It was employed to investigate the binding in- teraction with the bovine serum albumin （BSA） in detail using different spectroscopic methods. It ex- hibited antibacterial activity against Escherichia cali and Staphylococcus aureus which are common food poisoning bacteria. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence quenching of model carrier protein BSA by AHDMAPPC was due to static quenching. The site binding constants and number of binding sites （n ≈ 1） were determined at three different temperatures based on fluorescence quenching results. The thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change （AH）, free energy （AG） and entropy change （AS） for the reaction were calculated to be 15.15 kJ/mol, -36.11 kJ/mol and 51.26J/mol K according to van＇t Hoff equation, respectively. The results indicated that the reaction was an endothermic and spontaneous process, and hydrophobic interactions played a major role in the binding between drug and BSA. The distance between donor and acceptor is 2.79 nm according to Forster＇s theory. The alterations of the BSA secondary structure in the presence of AHDMAPPC were confirmed by UV-visible, synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism （CD） and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra. All these results in- dicated that AHDMAPPC can bind to BSA and be effectively transported and eliminated in the body. It can be a useful guideline for further drug design.展开更多

By analyzing surface pressure-mean molecular area （π-A） isotherms, the limiting molecular area in the closed packing state-the concentration of BSA （Alim-[BSA]） curves, the compressibility coefficient-surface pressure （CS-1-π） curves and the difference value of mean molecular area-the concentration of BSA （ΔA-[BSA]） curves, we obtained that the mean molecular area of DPPG monolayer became much larger when the concentration of BSA in the subphase increased at pH=3 and 5. But the isotherms had no significant change at different amount of BSA at pH=10. In addition, the amount of BSA molecules adsorbed onto the lipid monolayer reached a threshold value when [BSA]〉5×10-8 mol/L for all pHs. From the surface pressure-time （π-t） data, we obtained that desorption and adsorption processes occurred at pH=3, however, there was only desorption process occurring at pH=5 and 10. These results showed that the interaction mechanism between DPPG and BSA molecules was affected by the pH of subphase. BSA molecules were adsorbed onto the DPPG monolayers mainly through the hydrophobic interaction at pH=3 and 5, and the strength of hydrophobic interaction at pH=3 was stronger than the case of pH=5. At pH=10, a weaker hydrophobic interaction and a stronger electrostatic repulsion existed between DPPG and BSA molecules. AFM images revealed that the pH of subphase and [BSA] could affect the morphology features of the monolayers, which was consistent with these curves. The study provides an important experimental basis and theoretical support to understand the interaction between lipid and BSA at the air-water interface.展开更多

The morphology and crystal phase of the zinc oxide nanoparticles were determined by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractograms, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited strong absorption and photoluminescence properties in the visible wavelength region based on the fluorescence and UV-visible spectroscopy. Based on the results, the zinc oxide nanoparticles could effectively degrade the organic dyes through the mediation of the hydroxyl radical under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the zinc oxide nanoparticles show good recycling stability during the photocatalytic experiments. These results suggested that the as-prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles might be used as a potential photocatalyst to efficiently treat the organic pollutants.展开更多

The TGA/Cd/Te molar ratios, reaction time, temperature and p H are the crucial factors for properties of QDs. The QDs were characterized by UVvis absorption and fluorescence spectra, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental results show that when the p H value is 11.5 and molar ratio of TGA：Cd：Te is 1.2：1：0.4 at 100 ℃ heating for 15 min, the resulted QDs exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield of 78%. The fluorescence full width at half maximum（FHMW） of QDs is around 23 nm. The products are spherical with average size of 3-5 nm. There is a strong coordination effect between TGA and Cd2＋. Moreover, the results of interaction between as-made QDs and bovine serum albumin（BSA） suggest that the QDs-BSA binding reaction is a static quenching. The negative values of free energy（△G〈0） suggest that the binding process is spontaneous, △H〈0 and △S〈0 show that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play a major role in the binding reaction between QDs and BSA.展开更多

文摘The interaction between bovine serum albumin （BSA） and the anionic 1.2-dipalmitoyl-snglycero- 3-（phospho-rac-（1-glycerol）） （sodium salt） （DPPG） phospholipid at different subphase pH values was investigated at air-water interface through surface pressure measurements and atomic force microscopy （AFM） observation. By analyzing surface pressure-mean molecular area （π-A） isotherms, the limiting molecular area in the closed packing state-the concentration of BSA （Alim-[BSA]） curves, the compressibility coefficient-surface pressure （CS-1-π） curves and the difference value of mean molecular area-the concentration of BSA （ΔA-[BSA]） curves, we obtained that the mean molecular area of DPPG monolayer became much larger when the concentration of BSA in the subphase increased at pH=3 and 5. But the isotherms had no significant change at different amount of BSA at pH=10. In addition, the amount of BSA molecules adsorbed onto the lipid monolayer reached a threshold value when [BSA]〉5×10-8 mol/L for all pHs. From the surface pressure-time （π-t） data, we obtained that desorption and adsorption processes occurred at pH=3, however, there was only desorption process occurring at pH=5 and 10. These results showed that the interaction mechanism between DPPG and BSA molecules was affected by the pH of subphase. BSA molecules were adsorbed onto the DPPG monolayers mainly through the hydrophobic interaction at pH=3 and 5, and the strength of hydrophobic interaction at pH=3 was stronger than the case of pH=5. At pH=10, a weaker hydrophobic interaction and a stronger electrostatic repulsion existed between DPPG and BSA molecules. AFM images revealed that the pH of subphase and [BSA] could affect the morphology features of the monolayers, which was consistent with these curves. The study provides an important experimental basis and theoretical support to understand the interaction between lipid and BSA at the air-water interface.

The synthesized ZnO nanoparticles exhibited strong absorption and photoluminescence properties in the visible wavelength region based on the fluorescence and UV-visible spectroscopy. Based on the results, the zinc oxide nanoparticles could effectively degrade the organic dyes through the mediation of the hydroxyl radical under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the zinc oxide nanoparticles show good recycling stability during the photocatalytic experiments. These results suggested that the as-prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles might be used as a potential photocatalyst to efficiently treat the organic pollutants.

文摘The thioglycollic acid（TGA） as a capping agent, CdTe/TGA quantum dots（QDs） with excellent properties were synthesized under microwave irradiation. The TGA/Cd/Te molar ratios, reaction time, temperature and p H are the crucial factors for properties of QDs. The QDs were characterized by UVvis absorption and fluorescence spectra, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The experimental results show that when the p H value is 11.5 and molar ratio of TGA：Cd：Te is 1.2：1：0.4 at 100 ℃ heating for 15 min, the resulted QDs exhibit a high fluorescence quantum yield of 78%. The fluorescence full width at half maximum（FHMW） of QDs is around 23 nm. The products are spherical with average size of 3-5 nm. There is a strong coordination effect between TGA and Cd2＋. Moreover, the results of interaction between as-made QDs and bovine serum albumin（BSA） suggest that the QDs-BSA binding reaction is a static quenching. The negative values of free energy（△G〈0） suggest that the binding process is spontaneous, △H〈0 and △S〈0 show that hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions play a major role in the binding reaction between QDs and BSA.
文摘Eleven chelating agents were studied for their capabilities to mobilize the cadmium bound tp bovine serum albumin(BSA).The parameter F,which is defined as the ratio between the percentages of cadmium bound to BSA in the presence and absence of chelating agents,can be used as the criterion to evaluate the mobilizing capability of chelating agent.The F values determined experimentally lead to a mobilizing capability order:DTPA>EDTA>EGTA>NTA>TR1EN>PEN>CYS>HIS>SAThe polyaminopolycarboxylate type chelators mobilize cadmium effectively.A linear relationship was found between 1gF and lg k'CdL (conditional stability constant of the cadmium chelate).
文摘The interaction between clarithromycin (CAM) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using linear-sweep voltammetry in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer solution where CAM caused two irreversible reduction waves P2 and P3 on mercury electrode. The study showed that the formation constant and formation ratio for the interaction between CAM and BSA were 1.51 × 10(12) and 3:1 for P2, 4.53 × 10(5) and 1:1 for P3, respectively. The ion strength enhanced the hydrophobic interaction between CAM and BSA.
文摘The interaction of CdSe quantum dots （QDs） with bovine serum albumin （BSA） has been investigated with ultraviolet visible absorption spectroscopy （UVAS）. It was found that the absorption intensity of CdSe QDs significantly decreased after adding BSA solution, showing that CdSe QDs were bonded to BSA. The binding molar ratio was 1：1 and the binding constant was 9.7 × 10^6 L mol^-1.
文摘The voltammetric methods were used to prove the interaction of metal complex Co(phen)(3)(3+) with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The interaction of BSA with Co(phen)(3)(3+) molecules using BSA-modified electrode is described. Information of the binding ratio and interaction mode can be obtained from their electrochemical behavior and electrochemical data. Furthermore, attenuated total reflection infrared experiment was performed to prove the interaction between complexes and BSA.
