Abstract
To investigate the binding characteristics of pesticide ethiprole (ETP) with serum albumin is of great significance for pathological analysis of pesticide poisoning, gene mutation, and clinical detection. In present work, the binding characteristics of ETP with a model protein BSA has been estimated by means of multi-spectroscopic approaches integrated with computer simulation. The outcomes testified that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was mainly quenched by ETP in a static quenching mode and the stable ETP-BSA complex with the stoichiometry of 1:1 and the binding constant of 6.81 × 103 M-1 (298 K) was produced. The outcomes revealed that ETP combined preferentially to the subdomain IIA (Site I) of BSA and caused the decline in the content of α-helix of BSA and the enhancement in the hydrophobicity of environment centered on Trp residues. The outcomes of experimental and theoretical studies provide the sufficient evidence about the driving forces for the complexation of ETP with BSA, which included van der Waals forces (vdW), hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) interaction, and hydrophobicity. Simultaneously, the theoretical calculation results also confirmed the existence of the significant changes in the physicochemical natures of ETP including molecular conformation, dipole moment, frontier orbital energy, and the atomic charge distribution, which was a responsible for the complexation with BSA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
There is a demand in rapid and robust methods to determine the affinity of drugs to receptors, enzymes, and transport proteins. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a common method to prove the existence of ligand-protein binding from the shift of denaturation peak, but it is rarely used to obtain the binding constant values. The work is aimed to prove that the DSC experiments can be a source of reliable values of the binding constants and information on the stoichiometry of drug-albumin binding. DSC thermograms of bovine serum albumin denaturation in the presence of several drugs with different affinity and stoichiometry of binding to albumin: naproxen, warfarin, ibuprofen, and isoniazid were recorded. The dependences of the denaturation peak maximum temperature and area on the molar drug/protein ratio, which varied from 0 to 100, were considered. With the help of numerical modeling of the DSC curves, these dependences were predicted using the binding parameters determined in independent experiments and a simple two-state model of denaturation. The DSC data at relatively small concentrations of ligands are in good agreement with the calculation results. The deviations from the model predictions at high ligand concentrations in the cases of naproxen and ibuprofen indicate that albumin is able to bind several additional molecules of these drugs with its low-affinity sites. The fit was improved by using a sequential binding model with two binding constants K1 = 1.0 × 107 and K2 = 1.0 × 104 for naproxen and a cooperative binding model for ibuprofen. The stoichiometry of drug-albumin complexes fully saturated with drug ligand was calculated from the dependence of the denaturation temperature on the drug concentration. In the case of isoniazid, DSC thermograms indicated very weak binding to albumin.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigate the interaction of amino acid osmolytes, Arg, Lys, Asp and Glu, and a denaturant, guanidinium chloride (Gdm) with proteins. To achieve this, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of RNase A and α-lactalbumin was performed in the presence of three charged amino acids Arg, Lys, and Asp and the molecular mechanism of amino acid-induced (de)stabilization of the proteins was examined by combining with our earlier report on Glu. As Arg has the side chain similar to that of Gdm and destabilizes the proteins, MD simulation was carried out in the presence of Gdm as well. Radial distribution function and hydration fraction around the protein surface reveals that preferential hydration increases upon the addition of any of the cosolvent; however, the extent of increase is more in the presence of stabilizing cosolvents (stAAs: Lys, Asp and Glu) compared to destabilizing cosolvents (Arg and Gdm). Moreover, the preferential interaction of Arg and Gdm with the proteins is higher than that of stAAs. Residue-level interaction analysis suggests that stAAs preferably interacts with charged amino acids of the proteins whereas Arg and Gdm interactions could be found on almost all the surface exposed residues which might provide higher preferential interaction for these residues. From the results, we propose that the net outcome of preferential hydration versus preferential interaction of the amino acids might determine their effect on the stability of proteins.

Abstract
The effect of molecular crowding on the structure and function of Escherichia coli prolyl-transfer RNA synthetase (Ec ProRS), a member of the aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetase family, has been investigated using a combined experimental and theoretical method. Ec ProRS is a multidomain enzyme; coupled-domain dynamics are essential for efficient catalysis. To gain insight into the mechanistic detail of the crowding effect, kinetic studies were conducted with varying concentrations and sizes of crowders. In parallel, spectroscopic and quantum chemical studies were employed to probe the "soft interactions" between crowders and protein side chains. Finally, the dynamics of the dimeric protein was examined in the presence of crowders using a long-duration (70 ns) classical molecular dynamic simulations. The results of the simulations revealed a shift in the conformational ensemble, which is consistent with the preferential exclusion of cosolutes. The "soft interactions" model of the crowding effect also explained the alteration in kinetic parameters. In summary, the study found that the effects of molecular crowding on both conformational dynamics and catalytic function are correlated in the multidomain Ec ProRS, an enzyme that is central to protein synthesis in all living cells. This study affirmed that large and small cosolutes have considerable impacts on the structure, dynamics, and function of modular proteins and therefore must be considered for stabilizing protein-based pharmaceuticals and industrial enzymes.

Abstract
Protein pharmaceuticals have become a significant class of marketed drug products and are expected to grow steadily over the next decade. Development of a commercial protein product is, however, a rather complex process. A critical step in this process is formulation development, enabling the final product configuration. A number of challenges still exist in the formulation development process. This review is intended to discuss these challenges, to illustrate the basic formulation development processes, and to compare the options and strategies in practical formulation development.

Abstract
Background:Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein present in human blood plasma. It is a large multi-domain protein with 585 amino acid residues. Due to its importance in human body, studies on the interaction of HSA with different external agent is of vital interest. The denaturation and renaturation of HSA in presence of external agents are of particular interest as they affect the biological activity of the protein.Objective:The objective of this work is to study the domain-specific and overall structural and dynamical changes occurring to HSA in the presence of a denaturing agent, urea and a renaturing agent, sucrose.Methods:In order to carry out the domain-specific studies, HSA has been tagged using N-(7- dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarin-3-yl) iodoacetamide (DACIA) at Cys-34 of domain-I and pnitrophenyl coumarin ester (NPCE) at Tyr-411 site in domain-III, separately. Steady-state absorption, emission and solvation dynamic measurements have been carried out in order to monitor the domain-specific alteration of HSA caused by the external agents. The overall structural change of HSA have been monitored using circular dichroism spectroscopy.Results:The α-helicity of HSA was found to decrease from 65% to 11% in presence of urea and was found to further increase to 25% when sucrose is added, manifesting the denaturing and renaturing effects of urea and sucrose, respectively. The steady state studies show that domain-III is more labile towards denaturation as compared to domain-I. The presence of an intermediate state is observed during the denaturation process. The stabilization of this intermediate state in presence of sucrose is attributed as the reason for the stabilization of HSA by sucrose. From solvation dynamics studies, it could be seen that the solvation time of DACIA inside domain-I of HSA decreases and increases regularly with increasing concentrations of urea and sucrose, respectively, while in the case of NPCE-tagged domain-III, the effect of sucrose on solvation time is evident only at high concentrations of urea.Conclusion:The denaturing and renaturing effects of urea and sucrose could be clearly seen from the steady state studies and circular dichroism spectroscopy measurements. A regular change in solvation time could only be observed in the case of domain-I and not in domain-III. The results indicate that the renaturing effect of sucrose on domain-III is not very evident when protein is in its native state, but is evident in when the protein is denatured.</P>

Abstract
In this contribution, the structural and dynamic changes occurring to papain in ethanol-water binary solvent mixtures have been investigated and compared with its denatured state. Steady-state fluorescence, solvation dynamics, time-resolved rotational anisotropy, circular dichroism (CD), and single molecular-level fluorescence correlation spectroscopic (FCS) studies were performed for this purpose. In ethanol-water mixtures with XEtOH = 0.6, N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarin-3-yl)iodoacetamide (DACIA)-tagged papain was found to undergo a blue shift of 12 nm, while in the presence of 5 M GnHCl, a red shift of 5 nm was observed. Solvation dynamics of the system was also found to be different in the presence of these external agents. In ethanol-water mixtures, the average solvation time was found to increase almost 2-fold as compared to that in water, while in the presence of GnHCl, only a marginal increase could be observed. These changes of DACIA-tagged papain in ethanol-water mixtures are attributed to the aggregation of the protein in the presence of ethanol. The residual anisotropy was found to increase 14-fold, and the rotational time component corresponding to the rotation of the probe molecule was found to increase by 4-fold in the ethanol-water mixture which also gives a notion of the papain aggregation. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirms this aggregate formation, which is also quantified by the FCS study. The hydrodynamic radius of the protein aggregates in ethanol-water mixtures was calculated to be ∼155 Å as compared to the corresponding value of 18.4 Å in the case of native monomer papain. Also, it confirmed that the aggregate formation takes place even in the nanomolar concentration of papain. Analysis of circular dichroism spectra of papain showed that an increase in the β-sheet content of papain at the expense of α-helix and the random coil with an increase of the ethanol mole fraction may be responsible for this aggregation process.

Abstract
The disease-associated water-soluble form of hamster prion protein (ws-PrPSc) has recently been found to be less stable than classical PrPSc. Since the stability of PrP to degradation correlates with its glycosylation level, the aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences between the glycosylation of ws-PrPSc and classical PrPSc of hamster which might account for the ws-PrPSc minor stability compared with that of the classical PrPSc. Thus, ws-PrP and classical PrP were captured from noninfected or scrapie-infected hamster brain homogenate [high-speed supernatant (SHS) and high-speed pellet (PHS)] and blood plasma by anti-PrP antibodies (3F4 and 6H4) and subjected to screening for glycans by lectins under denaturing or nondenaturing procedures in a sandwich lectin-ELISA. Glycans have been found in minor quantities and differently exposed on ws-PrPSc from SHS and plasma compared with classical PrPSc from PHS. These differences have been shown to be potentially responsible for the instability of ws-PrPSc. Treatment of infected blood with GdnHCl significantly (P<0.01) increased the detection of ws-PrPSc in ELISA, reflecting an increase in its stability, and showed efficacy in removing high-abundance proteins in silver-stained gels. This increase in ws-PrPSc stability is due to an interaction of GdnHCl not only with high-abundance proteins but also with the ws-PrPSc glycosylation with particular regard to the mannose sugar. Analysis of lectins immunoreactivity toward total proteins from plasma collected before and at different time points after infection revealed that mannose might exert a stabilizing effect toward all of hamster blood glycoproteins, regardless of scrapie infection. Since low levels of ws-PrPSc/soluble-infectivity have been estimated both in blood and brain of hamster, this glycosylation-related instability may have negatively influenced the propensity of ws-PrPC to convert to ws-PrPSc both in blood and the brain. Therefore, PrPC glycosylation characteristics may provide a tool for the determination risk of prion transmissibility.

Abstract
In this work, we have investigated the effects of denaturing agents, guanidine hydrochloride (GnHCl) and temperature, on the overall structure, domain-I, and domain-III of human serum albumin (HSA) using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and steady-state, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. We have tagged Cys-34 of HSA, located at domain-I, using N-(7-dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarin-3-yl)iodoacetamide and Tyr-411 of HSA, located at domain-III, using p-nitrophenyl coumarin ester, for this purpose. The CD spectroscopy studies reveal the overall denaturation of the protein. The denaturation follows the expected direction in which the protein is denatured with an increase in the concentration of GnHCl or temperature. The α-helicity of the native state of HSA was found to be 64.2%, and the minimum value of α-helicity was found to be 14.8% in the presence of 6 M GnHCl at room temperature. Steady-state emission studies were carried out on domain-I and domain-III of the protein using site-specific fluorescent tags. The degree of folding of the two domains at different combinations of temperature and GnHCl concentration was calculated and was found to follow a slightly different course of denaturation. Solvation dynamics was found to be quite different for these two domains. The domain-I of HSA has a maximum solvation time of 0.39 ns, and the solvation time tends to decrease with the action of either temperature or GnHCl. On the other hand, the domain-III of HSA showed a much higher solvation time (1.42 ns) and does not show any regular change at higher temperatures or in the presence of GnHCl. This difference could be attributed to the different microenvironment inside the protein cores of the two domains.

Abstract
The ps-μs dynamics of domain-III of human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated using a new fluorescent marker selectively labeled to the Tyr-411 residue. The location of the marker has been confirmed using Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) study. Steady state, time-resolved and single molecular level fluorescence techniques have been employed to understand the dynamics within the domain-III of HSA. It is found that solvent reorganization dynamics in domain-III is 1.7 times faster than that in domain-I. The timescale of the local rotational dynamics of domain-III is found to be 2.3 times faster than that of domain-I. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopic experiments reveal that domain-III of HSA has more conformational flexibility than domain-I. Together, the results deliver useful details of the local environment around the domain-III of HSA, which have not been explored earlier, mainly because of a lack of a suitable fluorescent marker for domain-III. The newly synthesized probe serves well as a site specific fluorescent marker for HSA, and can be used for further investigation of the ligand binding properties and enzymatic activity of domain-III of HSA.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant circulating plasma protein. Besides a significant contribution to the osmotic pressure, it is also involved in the fine regulation of many other physiological processes, including the balance of the redox state, the inflammatory and/or immunological responses, and the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of many drugs. Growing evidence suggests that HSA undergoes structural and functional damage in diseases characterized by an enhanced systemic inflammatory response and oxidative stress, as it occurs in chronic liver disease. Based on their clinical relevance, this review provides a summary of the most common post-translational modifications affecting HSA structural integrity and functions and their clinical relevance in the field of liver disease. The review also provides a critical description of the analytical approaches employed for the investigation of conformational alterations and the identification/quantitation of specific post-translational modifications affecting HSA. Finally, the analytical methods available for the assessment of two of the most clinically relevant non-oncotic properties of HSA, namely the binding capacity and the antioxidant activity, are critically reviewed. Among the available techniques particular attention is given to those proposed for the in vitro and in vivo investigation of structurally modified albumin.

Abstract
The present study is devoted to understand the effect of sucrose on the hydration dynamics and rotational relaxation dynamics within the domain-I of HSA during chemically as well as thermally induced unfolding. It has been observed that the average solvation time become slower in the presence of sucrose for the lower concentrations of GnHCl, however at higher concentrations of GnHCl the effect of sucrose is almost negligible. From the time resolved fluorescence anisotropy it has been observed that in the lower concentration region of GnHCl the sucrose induced stabilization is small as compared to the higher concentrations of GnHCl. We have concluded that the hydration dynamics plays an important role in the sucrose induced stabilization process at the low concentration region; whereas environmental restriction is responsible at the higher concentration of GnHCl. However, we have observed a negligible stabilizing effect of sucrose towards the temperature induced unfolding.
