Abstract The interactions between cocopropane bis-guanidinium acetates, tallowpropane bis-guanidinium acetates with bovine serum albumin (BSA) in an aqueous solution were studied by fluorescence and circular dichroic spectroscopy measurements. The aim of the study was to elucidate the influence of the hydrophilic group and the length of the hydrophobic chain of these surfactants on the mechanism of binding to BSA. The results revealed that for both surfactants, at low concentrations, the Stern–Volmer plots had an upward curvature and at high concentrations, the quenching efficiency was decreased with increase in surfactant concentration. Different thermodynamics parameters demonstrated the existence of hydrogen bond and van der Waals force which acting as binding forces. Static quenching was observed among the protein and surfactant. The conformation of BSA was changed at higher surfactant concentrations as shown by synchronous fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. This work reveals the mechanism and binding characteristics between guanidine surfactants and protein, and provided the basis for further applications of surfactants.
