The interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with phosphotungstic heteropoly acid (PW), silicon tungsten heteropoly acid (SiW) and silicon tungsten-cobalt acid (SiWCo) were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and UV absorption spectroscopy at Tris buffer solution (pH = 7.40). It was found that the fluorescence quenching of PW, SiW and SiWCo with BSA was static and the binding constant, binding site and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated at 298 and 310K. In addition, the conformations of BSA impacted by PW, SiW and SiWCo were researched using synchronous fluorescence. The results showed that PW, SiW and SiWCo all could interact with BSA but they had not changed the conformation of BSA.

A supramolecular complex of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with acid cyanine 5R (AC 5R, C.I. acid blue 113, C.I.: 26360) has been shown to form in Tris–HCl buffer solution (pH 7.42) by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), fluorimetry, and spectrophotometry. The binding ratio and binding constant of BSA with AC 5R have been detected by LSV and fluorimetry. The binding mechanism is also preliminarily discussed. In Tris–HCl buffer solution (pH 7.42), AC 5R can easily be reduced on the mercury electrode, and it has a well-defined LSV peak current (Ip) and peak potential (Ep) at –0.65 V (vs. SCE). In the presence of BSA, the Ipof AC 5R decreases, and the peak potential (Ep) shifts to a more positive potential. The decrease of the second-order derivative of reductive peak current (ΔIp") of AC 5R is proportional to the logarithm of BSA concentration in the range of 1.54 × 10–8mol·L–1– 1.54 × 10–5mol·L–1(r = 0.9931 – 0.9977). The limit of detection of BSA is 9.0 × 10–9mol·L–1. The relative standard deviation is 1.83% (n = 10), and the standard recovery is 97.5%–104.8%. This method can be used to determine BSA concentration on the basis of the interaction of BSA with AC 5R.Key words: bovine serum albumin (BSA), acid cyanine 5R (AC 5R), supramolecule, binding ratio, binding constant, fluorimetry, spectrophotometry, electroanalytical method.

Driven by the urgent demand for novel electrochemiluminescence reagents, a water-soluble polyfluorene derivative, poly [(9,9-bis (3-((N,N-dimethylamino)N-ethy-lammonium) propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-p-divinylbenzene)] dibromide (P-2), was designed and success-fully synthesized. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize the formation of P-2, and the results showed that P-2 had strong fluorescence intensity. More importantly, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of the prepared P-2 was also observed when the applied potential was cycled between 1.0 to 2.8 V at 100 mV·s-1 in phosphate buffered saline buffer solution (pH 8.20). Based on the stable ECL performance, an ECL system for bovine serum albumin (BSA) was constructed. Under the optimal conditions, the enhanced ECL intensity was linearly correlated to the concentration of BSA over the range of 5.0×10-8-1×10-4 g·mL-1 (R=0.9996) with a detection limit of 1.26×10-8 g·mL-1 (n=11). This work not only introduced a substitute for traditional ECL regents, but also proposed a simple ECL system for other analytes.

Sorption experiments of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on hydroxyapatite (HAp) ceramic granules, prepared at three temperatures 900°C, 1000°C and 1150°C were performed at room temperature 18,6 °C and phosphate buffer, pH 5,83; 6.38 and 7,39. Thermal treatment contributed to the decrease of bovine serum albumin immobilization indicating that sorption process depended on HAp ceramics specific surface area and pH values of phosphate buffer solution. However, it was confirmed that granule size was also an important parameter for bovine serum albumin adsorption. As a result of these experiments, the most appropriate adsorption conditions and phosphate buffer pH values influence on to BSA sorption were analyzed.

The formation and growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were investigated in pH 7 buffer solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature. The processes were monitored by UV-Vis, circular dichroism, Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. TEM microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were used to evidence changes in particle size during nanoparticle formation and growth. The formation of AuNPs at pH 7 in the absence of BSA was not observed, which proves that the albumin is involved in the first step of Au(III) reduction. Changes in the EPR spectral features of two spin probes, CAT16 and DIS3, with affinity for BSA and AuNPs, respectively, allowed us to monitor the particle growth and to demonstrate the protective role of BSA for AuNPs. The size of AuNPs formed in BSA solution increases slowly with time, resulting in nanoparticles of different morphologies, as revealed by TEM. Raman spectra of BSA indicate the interaction of albumin with AuNPs through sulfur-containing amino acid residues. This study shows that albumins act as both reducing agents and protective corona of AuNPs.

Abstract In this work, first, copper oxide nanoparticles (CUO NPs) were synthesized by physical methods and then coated with the bovine serum albumin (BSA) via biologically meditated minerals to form CUO@BSA NPs. Finally, curcumin (CUR) as an anticancer drug were immobilized on the surface of CUO@BSA NPS. The properties of CUO@BSA-CUR NPS were investigated by FTIR, UV-Vis, TEM, and AFM spectroscopes. It was found that the synthesized CUO@BSA-CUR nanoparticles were spherical with a particle size of 20 to 30 nm and have a sustained release of CUR at 37°C in buffer solution. Also, the result of release in biological environment showed that maximum drug release rate for this nanocarrier in pH 7.4 was measured 75% after 48 hours. The cytotoxicity of CUO@BSA-CUR on MDA-MB-231 cell line was studied. The results showed that CUO@BSA-CUR nanoparticles have significant cytotoxic activity on this cell line, while the results of MTT assay indicated the CUO@BSA NPs have no toxicity effect on the cancer cells.

Infiltration of bovine serum albumin (BSA) into the blood of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) by hyperosmotic infiltration (HI) was studied by varying the osmotic pressure, immersion time, pH, temperature, stress, vacuum, and fish size. Compared with uptake of BSA from water solutions, about 1400 mosM (4.51%) NaCl was required to increase the plasma level of BSA during a 3-min immersion. Higher osmotic pressures resulted in higher plasma-BSA levels, but the uptake of BSA was limited by the length of time that fish could tolerate the high NaCl concentration. Comparison of immersion time in the solutions of the two-step HI method showed that maximum infiltration occurred after a 2–3-min bath in the 5.32% NaCl solution and only 30 s in the 2% BSA solution. Alkaline solution (pH 9) enhanced BSA uptake in the one-step method, but the two-step method was most effective if the NaCl solution was pH 9 and the BSA solution pH 5. BSA uptake was directly proportional to water temperature from 4 to 20 °C. Preimmersion stress, and injection of 10 μg epinephrine, reduced BSA uptake; vacuum and fish weight (2–8 g) had no effect on uptake of BSA. Hyperosmotic infiltration may be useful for mass delivery of vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and other materials. Key words: hyperosmotic infiltration, bovine serum albumin, osmotic pressure, vaccines, immersion, rocket immunoelectrophoresis

Tribocorrosion, as the interaction between mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosion, has been found to be the main problem causing the failure and limiting the lifetime of metal-on-metal artificial hip joints. Better understanding of the tribocorrosion mechanisms of CoCrMo alloys is needed in order to reduce the degradation of this alloy, especially in the presence of proteins as one of the organic components present in synovial fluid. In this study, tribocorrosion tests of a low carbon CoCrMo alloy in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) with and without bovine serum albumin (BSA) in two different concentrations at different applied potentials (passive and cathodic) were carried out. The results show that the effect of proteins on wear and friction was concentration and potential dependent. In the cathodic domain (absence of very thin passive film), wear was very low in all solutions and the friction was significantly reduced by the addition of BSA to PBS even at low BSA concentrations. However, in the passive domain, the friction and wear were found not to be affected when the BSA concentration was 0.5 g/L, while they were reduced when increasing the BSA concentration to 36 g/L. The tribocorrosion results were rationalized through an existing tribocorrosion model and the effect of BSA on wear and friction was explained by the consideration of physical factors such as changes in viscosity and double layer structure, because in the present results no tribofilm formation was observed.

In this study, we synthesized a spiropyran containing an electron-withdrawing carboxyl group in good yield by condensation of an aromatic aldehyde with enamine indole. The spiropyran absorbed at the ultraviolet region with a maximum at approximately 300 nm, demonstrating slight solvatochromism (~3 nm). A fluorescent emission around 360 nm was observed with a higher solvatochromic effect (~12 nm), indicating higher electronic delocalization in the excited state. The photoreversibility of the open and closed forms of spiropyran excited at 300 nm and 365 nm was not observed, indicating that the absence of the nitro group plays a fundamental role in this equilibrium. Theoretical calculations were also applied for better understanding the photophysics of these compounds. Electrochemical characterization revealed the values of the HOMO and LUMO energy levels at −1.89 eV (electron affinity) and −5.61 eV (ionization potential), respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis showed excellent thermal stability of the spiropyran, with 5% weight loss at approximately 250 °C. Finally, the photophysical features were used to explore the interaction of spiropyran with bovine serum albumin in a phosphate buffer solution, where a significant suppression mechanism was observed.
