Abstract
Micellar drug delivery systems (MDDS) for the intravenous administration of poorly soluble drugs have great advantages over alternative formulations in terms of the safety of their excipients, storage stability, and straightforward production. A classic example is mixed micelles of glycocholate (GC) and lecithin, both endogenous substances in human blood. What limits the use of MDDS is the complexity of the transitions after injection. In particular, as the MDDS disintegrate partially or completely after injection, the drug has to be transferred safely to endogenous carriers in the blood, such as human serum albumin (HSA). If this transfer is compromised, the drug might precipitate─a process that needs to be excluded under all circumstances. The key question of this paper is whether the high local concentration of GC at the moment and site of MDDS dissolution might transiently saturate HSA binding sites and, hence, endanger quick drug transfer. To address this question, we have used a new approach, which is time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy of the single tryptophan in HSA, Trp-214, to characterize the competitive binding of GC and the drug substitute anilinonaphthalenesulfonate (ANS) to HSA. Time-resolved fluorescence of Trp-214 showed important advantages over established methods for tackling this problem. ANS has been the standard "model drug" to study albumin binding for decades, given its structural similarity to the class of naphthalene-containing acidic drugs and the fact that it is displaced from HSA by numerous drugs (which presumably bind to the same sites). Our complex global fit uses the critical approximation that the average lifetimes behave similarly to a single lifetime, but the resulting errors are found to be moderate and the results provide a convincing explanation of the, at first glance, counterintuitive behavior. Accordingly, and largely in line with the literature, we observed two types of sites binding ANS at HSA: 3 type A, rather peripheral, and 2 type B, likely more central sites. The latter quench Trp-214 by Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) with a rate constant of ≈0.4 ns-1 per ANS. Adding millimolar concentrations of GC displaces ANS from the A sites but not from B sites. At incomplete ANS saturation, this causes a GC-induced translocation of ANS from A to the more FRET-active B sites. This leads to the apparent paradox that the partial displacement of ANS from HSA increases its quenching effect on Trp-214. The most important conclusion is that (ANS-like) drugs cannot be displaced from the type-B sites, and consequently, drug transfer to these sites is not impaired by competitive binding of GC in the vicinity of a dissolving micelle. The second conclusion is that for unbound GC above the CMC (9 mM), ANS equilibrates between HSA and GC micelles but with a strong preference for free sites on HSA. That means that even persisting micelles would lose their cargo readily once exposed to HSA. For all MDDS sharing this property, targeted drug delivery approaches involving them as the nanocarrier would be pointless.

Abstract
Proteins, cells and bacteria adhering to the surface of medical devices can lead to thrombosis and infection, resulting in significant clinical mortality. Here, we report a zwitterionic polymers-armored amyloid-like protein surface engineering strategy we called as "armored-tank" strategy for dual functionalization of medical devices. The "armored-tank" strategy is realized by decoration of partially conformational transformed LZM (PCTL) assembly through oxidant-mediated process, followed by armoring with super-hydrophilic poly-2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (pMPC). The outer armor of the "armored-tank" shows potent and durable zone defense against fibrinogen, platelet and bacteria adhesion, leading to long-term antithrombogenic properties over 14 days in vivo without anticoagulation. Additionally, the "fired" PCTL from "armored-tank" actively and effectively kills both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial over 30 days as a supplement to the lacking bactericidal functions of passive outer armor. Overall, this "armored-tank" surface engineering strategy serves as a promising solution for preventing biofouling and thrombotic occlusion of medical devices.

Abstract
Plasma protein binding reduces potency of staurosporine-derived tyrosine kinase inhibitors against Flt3-mutant AML. “Decoy” drugs interfering with the binding, including mifepristone, can be harnessed to restore the antileukemia activity. FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) is the most frequently mutated gene in acute myeloid leukemia and a target for tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). FLT3 TKIs have yielded limited improvements to clinical outcomes. One reason for this is TKI inhibition by endogenous factors. We characterized plasma protein binding of FLT3 TKI, specifically staurosporine derivatives (STS-TKI) by alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), simulating its effects upon drug efficacy. Human AGP inhibits the antiproliferative activity of STS-TKI in FLT3/ITD-dependent cells, with IC50 shifts higher than clinically achievable. This is not seen with nonhuman plasma. Mifepristone cotreatment, with its higher AGP affinity, improves TKI activity despite AGP, yielding IC50s predicted to be clinically effective. In a mouse model of AGP drug inhibition, mifepristone restores midostaurin activity. This suggests combinatorial methods for overcoming plasma protein inhibition of existing TKIs for leukemia as well as providing a platform for investigating the drug–protein interaction space for developing more potent small-molecule agents.

Abstract
Rad51 is a key protein in DNA repair by homologous recombination and an important target for development of drugs in cancer therapy. 4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) has been used in clinic during the past 30 years as an inhibitor of anion transporters and channels. Recently DIDS has been demonstrated to affect Rad51-mediated homologous pairing and strand exchange, key processes in homologous recombination. Consequently, DIDS has been considered as a potential revertant of radio- and chemo-resistance of cancer cells, the major causes of therapy failure. Here, we have investigated the behavior of DIDS towards serum albumins. The effects of environmental factors, primarily, solvent polarity, on DIDS stability were evaluated, and the mechanisms of interaction of DIDS with human or bovine serum albumin were analyzed using isothermal calorimetry, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopies. DIDS interaction with both serum albumins have been demonstrated, and the interaction characteristics have been determined. By comparing these characteristics for several DIDS derivatives, we have identified the DIDS moiety essential for the interaction. Furthermore, site competition data indicate that human albumin has two DIDS-binding sites: a high-affinity site in the IIIA subdomain and a low-affinity one in the IB subdomain. Molecular docking has revealed the key molecular moieties of DIDS responsible for its interactions in each site and shown that the IB site can bind two ligands. These findings show that binding of DIDS to serum albumin may change the balance between the free and bound DIDS forms, thereby affecting its bioavailability and efficacy against Rad51.

Abstract
The exposed hydrophobic patches of protein are widely detected through the binding by the fluorescent probes such as 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate (ANS), Nile Red (NR) and 1-(N-phenylamino) naphthalene, N-(1-Naphthyl) aniline (1NPN). Interestingly, at pH4, where the Toxoplasma gondii Ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase (TgFNR) is stable, an exclusive binding and fluorescence emission was observed for ANS. To understand the underlying difference in the binding of ANS, NR and 1NPN; their effect on the protein structure was studied in detail. ANS was found to interact with TgFNR via electrostatic as well as hydrophobic interactions at pH4. NR and 1NPN did not show any such binding to TgFNR in the similar conditions, however showed strong hydrophobic interaction in the presence of NaCl or DSS (2, 2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate). The subsequent structural studies suggest that ANS, NaCl and DSS induced partial unfolding of TgFNR by modulating ionic interactions of the enzyme, leading to the exposure of buried hydrophobic patches amicable for the binding by NR and 1NPN. The induced unfolding of TgFNR by ANS is unique and thus cautions to use the fluorescent dye as simple indicator to probe the exposed hydrophobic patches of the protein or its folding intermediates.

Abstract
Ivacaftor is a novel cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) potentiator that improves the pulmonary function for patients with CF bearing a G551D CFTR-protein mutation. Because ivacaftor is highly bound (>97%) to plasma proteins, there is the strong possibility that co-administered CF drugs may compete for the same plasma protein binding sites and impact the free drug concentration. This, in turn, could lead to drastic changes in the in vivo efficacy of ivacaftor and therapeutic outcomes. This biochemical study compares the binding affinity of ivacaftor and co-administered CF drugs for human serum albumin (HSA) and α1 -acid glycoprotein (AGP) using surface plasmon resonance and fluorimetric binding assays that measure the displacement of site-selective probes. Because of their ability to strongly compete for the ivacaftor binding sites on HSA and AGP, drug-drug interactions between ivacaftor are to be expected with ducosate, montelukast, ibuprofen, dicloxacillin, omeprazole, and loratadine. The significance of these plasma protein drug-drug interactions is also interpreted in terms of molecular docking simulations. This in vitro study provides valuable insights into the plasma protein drug-drug interactions of ivacaftor with co-administered CF drugs. The data may prove useful in future clinical trials for a staggered treatment that aims to maximize the effective free drug concentration and clinical efficacy of ivacaftor.

Abstract
Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) occurs when the distance between a donor fluorophore and an acceptor is within 10 nm, and its application often necessitates fluorescent labeling of biological targets. However, covalent modification of biomolecules can inadvertently give rise to conformational and/or functional changes. This review describes the application of intrinsic protein fluorescence, predominantly derived from tryptophan (λ EX ≈ 280 nm, λ EM ≈ 350 nm), in protein-related research and mainly focuses on label-free FRET techniques. In terms of wavelength and intensity, tryptophan fluorescence is strongly influenced by its (or the proteinlocal environment, which, in addition to fluorescence quenching, has been applied to study protein conformational changes. Intrinsic Förster resonance energy transfer (iFRET), a recently developed technique, utilizes the intrinsic fluorescence of tryptophan in conjunction with target-specific fluorescent probes as FRET donors and acceptors, respectively, for real time detection of native proteins.

Abstract
Here, for the first time, we have characterized binding properties of the polymyxin class of antibiotics for human α-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) using a combination of biophysical techniques. The binding affinity of colistin, polymyxin B, polymyxin B(3), colistin methansulfonate, and colistin nona-peptide was determined by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), surface plasma resonance (SPR) and fluorometric assay methods. All assay techniques indicated colistin, polymyxin B and polymyxin B(3) display a moderate binding affinity for AGP. ITC and SPR showed there was no detectable binding affinity for colistin methansulfonate and colistin nona-peptide, suggesting both the positive charges of the diaminobutyric acid (Dab) side chains and the N-terminal fatty acyl chain of the polymyxin molecule are required to drive binding to AGP. In addition, the ITC and fluorometric data suggested that endogenous lipidic substances bound to AGP provide part of the polymyxin binding surface. A molecular model of the polymyxin B(3)-AGP F1*S complex was presented that illustrates the pivotal role of the N-terminal fatty acyl chain and the D-Phe6-L-Leu7 hydrophobic motif of polymyxin B(3) for binding to the cleft-like ligand binding cavity of AGP F1*S variant. The model conforms with the entropy driven binding interaction characterized by ITC which suggests hydrophobic interactions coupled to desolvation events and conformational changes are the primary driving force for polymyxins binding to AGP. Collectively, the data are consistent with a role of this acute-phase reactant protein in the transport of polymyxins in plasma.

Abstract
Abstract
The competitive binding of diflunisal and three well-known uraemic toxins (3-indoxyl sulfate, indole-3-acetic acid and hippuric acid) to bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and human plasma was studied by direct potentiometry. The method used the potentiometric drug ion-probe technique with a home-made ion sensor (electrode) selective to the drug anion. The site-oriented Scatchard model was used to describe the binding of diflunisal to BSA, HSA and human plasma, while the general competitive binding model was used to calculate the binding parameters of the three uraemic toxins to BSA. Diflunisal binding parameters, number of binding sites, ni and association constants for each class of binding site, Ki, were calculated in the absence and presence of uraemic toxins. Although diflunisal exhibits high binding affinity for site I of HSA and the three uraemic toxins bind primarily to site II, strong interaction was observed between the drug and the three toxins, which were found to affect the binding of diflunisal on its primary class of binding sites on both BSA and HSA molecules and on human plasma. These results are strong evidence that the decreased binding of diflunisal that occurs in uraemic plasma may not be solely attributed to the lower albumin concentration observed in many patients with renal failure. The uraemic toxins that accumulate in uraemic plasma may displace the drug from its specific binding sites on plasma proteins, resulting in increased free drug plasma concentration in uraemic patients.

Abstract
Two fluorescence modes were combined to analyze the binding properties of terminally substituted alkanes (C(n)X, X = COOH, OH, CHO, NH(2)) to human serum albumin (HSA). A competitive binding assay using an 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) fluorescence probe provides information on all the hydrophobic binding sites in HSA. A binding assay using the intrinsic fluorescence of the tryptophan residue in HSA (Trp-HSA) provides information on the specific binding site close to the tryptophan residue. There are three fluorescence-active ANS binding sites in HSA, which can be classified into two types by their affinity for ANS. C(n)COOH bound to all three ANS binding sites including the Trp-HSA site, however, it did not quench the fluorescence of Trp-HSA. C(n)CHO bound only to the Trp-HSA site with quenching of the fluorescence of Trp-HSA. By comparing the binding affinities of HSA for C(n)OH and C(n)CHO, it was concluded that the C(n)OH binding site is different from the C(n)CHO binding site. C(n)NH(2) did not bind to any of the three ANS binding sites in HSA.

Abstract
ANS is widely used as a probe for locating binding sites of proteins and studying structural changes under various external conditions. However, the nature of ANS-binding sites in proteins and the accompanying changes in fluorescence properties are controversial. We examined the steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence of the ANS-protein complexes for tear lipocalin (TL) and its mutants in order to discern the origin of lifetime components via analysis that included the multiexponential decay and the model-free maximum entropy methods. Fluorescence lifetimes of ANS-TL complexes can be grouped into two species, 14.01-17.42 ns and 2.72-4.37 ns. The log-normal analyses of fluorescence spectral shapes reveal the heterogeneous nature of both long- and short-lifetime species. The constructed time-resolved emission, amplitude (TRES) and area normalized (TRANES), and decay-associated spectra are consistent with a model that includes heterogeneous modes of ANS binding with two separate lifetime components. The two lifetime components are not derived from solvent relaxation, but rather may represent different binding modes.

Evidence for internal and external binding sites on human tear lipocalin. Arch Biochem Biophys 2007; 468:15-21.

Abstract
8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (ANS) is widely used as a probe for locating binding sites of proteins. To characterize the binding sites of tear lipocalin (TL), we studied ANS binding to apoTL by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence. Deconvolution of ANS binding revealed that two lifetime components, 16.99ns and 2.76ns at pH 7.3, have dissociation constants of 0.58muM and 5.7muM, respectively. At pH 3.0, the lifetime components show decreased affinities with dissociation constants of 2.42muM and approximately 21muM, respectively. Selective displacement of ANS molecules from the ANS-apoTL complex by stearic acid discriminates the internal and external binding sites. Dependence of the binding affinity on ionic strength under various conditions provides strong evidence that an electrostatic interaction is involved. Time-resolved fluorescence is a promising tool to segregate multiple binding sites of proteins.

Abstract
At least ten different lipocalins occur in the human body: retinol-binding protein (RBP), alpha1-acid glycoprotein, alpha1-microglobulin, apolipoprotein D, beta-trace protein, complement component 8gamma, glycodelin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, odorant-binding protein, and tear lipocalin. Although many of these lipocalins seem to play an important physiological role, their precise biological function is not always clear. Especially the interpretation of their diverse ligand-binding activities has been hampered by the fact that the natural lipocalins were prepared from different sources and with varying purity. Here we present a generic expression and purification strategy for the recombinant lipocalins, which is based on secretion into the periplasm of E. coli, where disulphide bonds are readily formed, followed by affinity purification via the Strep-tag II and gel filtration. The ten human lipocalins were successfully prepared and their ligand-binding activities were compared via fluorescence titration with a set of typical ligands: retinol, retinoic acid (RA), 11-(5-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthalene-sulfonylamino)undecanoic acid (DAUDA), and 8-anilino-1-naphtalene-sulfonic acid (ANS). As result, merely two lipocalins, RBP and beta-trace, revealed high affinities both for retinol and for RA, which probably reflects a specialized physiological function in retinoid complexation. Surprisingly, the strongest retinol affinity was detected for apolipoprotein D, whereas this lipocalin exhibits much weaker binding activity for retinoic acid. Binding studies with the two spectroscopic probes DAUDA and ANS revealed mixed patterns, which demonstrates that the affinity for lipophilic substances varies considerably among human lipocalins. Notably, RBP with its perfectly moulded retinol-binding site did not show any detectable binding activity for both compounds. Hence, our recombinant expression and purification system should be useful for further structural and functional studies of lipocalins from human origin and beyond.

Abstract
A competitive low-affinity binding model was proposed for determining the number of mutual (overlapped) and specific binding sites of two ligands (A, B) on a protein (P). To use the model, one needs to carry out a titration experiment by adding either ligand A or B into a three-component system (A-B-P), and to monitor the spectroscopic parameter changes. Fitting the titration curve to the proposed model, one can get the mutual and specific binding sites of the two ligands on the protein. The model was examined by using human serum albumin (HSA) as a receptor and tolmetin (TOL) and salicylic acid (SAL) as ligands. Proton longitudinal relaxation rates (R1) were measured on a 500-MHz NMR spectrometer during the titration and used to derive the mutual binding sites. It was found that among the binding sites of 32+/-4 for SAL and 28+/-2 for TOL on HSA, there were 17+/-5 mutual sites for the two ligands. This result indicates that, although HSA has large binding capacities for most ligands, there are still a reasonable amount of the low-affinity binding sites that are structure selective.

Abstract
Alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP) consists of 183 amino acid residues and 5 carbohydrate chains and binds to basic and neutral drugs as well as steroid hormones. We investigated the structural properties and ligand-binding capacity of AGP under mild acidic conditions and its interactions with liposomes prepared from neutral or anionic lipids and the neutral drug, progesterone. Interestingly, AGP had a unique structure at pH 4.5, at which the tertiary structure changed, whereas the secondary structure remained intact. Furthermore, the binding capacity of AGP for progesterone did not significantly change under these conditions. It was also observed that AGP was strongly bound to the anionic membrane at pH 4.5, forming an alpha-helix-rich structure from the original beta-sheet-rich structure, which significantly decreased the binding capacity of AGP for progesterone. The structural transitions as well as the membrane binding were suppressed by adding NaCl. These results indicate that AGP has a unique structure on the membrane surface under mild acidic conditions. The conformational change induces binding to the membrane aided by electrostatic interaction, and AGP subsequently takes on a predominantly alpha-helical conformation.

Abstract
For about half a century, the binding of drugs to plasma albumin, the "silent receptor," has been recognized as one of the major determinants of drug action, distribution, and disposition. In the last decade, the binding of drugs, especially but not exclusively basic entities, to another plasma protein, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AAG), has increasingly become important in this regard. The present review points out that hundreds of drugs with diverse structures bind to this glycoprotein. Although plasma concentration of AAG is much lower than that of albumin, AAG can become the major drug binding macromolecule in plasma with significant clinical implications. Also, briefly reviewed are the physiological, pathological, and genetic factors that influence binding, the role of AAG in drug-drug interactions, especially the displacement of drugs and endogenous substances from AAG binding sites, and pharmacokinetic and clinical consequences of such interactions. It can be predicted that in the future, rapid automatic methods to measure binding to albumin and/or AAG will routinely be used in drug development and in clinical practice to predict and/or guide therapy.

Abstract
A displacement approach for competitive binding studies was developed. The method utilizes the potentiometric 1-anilino-8-naphthalene-sulfonate (ANS) probe technique and is applied to the binding study of several non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSADs) to bovine serum albumin (BSA). A home-made ANS electrode was used to monitor the displaced free ANS probe from its binding sites on the protein molecule by the stepwise addition of the studied drug. To assess and compare quantitatively the displacing ability of the various drugs, the 'ANS Displacement Index' is used. The possible interference of 19 ionizable drugs (NSADs, sulfonamides, etc.) to the ANS selective electrode at pH 7.4 was studied and their potentiometric selectivity coefficients (K(pot)(ANS,D)) were determined. Correction procedures for the determination of the free ANS concentration are proposed in the case of interfering ionic drugs. A blank binding experiment in conjunction with the incorporation of K(pot)(ANS,D) values in the 'general competitive site oriented model' allows one to derive estimates for the drug binding parameters, i.e. the number of binding sites and association constants.

Abstract
An automated flow injection (FI) gradient technique is described for the binding study of the potentiometric probe 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) to bovine serum albumin (BSA). Using a single-channel FI system with a mixing chamber and a flow ANS electrode, the binding parameters (binding constant and number of binding sites) were calculated using the Scatchard model. The concentration gradient was calibrated by injecting ANS in the stream, and the binding experiment was performed by injecting ANS-BSA solution in the carrier solution of equal albumin concentration. The equations describing the concentration gradient and the corresponding electrode potential curve are presented. A systematic study of the factors affecting the complexation equilibrium and the electrode response was performed. For the ANS binding to BSA, two binding classes were determined with binding constants of (2.1 +/- 0.3) x 10(5) and (3.3 +/- 0.8) x 10(3) M-1 and 3.8 +/- 0.6 and 10 +/- 2 binding sites per class, respectively, at 27 +/- 1 degrees C, in 0.10 M phosphate pH 7.4. Competitive binding experiments of sulfamethoxazole, salicylate, azapropazone, ketoprofen, and tolmetin to albumin were also performed by monitoring ANS binding inhibition (decrease of apparent binding constant). This technique takes advantage of FI gradients and direct potentiometry and utilizes the total information contained in FI peaks, providing fast and accurate binding information in a wide range of concentration ratios.

Abstract
Protein binding kinetics of basic antimicrobials including trimethoprim (TMP), erythromycin (EM), lincomycin (LM) and clindamycin (CM) were studied using porcine plasma, albumin and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP). Rosenthal plots of these basic drugs in porcine plasma suggest saturable and non-saturable binding. Dissociation constants (kd) and binding capacity (Bmax) for saturable binding were as follows: TMP, kd = 8.58 mumol/L, Bmax = 5.26 mumol/L; EM, kd = 2.72 mumol/L, Bmax = 3.06 mumol/L, LM, kd = 3.96 mumol/L, Bmax = 6.58 mumol/L and CM, kd = 4.43 mumol/L, Bmax = 21.7 mumol/L. The proportionality constants (Bmax2/kd2) for non-saturable binding were 0.29 in TMP, 0.52 in EM, 0.17 in LM and 3.2 in CM. The kds of the drugs in porcine AGP solution were determined by a fluorescence quenching method, using 1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulphonate (ANS) as a fluorescent probe: 9.51 mumol/L in TMP, 1.89 mumol/L in EM, 4.48 mumol/L in LM and 9.69 mumol/L, in CM. Comparable kd values between porcine plasma and AGP solution indicated that AGP is a major saturable binder in porcine plasma. Binding property to porcine albumin presented linearity, showing the following proportionality constants: 0.23 in TMP, 0.38 in EM, 0.01 in LM and 0.76 in CM. The comparable proportionality constants of TMP and EM between porcine plasma and albumin solution indicate that albumin is a major non-saturable binder, whereas proportionality constants of LM and CM in albumin solution compared to those in porcine plasma were low, implying another non-saturable binder, i.e. lipoprotein. Simulation curve of drug-binding percentage vs. AGP concentrations showed that in pigs under a pathologic state, or during early growth stage with high AGP levels, AGP could be a main contributor to drug-plasma protein binding for all drugs examined. The increase of AGP from normal to pathological concentrations induced a decrease in the unbound fraction: LM > CM > EM > TMP in order of AGP contribution to drug binding. Therefore, the disposition and efficacy of basic antimicrobials which bind to AGP with high affinity could be markedly influenced by altered AGP levels, implying AGP contribution to pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.

Abstract
The binding of the apolar fluorescent dye 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS) to Naja naja atra phospholipase A2 (PLA2) as well as the enhancement of ANS fluorescence of the PLA2-ANS complex decreased with increasing pH in a pH range from 3 to 9. These pH-dependent curves can be well interpreted as the perturbation of an ionizable group with pK value of 5.8, which was assigned as His-47 in the active site of PLA2. The ionizable group with pK 5.8 was no longer observed after methylation of His-47, supporting the idea that the pH dependence of ANS binding arose from an electrostatic interaction between His-47 and the bound ANS. Removal of the N-terminal octapeptide of PLA2 caused a precipitous drop in the capability of PLA2 for binding with ANS and enhancing ANS fluorescence, reflecting that the integrity of the N-terminal region was essential for maintaining the hydrophobic character of the ANS-binding site. However, the nonpolarity of the ANS-binding site in the N-terminus-removed derivative was still partially retained at low pH, but was completely lost at high pH. Evidently, the N-terminal region plays a more crucial role in ANS binding at high pH than at low pH. These results indicate that hydrophobic interaction as well as electrostatic interaction are involved in the binding of ANS to PLA2, and that the relative contributions of both interactions in ANS fluorescence enhancement may be different under different pH.

Abstract
The binding of naproxen, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone, salicylic acid, azapropazone, and indobufen to bovine serum albumin was studied by applying the potentiometric ion probe technique. An ion-selective electrode for the ion probe 1-anilino-8-naphthalene-sulfonate was utilized for the purposes of this study. A modified site-oriented competitive binding model was used for the estimation of the drugs' binding parameters, considering different number of binding sites on the competing binding class(es) for the probe and the drug. Calculations were based exclusively on the concentration data of the free probe. The model's ability for accurate estimations of binding parameters was evaluated by simulation studies. The following values of binding parameters were found at 25 degrees C for the drugs under study; naproxen, n1 = 9.1, k1 = 9.4 x 10(5) M-1; ketoprofen, n1 = 8.8, k1 = 10.8 x 10(5) M-1; phenylbutazone, n1 = 3.2, k1 = 1.4 x 10(5) M-1; salicylic acid, n1 = 2.6, k1 = 1.8 x 10(5) M-1, n2 = 21.5, k2 = 1.0 x 10(4) M-1; azapropazone, n1 = 0.5, k1 = 7.8 x 10(5) M-1, n2 = 26.3, k2 = 1.9 x 10(4) M-1; indobufen, n1 = 5.8, k1 = 5.8 x 10(5) M-1, n2 = 19.9, k2 = 3.8 x 10(5) M-1, where ni the number of binding sites of the i class and ki the corresponding association constant.

Abstract
The binding of sulphafurazole, sulphamethizole and sulphamethoxazole to bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human plasma has been studied in-vitro by potentiometry using an electrode selective for the ion probe 1-anilino-8-napthalenesulphonate (ANS). The method requires two separate potentiometric titrations of the binder solution with ANS in the absence and in the presence of sulphonamides. ANS displaced sulphonamides from the first-class of binding sites of both binders. The binding constants for sulphonamide-BSA interactions were higher than those for sulphonamide-human plasma. The expansion of the least linear limit of the response curve of the electrode down to 10(-7) M in the presence of BSA was also demonstrated. The reverse reaction, i.e. the displacement of the probe from the binding sites induced by the sulphonamides, was also explored. The proposed method is suitable for studying competitive binding interactions in biological specimens.

Abstract
The present study shows that ANS (1-anilino-8-naphthalene sulfonate), propranolol, isoprenaline, adrenaline and dopamine have common binding sites on AAG (alpha 1-acid glycoprotein). A fluorescence technique was employed to characterize the interaction between the ligands and AAG at 20-22 degrees. The binding of ANS to AAG caused increased fluorescence intensity at emission and excitation wavelengths of 400 and 470 nm. In this situation, propranolol displaced ANS in a concentration-dependent mode with an apparent dissociation constant of 6.2 +/- 0.01 microM, whereas isoprenaline did not reduce the ANS-AAG fluorescence. However, in the presence of AAG, catecholamines caused a marked increase of fluorescence at excitation and emission wavelengths of 250 and 325 nm, respectively. These wavelengths were employed to characterize the binding of isoprenaline, adrenaline and propranolol to AAG. Two subsets of binding sites were demonstrated. The Kd values were 0.87 +/- 0.03 and 25.1 +/- 10.7 microM for ANS, 0.76 +/- 0.09 and 133 +/- 30.4 microM for propranolol, 140 +/- 14 and 2.18 +/- 0.58 mM for isoprenaline, 137 +/- 24 and 14.8 +/- 0.1 mM for adrenaline, respectively. AAG had identical high affinity binding capacity for these ligands (n approximately 1). However, the second class of binding sites showed ligand-dependent binding capacity: n = 1 for ANS, n approximately 10 for propranolol, n approximately 15 for adrenaline, n approximately 20 for isoprenaline, respectively. ANS, propranolol, dopamine and adrenaline caused concentration-dependent inhibition of isoprenaline binding to AAG with apparent dissociation constants of 5.1 +/- 1.8 microM, 6.4 +/- 1.1 microM, 0.57 +/- 0.13 mM and 1.5 +/- 0.46 mM, respectively.

Abstract
The binding of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been investigated between pH 6 and 8, in 0.05 M phosphate buffer at 20 degrees C, by fluorescence titrations and the results analyzed according to a procedure previously reported (R. Favilla and A. Mazzini, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 788 (1984) 48). The dye binds to the protein with a blue shift of about 4 nm in its fluorescence emission maximum, but with an enhancement factor of 10 of its fluorescence quantum yield. The dissociation constant decreases from 100 microM to 54 microM as the pH is increased from 6 to 8, with a constant number of nearly three equivalent binding sites. The complete displacement of DAPI bound to BSA by Ca2+ suggests a possible specificity of this substantially electrostatic interaction. The fluorescence decay of DAPI bound to the protein shows a double exponential kinetics, with a tau 1 = 0.97 ns and tau 2 = 2.78 ns. These results, compared with those obtained for DAPI alone, tau 1 = 0.16 ns and tau 2 = 2.8 ns, are rationalized in terms of two different rotamers of DAPI. Both rotamers are able to bind to the protein, but only one of them undergoes an intramolecular proton transfer, from the 6-amidinium group to the indole aromatic ring, in the excited singlet state of DAPI alone. When DAPI interacts with BSA this transfer does not occur and consequently a large increase of fluorescence is observed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The binding of 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) to bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA), and human plasma has been studied by potentiometric titration utilizing a laboratory constructed ion selective electrode (ISE) of ANS. Three classes of ANS binding sites were found on BSA, HSA, and plasma at 25 and 37 degrees C. Computer analysis of the data resulted in estimates for the association constants, number of binding sites (HSA, BSA), and binding capacity of each class. The association constants for the first class of binding sites at 25 degrees C were found to be 7.53 (+/- 0.59) x 10(5), 2.70 (+/- 0.20) x 10(5), and 2.64 (+/- 0.26) x 10(5) M-1 for BSA, HSA, and plasma, respectively. Lower values for the association constants of all binding classes were estimated at the higher temperature (37 degrees C). The binding capacity for ANS decreased in the order BSA, plasma, HSA.
