摘要: Urea and guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) denaturation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated using bromophenol blue (BPB) binding as a probe. Addition BPB to BSA produced an absorption difference spectrum in the wavelength range, 525-675 nm with minimum at 587 maximum 619 nm. The magnitude (DeltaAbs.) decreased on increasing urea/GdnHCl concentration followed curve. was found be two-state, single-step transition. transitions started 1.75 0.875 M completed 6.5 3.25 mid point occurring around 4.0 1.5 urea GdnHCl concentrations, respectively. value free energy stabilization, DeltaGDH2O determined from curves 4041 4602 cal/mol, Taken together, these results suggest that can used probe study BSA.
