The biophysical interactions between the human serum albumin HSA and three synthesized diazo dyes 1-3 have been investigated by thermodynamic parameters and molecular docking technique. The binding constants Kb were calculated and the compounds were ranked according to their docking free energy. Different interactions were elucidated at the active site of the protein. Among these interactions is the hydrogen bonding which plays an essential role in the interaction with the protein. Both the theoretical and practical studies have agreed that diazo dye 1 has the strongest interaction with the active site.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
