[PMID: 38908639 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 06/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024]
Abstract
Captopril is a thiol drug, widely used for the management of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Reactive thiols are found to covalently modify the cysteines of plasma proteins and affect their structure and function. Human serum albumin (HSA) is prone to undergo modification by various low molecular weight compounds, including drugs. Cysteine34 (Cys34) in HSA has a free thiol group with antioxidant properties, considered to be the most redox-sensitive amino acid in plasma. Through mass-spectrometric analysis, we demonstrate for the first time that captopril forms a disulfide adduct at Cys34 residue and increases the protease susceptibility of HSA to trypsin. As evidenced by our biophysical and electron microscopy studies, HSA undergoes structural alteration, aggregation and morphological changes when treated with different captopril concentrations. Molecular dynamics studies further revealed the regions of secondary structural changes in HSA due to disulfide adduct formation by captopril at Cys34. It also elucidated the residues involved in the noncovalent interactions with captopril. It is envisaged that structural change in HSA may influence the efficacy of drug delivery as well as its own biological function. These findings may thus provide significant insights into the field of pharmacology intriguing further investigation into the effects of long-term captopril treatment.

Abstract
Alpelisib (ALP) is a potent anti-cancer drug showing promising activity against advanced breast cancers. Hence, profound understanding of its binding dynamics within the physiological system is vital. Herein, we have investigated interaction of ALP with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using spectroscopic techniques like absorption, fluorescence, time-resolved, synchronous and 3D-fluorescence, FRET, FT-IR, CD, and molecular docking studies. The intrinsic fluorescence of both BSA and HSA quenched significantly by ALP with an appreciable red shift in its emission maxima. Stern-Volmer analysis showed increase in Ksv with temperature indicating involvement of dynamic quenching process. This was further validated by no significant change in absorption spectrum of BSA and HSA (at 280 nm) upon ALP interaction, and by results of fluorescence time-resolved lifetime studies. ALP exhibited moderately strong binding affinity with BSA (of the order 106 M-1) and HSA (of the order 105 M-1), and the major forces accountable for stabilizing the interactions are hydrophobic forces. Competitive drug binding experiments and molecular docking suggested that ALP binds to site I in subdomain IIA of BSA and HSA. The Förster distance r was found to be less than 8 nm and 0.5 Ro < r < 1.5 Ro which suggests possible energy transfer between donors BSA/HSA and acceptor ALP. Synchronous and 3D-fluoresecnce, FT-IR and CD studies indicated that ALP induces conformational changes of BSA and HSA upon interaction.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Inducing the bio-functionalization in noble metal nanoparticles like gold, silver, zinc is very important to accomplish their biocompatibility in biological activities. These metal nanoparticles are being rigorously used in bio-sensing tools keeping their remarkable properties in mind. Amongst the serum albumins, the most ample proteins in plasma are bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin. A broad variety of physiological functions of bovine serum albumin has made it a model protein for bio-functionalization. In the present study, ZnO/Ag nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by SEM and XRD techniques and the interaction between bovine serum albumin and ZnO/Ag nanoparticles was evaluated by employing ultra-violet, steady state fluorescence, circular dichroism and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. Upon the excitation of bovine serum albumin, ZnO/Ag nanoparticles appreciably reduced the intrinsic fluorescence intensity of bovine serum albumin. The number of binding locations and apparent binding constants at different temperatures were calculated by the fluorescence quenching method. Static mechanism of quenching and conformational modifications in bovine serum albumin were also found.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The reversibility of gel property of alcohol (methanol, ethanol)-pretreated fish gelatin (FG) were investigated through removing alcohol solutions by freeze drying. Results showed that the gel strength and the hardness of FG could be retained (1%, 40%) or even improved (1% methanol) using low or high concentration alcohol solutions, while decreased in medium concentration alcohol solutions. Compared with untreated FG, rheology results showed that, all alcohol solutions pretreated FG had lower apparent viscosity, while higher alcohol solutions pretreated ones decreased the gel and melt points and shorten the gelation time. Sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that methanol pretreated FG had the higher α contents than those of ethanol pretreated. Circular dichroism spectra results indicated that β-sheet could be decreased after removing ethanol solutions, whereas the β-sheet increased after removing the methanol solutions. Moreover, low field nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation test showed that pretreated FG had lower transverse relaxation times of internal water (T21 and T22 ) compared to that of the untreated FG. Overall, FG still retains higher gel properties after removing the low or high alcohol concentrations.

Abstract
Human serum albumin or simply called albumin is a flexible protein employed as a carrier in the fabrication of albumin-based nanocarriers (ANCs) for the administration of cancer therapeutics. Albumin can contribute enhanced tumour specificity, reduced drug induced cytotoxicity and retain concentration of the therapeutically active agent such as drug, peptide, protein, and gene for a prolonged time duration. Nevertheless, apart from cancer management, ANCs are also employed in the diagnosis, imaging, and multimodal cancer therapy. This article figures out salient characteristics, design as well as categories of ANCs in the context of their application in cancer management. In addition, this review article discusses the fabrication methods of ANCs, use of ANCs in gene, cancer, and multimodal therapy along with cancer diagnosis and imaging. Lastly, this review also briefly discusses about (ANCs) formulations, commercial products, and those under clinical testing.

Abstract
The present study systematically investigated the effects of alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, and propanol with different hydroxyl group numbers and locations on the thermal stability and molecular aggregation behavior of collagen. The results of ultra-sensitive differential scanning calorimetry (US-DSC), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and intrinsic fluorescence showed that with the increase of carbon chain length, alcohols can denature collagen, accompanied by transition in triple helical structure, promoted aggregation behavior, and altered molecular interactions. However, with the number of hydroxyl groups in alcohol molecules increased, the thermal stability of collagen increased and the molecules tended to disperse. Furthermore, radial distribution function (RDF) results showed that alcohols can change the structure of the hydration layer around collagen, thus altering the aggregation morphology of collagen molecules in solution. The results of the interaction between components in different alcohol systems demonstrated that with the decrease of alcohol polarity, bridge bond networks were formed between collagen molecules. Specifically, it was found that because the hydroxyl groups in 1,3-propanediol are located at both ends of the carbon chain, the reticular bridge bond structure formed between the collagen molecules changed into chain-like bridge structure. The bridge bonds between collagen molecules were considered to be weak cross-linking, which was an important reason for the destruction of collagen structure. In this study, the mechanism of interaction between different alcohols and collagen was elucidated, which will be helpful for further development of complex alcohol and collagen products.

Abstract
Albumin nanovectors represent one of the most promising carriers recently generated because of the cost-effectiveness of their fabrication, biocompatibility, safety, and versatility in delivering hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutics and diagnostic agents. In this review, we describe and discuss the recent advances in how this technology has been harnessed for drug delivery in cancer, evaluating the commonly used synthesis protocols and considering the key factors that determine the biological transport and the effectiveness of such technology. With this in mind, we highlight how clinical and experimental albumin-based delivery nanoplatforms may be designed for tackling tumor progression or improving the currently established diagnostic procedures.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) of protein-based materials have become one of the most promising candidates for drug carriers in drug-delivery systems because of their in vivo nontoxicity, biodegradability, compatibility with hydrophilic drugs, and adaptability to the human body. Many studies have investigated the fabrication of protein NPs from human serum albumin (HSA) as a new drug carrier. It is important for these NPs to remain in the blood until they reach their therapeutic target to achieve the desired effect; the quicker the clearance of drugs from the body, the shorter is the residence time of drugs in the body, which eventually reduces drug efficacy. Macrophage uptake is a major mechanism for clearance of NPs from the body, so, reducing the degree of macrophage uptake is a major challenge in drug-delivery systems. Original studies of HSA NP uptake by macrophages showed that denatured HSA and HSA NPs synthesized with 80% (v/v) ethanol showed a high degree of macrophage uptake. We found that HSA NPs synthesized with lower ethanol content at pH 7 showed lower macrophage uptake in in vitro macrophage cellular uptake experiments. The effects of the preparation parameters of ethanol concentration, pH, and glutaraldehyde on the macrophage uptake of NPs were thoroughly studied. This newly developed protein NP with lower macrophage uptake has potential application as a drug carrier for many delivery systems.

Abstract
In the present study, the interaction of human serum albumin (HSA) with some cardiovascular drugs (CARs) under physiological conditions was investigated via the fluorescence spectroscopic and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The CAR included Captopril, Timolol, Propranolol, Atenolol, and Amiodarone. Cardiovascular drugs can effectively quench the endogenous fluorescence of HSA by static quenching mechanism. The fluorescence quenching of HSA is mainly caused by complex formation of HSA with CAR. The binding reaction of CAR with HSA can be concluded that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions are the main binding forces in the CAR-HSA system. The results showed that CAR strongly quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching procedure, and nonradiation energy transfer happened within molecules. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy absorption studies showed that the secondary structure was changed according to the interaction of HSA and CAR. The binding reaction of CAR with HSA can be concluded that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions are the main binding forces in the CAR-HSA system. The results obtained herein will be of biological significance in pharmacology and clinical medicines.

Abstract
The binding interaction of a biocompatible water-soluble polycationic two-photon fluorophore (Ant-PIm) toward human serum albumin (HSA) was thoroughly investigated under simulated physiological conditions using a combination of steady-state, time-resolved, and two-photon excited fluorescence techniques. The emission properties of both Ant-PIm and the fluorescent amino acid residues in HSA undergo remarkable changes upon complexation allowing the thermodynamic profile associated with Ant-PIm-HSA complexation to be accurately established. The marked increase in Ant-PIm fluorescence intensity and quantum yield in the proteinous environment seems to be the outcome of the attenuation of radiationless decay pathways resulting from motional restriction imposed on the fluorophore. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer and site-marker competitive experiments provide conclusive evidence that the binding of Ant-PIm preferentially occurs within the subdomain IIA. The pronounced hypsochromic effect and increased fluorescence enhancement upon association with HSA, compared to that of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and other biological interferents, makes the polymeric Ant-PIm probe a valuable sensing agent in rather complex biological environments, allowing facile discrimination between the closely related HSA and BSA. Furthermore, the strong two-photon absorption (TPA) with a maximum located at 820 nm along with a TPA cross section σ2 > 800 GM, and the marked changes in the position and intensity of the band upon complexation definitely make Ant-PIm a promising probe for two-photon excited fluorescence-based discrimination of HSA from BSA.

BACKGROUND Measurement of urinary albumin (HSA) is very important in diagnostic of kidney diseases. Much less is known about the possible impact of substances present in urine together with albumin on the results of measurements. METHODS We investigated the effect of the presence of captopril and cisplatin in the solution on the result of the determination of HSA by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Protein conformation in the absence and presence of the drugs was examined using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). RESULTS The presence of captopril apparently increases HSA concentration while cisplatin causes an apparent decrease in the HSA concentration. The presence of both drugs also influence the secondary structure forms of HSA albumin investigated by FTIR. CONCLUSION Both drugs tested in the concentration of human use can have an impact on the results of determination of albumin in urine which can influence clinical decision.

Abstract
Improving the enzyme stability is a challenge for allowing their practical application. The surfactants are stabilizing agents, however, there are still questions about their influence on enzyme properties. The structure-activity/stability relationship for β-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans is studied here by Circular Dichroism and activity measurements, as a function of temperature and pH. The tendency of preserving the β-sheet and α-helix structures at temperatures below 65°C and different pH is the result of the balance between the large- and short-range effects, respecting to the active site. This information is fundamental for explaining the structural changes of this enzyme in the presence of Triton X-100 surfactant and ethanol. The enzyme thermal stabilization in the presence of this surfactant responds to the rearrangement of the secondary structure for having optimal activity/stability. The effect of ethanol is more related with changes in the dielectric properties of the aqueous solution than with protein structural transformations. These results contribute to understand the effects of surfactant-enzyme interactions on the enzyme behavior, from the structural point of view and to rationalize the surfactant-based stabilizing strategies for β-galactosidades.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the interaction of sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) with human serum albumin(HSA). Spectroscopic analysis of the emission quenching at different temperatures revealed that the quenching mechanism of human serum albumin by SMZ was static mechanism. The binding constant values for the SMZ–HSA system were obtained to be 22,500 L/mol at 288 K, 15,600 L/mol at 298 K, and 8500 L/mol at 308 K. The distance r between donor and acceptor was evaluated according to the theory of Föster energy transfer. The results of spectroscopic analysis and molecular modeling techniques showed that the conformation of human serum albumin had been changed in the presence of SMZ. The thermodynamic parameters, namely enthalpy change (∆H0) −36.0 kJ/mol, entropy change (∆S0) −41.3 J/mol K and free energy change (∆G0) −23.7 kJ/mol, were calculated by using van׳t Hoff equation. The effect of common ions on the binding of SMZ to HSA was tested.

Abstract
The interactions of 4-aminoantipyrine (AAP) with human serum albumin (HSA) have been studied by UV-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The binding of 4-aminoantipyrine quenches the HSA fluorescence, revealing a 1:1 interaction with a binding constant of about 10(5) M(-1). The experimental results showed that AAP effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA via dynamic type of quenching. In addition, according to the synchronous fluorescence spectra of HSA in presence of 4-aminoantipyrine, the tryptophan residue of the proteins are most perturbed by the binding process. The number of binding sites, the binding constant, site probe study, some common metal ions effect and the thermodynamic parameters were calculated.

Abstract
This study investigated the interaction between eupatorin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption, fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies, and molecular modeling at pH 7.4. Results of UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies illustrated that BSA fluorescence was quenched by eupatorin via a static quenching mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters revealed that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions played major roles in the interaction. Moreover, the efficiency of energy transfer, and the distance between BSA and acceptor eupatorin, were calculated. The effects of eupatorin on the BSA conformation were analyzed using UV-vis, CD, and synchronous fluorescence. Finally, the binding of eupatorin to BSA was modeled using the molecular docking method.

Abstract
The study was designed to examine the interaction between 2-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(N-acetyl)-5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxymethyl)-1,3,4-oxodiazoline (MPNDO) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under physiological conditions by using fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy and atomic force microscope. Spectroscopic analysis of the fluorescence emission quenching and ultraviolet absorption revealed that the quenching mechanism of bovine serum albumin by MPNDO was static quenching procedure. The binding constant and binding sites number at different temperatures were measured. The average binding distances between donor (BSA) and acceptor (MPNDO) was estimated to be 1.46 nm (301 K), based on the Föster non-radioactive energy transfer theory. An average size of 3.1 nm had a high proportion and these dots might be ascribed to BSA, some other dots with an average size of 6.6 nm might result from BSA-MPNDO bioconjugates while the average diameter of MPNDO was 1.6 nm, which was reasonable to conclude that one BSA-MPNDO bioconjugates consisted of one BSA and one MPNDO. The thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change (ΔH), entropy change (ΔS) and free energy change (ΔG) were calculated, which indicated that the action force was mainly van der Waals forces. The data collected through synchronous fluorescence, FT-IR spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy demonstrated that the conformation of BSA was not affected obviously in the presence of MPNDO.

Abstract
The toxicity of hydroxyl group of isopropanol to trypsin in aqueous solution was investigated by techniques including UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, enzyme activity assay and molecular docking technology. The results of UV-visible absorption spectroscopy and CD spectra indicate that isopropanol could change the secondary structure of trypsin by increasing the content of α-helix and decreasing the content of β-sheet. The tertiary structure of trypsin was also changed owing to the loss of environmental asymmetry of amino acid residues. Isopropanol bound into a hydrophobic cavity on the surface of trypsin by a hydrogen bond located between the hydrogen atom on the hydroxyl of isopropanol and the oxygen atoms on SER 214 and hydrophobic interaction, as the molecular docking results showed. In addition, isopropanol could affect the function of trypsin by increasing its catalytic activity.

Abstract
This paper was designed to investigate the interaction of ethyl maltol with human serum albumin (HSA) under physiological condition by fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, Fourier transformation infrared spectra, and molecular docking method. Spectroscopic analysis of the emission quenching at different temperatures revealed that the quenching mechanism of HSA by ethyl maltol was static quenching mechanism. The binding constants of ethyl maltol-HSA complexes were observed to be 2.59, 1.88, 1.54, 1.13×10(4) M(-1) at 289, 296, 303 and 310 K, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters, ΔH(0) and ΔS(0) were calculated to be -28.61 kJ mol(-1) and -14.59 J mol(-1) K(-1). Energy transfer from tryptophan to ethyl maltol occurred by a FRET mechanism, and the donor-acceptor distance (3.04 nm) had been determined according to Förster's theory. Molecular docking studies revealed that ethyl maltol situated within subdomain IIA (site I) of HSA. Fluorescence displacement experiments also proved the binding sites between ethyl maltol and HSA.

Abstract
Ultrasound effects on biological samples are gaining a growing interest concerning in particular, the intracellular delivery of drugs and genes in a safe and in a efficient way. Future progress in this field will require a better understanding of how ultrasound and acoustic cavitation affect the biological system properties. The morphological changes of cells due to ultrasound (US) exposure have been extensively studied, while little attention has been given to the cells structural changes. We have exposed two different cell lines to 1 MHz frequency ultrasound currently used in therapy, Jurkat T-lymphocytes and NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, both employed as models respectively in the apoptosis and in the gene therapy studies. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy was used as probe to reveal the structural changes in particular molecular groups belonging to the main biological systems. The genotoxic damage of cells exposed to ultrasound was ascertained by the Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus (CBMN) assay. The FTIR spectroscopy results, combined with multivariate statistical analysis, regarding all cellular components (lipids, proteins, nucleic acids) of the two cell lines, show that Jurkat cells are more sensitive to therapeutic ultrasound in the lipid and protein regions, whereas the NIH-3T3 cells are more sensitive in the nucleic acids region; a meaningful genotoxic effect is present in both cell lines only for long sonication times while in the Jurkat cells also a significant cytotoxic effect is revealed for long times of exposure to ultrasound.

Abstract
A strategy to manipulate the disulfide bond breaking triggered unfolding, and subsequently assembly of human serum albumin (HSA) in a lipophilic drug-dependent manner is present. In this study, the hydrophobic region, a molecular switch of the HSA, was regulated to form HSA-paclitaxel (HSA-PTX) nanoparticles by a facile route. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and fluorescence quenching indicate that HSA coassembled with PTX, which acts as a bridge to form core-shell nanoparticles about 50-240 nm in size, and that PTX might bind to the subdomain IIA sites of HSA. Change of ultraviolet absorption and circular dichroism spectra reveal the formation of HSA-PTX nanoparticles, which is a safety, injectable pharmaceutic nanocarrier system for tumor target. This method to prepare nanocarrier systems for hydrophobic guest molecules reveals a general principle of self-assembly for other plasma proteins and other pharmacologically active substances with poor water solubility. It also provides a basis for developing nanocarrier systems for a wide range of applications in nanomedicine, from drug delivery to bioimaging systems.

Abstract
The effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (100-500 MPa) on solubility and structural properties of ethanol (EtOH)-denatured soy β-conglycinin and glycinin were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy. HHP treatment above 200 MPa, especially at neutral and alkaline pH as well as low ionic strength, significantly improved the solubility of denatured soy proteins. Structural rearrangements of denatured β-conglycinin subjected to high pressure were confirmed, as evidenced by the increase in enthalpy value (ΔH) and the formation of the ordered supramolecular structure with stronger intramolecular hydrogen bond. HHP treatment (200-400 MPa) caused an increase in surface hydrophobicity (F(max)) of β-conglycinin, partially attributable to the exposure of the Tyr and Phe residues, whereas higher pressure (500 MPa) induced the decrease in F(max) due to hydrophobic rearrangements. The Trp residues in β-conglycinin gradually transferred into a hydrophobic environment, which might further support the finding of structural rearrangements. In contrast, increasing pressure induced the progressive unfolding of denatured glycinin, accompanied by the movement of the Tyr and Phe residues to the molecular surface of protein. These results suggested that EtOH-denatured β-conglycinin and glycinin were involved in different pathways of structural changes during HHP treatment.

Abstract
The interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and fluoxetine hydrochloride (FLX) have been studied by using different spectroscopic techniques viz., fluorescence, UV-vis absorption, circular dichroism and FTIR under simulated physiological conditions. Fluorescence results revealed the presence of static type of quenching mechanism in the binding of FLX to HSA. The values of binding constant, K of FLX-HSA were evaluated at 289, 300 and 310 K and were found to be 1.90x10(3), 1.68x10(3) and 1.45x10(3) M(-1), respectively. The number of binding sites, n was noticed to be almost equal to unity thereby indicating the presence of a single class of binding site for FLX on HSA. Based on the thermodynamic parameters, DeltaH(0) and DeltaS(0) nature of binding forces operating between HSA and FLX were proposed. Spectral results revealed the conformational changes in protein upon interaction. Displacement studies indicated the site I as the main binding site for FLX on HSA. The effect of common ions on the binding of FLX to HSA was also investigated.

Abstract
Protein aggregation has a multitude of consequences ranging from affecting protein expression to its implication in different diseases. Of recent interest is the specific form of aggregation leading to the formation of amyloid fibrils, structures associated with diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. These fibrils can further associate in other more complex structures such as fibrillar gels, plaques, or spherulitic structures. In the present work, we describe the physical and structural properties of additional supraself-assembled structures of human serum albumin under solution conditions in which amyloid-like fibrils are formed. We have detected the formation of ordered aggregates of amyloid fibrils, i.e., spherulites which possess a radial arrangement of the fibrils around a disorganized protein core and sizes of several micrometers by means of polarized optical microscopy, laser confocal microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. These spherulites are detected both in solution and embedded in an isotropic matrix of fibrillar gels. In this regard, we have also noted the formation of protein gels when the protein concentration and/or ionic strength exceds a threshold value (the gelation point) as observed by rheometry. Fibrillar gels are formed through intermolecular nonspecific association of amyloid fibrils at a pH far away from the isolectric point of the protein where protein molecules seem to display a "solid-like" behavior due to the existence of non-DLVO (Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeck) intermolecular repulsive forces. As the solution ionic strength increases, a coarsening of this type of gel is observed by environmental scanning microscopy. In contrast, at pH close to the protein isoelectric point, particulate gels are formed due to a faster aggregation process, which does not allow substantial structural reorganization to enable the formation of ordered structures. This behavior also additionally corroborates that the existence of particulates might also be a generic property of all polypeptide chains as amyloid fibril formation under suitable conditions.

Abstract
The fibrillation propensity of the multidomain protein human serum albumin (HSA) was analyzed under different solution conditions. The aggregation kinetics, protein conformational changes upon self-assembly, and structure of the different intermediates on the fibrillation pathway were determined by means of thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence and Congo Red absorbance; far- and near-ultraviolet circular dichroism; tryptophan fluorescence; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; x-ray diffraction; and transmission electron, scanning electron, atomic force, and microscopies. HSA fibrillation extends over several days of incubation without the presence of a lag phase, except for HSA samples incubated at acidic pH and room temperature in the absence of electrolyte. The absence of a lag phase occurs if the initial aggregation is a downhill process that does not require a highly organized and unstable nucleus. The fibrillation process is accompanied by a progressive increase in the beta-sheet (up to 26%) and unordered conformation at the expense of alpha-helical conformation, as revealed by ThT fluorescence and circular dichroism and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, but changes in the secondary structure contents depend on solution conditions. These changes also involve the presence of different structural intermediates in the aggregation pathway, such as oligomeric clusters (globules), bead-like structures, and ring-shaped aggregates. We suggest that fibril formation may take place through the role of association-competent oligomeric intermediates, resulting in a kinetic pathway via clustering of these oligomeric species to yield protofibrils and then fibrils. The resultant fibrils are elongated but curly, and differ in length depending on solution conditions. Under acidic conditions, circular fibrils are commonly observed if the fibrils are sufficiently flexible and long enough for the ends to find themselves regularly in close proximity to each other. These fibrils can be formed by an antiparallel arrangement of beta-strands forming the beta-sheet structure of the HSA fibrils as the most probable configuration. Very long incubation times lead to a more complex morphological variability of amyloid mature fibrils (i.e., long straight fibrils, flat-ribbon structures, laterally connected fibers, etc.). We also observed that mature straight fibrils can also grow by protein oligomers tending to align within the immediate vicinity of the fibers. This filament + monomers/oligomers scenario is an alternative pathway to the otherwise dominant filament + filament manner of the protein fibril's lateral growth. Conformational preferences for a certain pathway to become active may exist, and the influence of environmental conditions such as pH, temperature, and salt must be considered.

Abstract
The binding characteristics of human serum albumin (HSA) with N-alkyl phenothiazines derivatives (NAP) viz., levomepromazine monomaleate (LMM) and propericiazine (PPC) have been studied by employing fluorescence, absorption, circular dichroism and FT-IR techniques. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant, K(SV) values were found to decrease with increase in temperature thereby indicating the presence of static quenching mechanism in the interactions of NAP with HSA. The number of binding sites, n and the binding constant, K were noticed to be, respectively, 1.11 and (5.188+/-0.034)x10(4) M(-1) for LMM and 1.06 and (4.436+/-0.066)x10(4) M(-1) for PPC at 298 K. The negative value of enthalpy change and positive value of entropy change in the present study indicated that the hydrophobic forces played a major role in the binding of NAP to HSA. The circular dichroism and FT-IR spectral data revealed the conformational changes in the structure of protein upon its interaction with NAP. The binding distances and the energy transfer efficiency between NAP and protein were determined based on Förster's theory of energy transfer. The decreased binding constants of HAS-LMM and HAS-PPC systems in presence of common ions indicated the availability of higher concentration of free drug in plasma.

Abstract
Ethanol is widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient for the solubilization of many hydrophobic drugs for injections. However, there are only few studies about drug interaction with pharmaceutical excipients in the body after injection. In this study, the effect of ethanol (500 mM) or several alcohols (500 mM) on the stereoselective binding of warfarin enantiomers to fatty acid-free human serum albumin (HSA) or proteins of commercial albumin preparations was investigated. An ultrafiltration method was used for the separation of unbound warfarin enantiomers. By the addition of ethanol or 1-propanol, the unbound fraction of the S-enantiomer was decreased. On the other hand, the unbound fraction of the R-enantiomer was increased by the addition of ethanol or 1-propanol. Unbound fractions of both the S- and R-enantiomer were decreased by 2-propanol. In various commercial albumin preparations, unbound fractions of both the S- and R-enantiomer were increased by ethanol. The different effects of ethanol among fatty acid-free HSA and commercial albumin preparations were observed.

Abstract
The binding of rhein with human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied in detail by spectroscopic method including circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transformation infrared spectra (FT-IR), fluorescence spectra. The binding parameters for the reaction have been calculated according to Scatchard equation at different temperatures. The plots indicated that the binding of HSA to rhein at 303, 310 and 318 K is characterized by one binding site with the affinity constant K at (4.93+/-0.16)x10(5), (4.02+/-0.16)x10(5) and (2.69+/-0.16)x10(5) M-1, respectively. The secondary structure compositions of free HSA and its rhein complexes were estimated by the FT-IR spectra. FT-IR and curve-fitted results of amide I band are in good agreement with the analyses of CD spectra. Molecular Modeling method was used to calculate the interaction modes between the drug and HSA.

Abstract
In order to investigate the thermal stability of human serum albumin (HAS) in three different states (aqueous solution, cast film, and solid powder), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was applied to determine the protein secondary structural changes of these HSA samples under non-isothermal or isothermal condition. The structural similarity of HSA before and after thermal treatment was also studied to estimate the thermo-reversible property of the HSA in these different states. The results indicate that with the increase of temperature, the maximum peaks at 1652 and 1547 cm(-1) (alpha-helix) shifted to 1647 and 1542 cm(-1) (random coil), respectively. An additional peak at 1620 cm(-1) assigned to intermolecular beta-sheet structure clearly appeared with temperature. The alpha-helix content was found to be reduced in favor of the formation of intermolecular hydrogen-bonded antiparallel beta-sheet structure beyond 60 degrees C in the heating process. From the data of structural similarity, HSA sample whether in solid powder or cast film form exhibited a better thermo-reversible property than HSA in aqueous solution even heating to 200 degrees C.

Abstract
The effects of pH and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiation on the secondary structure of human serum albumin (HSA) in the absence or presence of captopril were investigated by an attenuated total reflection (ATR)/Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The UV-B exposure affecting the stability of captopril before and after captopril-HSA interaction was also examined by using confocal Raman microspectroscopy. The results indicate that the transparent pale-yellow solution for captopril-HSA mixture in all pH buffer solutions, except pH 5.0 approximately 7.0, changed into a viscous form then a gel form with UV-B exposure time. The secondary structural transformation of HSA in the captopril-HSA mixture with or without UV-B irradiation was found to shift the maxima amide I peak in IR spectra from 1652 cm(-1) assigned to alpha-helix structure to 1622 cm(-1) because of a beta-sheet structure, which was more evident in pH 3.0, 8.0 or 9.0 buffer solutions. The Raman shift from 1653 cm(-1) (alpha-helix) to 1670 cm(-1) (beta-sheet) also confirmed this result. Captopril dissolved in distilled water with or without UV-B irradiation was determined to form a captopril disulfide observed from the Raman spectra of 512 cm(-1), which was exacerbated by UV-B irradiation. There was little disulfide formation in the captopril-HSA mixture even with long-term UV-B exposure, but captopril might interact with HSA to change the protein secondary structure of HSA whether there was UV-B irradiation or not. The pH of the buffer solution and captopril-HSA interaction may play more important roles in transforming the secondary structure of HSA from alpha-helix to beta-sheet in the corresponding captopril-HSA mixture than UV-B exposure. The present study also implies that HSA has the capability to protect the instability of captopril in the course of UV-B irradiation. In addition, a partial unfolding of HSA induced by pH or captopril-HSA interaction under UV-B exposure is proposed.
