0 were calculated at different temperatures according to the van't Hoff equation. The site of binding of FOS in the protein was proposed to be Sudlow's site I based on displacement experiments using site markers viz. warfarin, ibuprofen and digitoxin. The distance r between the donor (BSA) and acceptor (FOS) molecules was obtained according to the Förster theory. The effect of FOS on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectra (SFS), circular dichroism (CD) and 3D fluorescence spectra. A molecular modeling study further confirmed the binding mode obtained by the experimental studies.

Characterization of the Binding of the Finland Trityl Radical with Bovine Serum Albumin.

Project description:Understanding the interactions of trityl radicals with proteins is required to expand their biomedical applications. In this work, we demonstrate that the Finland trityl radical CT-03 binds to bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution. Upon binding with BSA, CT-03 exhibits a much broader electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal and this line broadening can be reversed by proteolysis of the BSA. The binding induces a red-shift of the maximal UV-Vis absorbance wavelength of CT-03 around 470 nm, likely due to localization of CT-03 in the relatively hydrophobic region of the protein. The interaction between CT-03 and BSA is driven by a hydrophobic interaction with an estimated binding constant of 2.18 ×105 M-1 at 298 K. Furthermore, only one CT-03 is bound to each molecule of BSA and the binding site is determined to be the sub-domain IIA (Sudlow's site I). This protein binding of the trityl probe to albumin can be used to study the structure and function of albumin and also must be considered for its use as an in vivo imaging agent or spin label.

Conductance Changes in Bovine Serum Albumin Caused by Drug-Binding Triggered Structural Transitions.

Project description:Proteins, due to their binding selectivity, are promising candidates for fabricating nanoscale bio-sensors. However, the influence of structural change on protein conductance caused by specific protein-ligand interactions and disease-induced degeneration still remains unknown. Here, we excavated the relationship between circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and conductive atomic force microscopy (CAFM) to reveal the effect of the protein secondary structures changes on conductance. The secondary structure of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was altered by the binding of drugs, like amoxicillin (Amox), cephalexin (Cefa), and azithromycin (Azit). The CD spectroscopy shows that the α-helical and β-sheet content of BSA, which varied according to the molar ratio between the drug and BSA, changed by up to 6%. The conductance of BSA monolayers in varying drug concentrations was further characterized via CAFM. We found that BSA conductance has a monotonic relation with α-helical content. Moreover, BSA conductance seems to be in connection with the binding ability of drugs and proteins. This work elucidates that protein conductance variations caused by secondary structure transitions are triggered by drug-binding and indicate that electrical methods are of potential application in protein secondary structure analysis.
