Binding parameters of metal complexes with albumins and DNA since the middle of 1990s are considered and summarized. The most widespread spectroscopic methods of estimation of binding parameters are discusseddirect fluorescent methods, indirect fluorescent methods (by fluorescence quenching parameters), and ways of estimation of binding constants by other optical spectroscopic methods. The methods and approaches to calculations used for the determination of binding constants are discussed. The data on the already found binding constants and kinetic parameters is systematized.KEYWORDS albumins, DNA, metal complexes, proteins, supramolecular interaction Funding information: Russian Foundation for Basic Research, Grant/Award Number: 16-03-01089_a 16-53-50027_YaF_a Abbreviations and designations used: F 0 , fluorescence intensity in the absence of a quencher; F, fluorescence intensity in the presence of a acid); NTSC, a new thiosemicarbazone; o-cbiaH, 5-(2-carboxybenzyloxy)isophthalic acid; o-van-gln, a Schiff base derived from o-vanillin and glutamine; o-van-L-met, Schiff base derived from o-vanillin and L-methionine; oxo, 5-
