The current study was designed to investigate the interactions of an antimicrobial drug secnidazole and its two transition metal complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The interactions of secnidazole and its both transition metal complexes were confirmed by the extingushing of fluorescence intensity of the protein. The fluorescence quenching of BSA by the drug and its both metal complexes showed a static quenching process and the reactions followed exothermic mechanism. The fluorescence spectroscopic method was utilized to evaluate the thermodynamic parameters like change of enthalpy (ΔH), entropy (ΔS) and Gibb’s free energy (ΔG) which indicated the bindings of the antimicrobial agent and its both metal chelates were hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions. The binding constant and the number of binding sites were also measured by double log plot that indicated the drug or its metal complexes bound with BSA at 1:1 ratio.

Here we report the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO)-based membranes covalently combined with bovine serum albumin (BSA) for metal ions detection. In this system, BSA acts as a transporter protein in the membrane and endows the membrane with selective recognition of Co2+, Cu2+, AuCl4−, and Fe2+. Combining the metal-binding ability of BSA and the large surface area of GO, the hybrid membrane can be used as a water purification strategy to selectively absorb a large amount of AuCl4− from HAuCl4 solution. Moreover, BSA could reduce the membrane-immobilized AuCl4− by adding sodium borohydride (NaBH4). Interestingly, adsorption experiments on three kinds of metal ions showed that the GO–BSA membrane had good selective adsorption of Co2+ compared with Cu2+ and Fe2+. The morphology and composition changes of the membrane were observed with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. It is expected that this facile strategy for fabricating large-scale graphene-biomolecule membranes will spark inspirations in the development of functional nanomaterials and wastewater purification.
