Behavior of Drug Excited States within Macromolecules: Binding of Colchicine and Derivatives to Albumin

Can stem bromelain, a pineapple waste product, be used as a drug alternative? A mechanistic insight into protein–protein interactions

Binding of stem bromelain to bovine serum albumin induced conformational changes, as shown by various biophysical techniques.

Drug–tubulin interactions interrogated by transient absorption spectroscopy

The triplet excited state of complexed COL and MTC gives well defined transient spectra undetectable in the absence of TU.

Photoactive assemblies of organic compounds and biomolecules: drug–protein supramolecular systems

Modification of the drug excited state properties within proteins provides information on binding and may result in a different photoreactivity.
