Fluorescence Spectroscopy Study on the Interaction of Acetal Cleavable Anionic Surfactants and Bovine Serum Albumin

Abstract

The interactions between bovine serum albumin (BSA) and two cleavable anionic surfactants, sodium 3-[(2-nonyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methoxy]propane-1-sulfonate (SNPS) and sodium 3,3 -(2-nonyl-1,3-dioxane-5,5-diyl)bis(methylene)bis(oxy)dipropane-1-sulfonate (SNDPS), have been studied by means of fluorescence spectroscopy and thermodynamic analysis. The fluorescence of BSA is quenched via a static quenching mechanism with the addition of the surfactants. The binding constants of the surfactants and proteins have been measured, with (SNPS) = 8.71 × 10 4 M −1 and (SNDPS) = 7.08 × 10 4 M −1 , respectively. The interaction between surfactants and BSA is mainly of hydrophobic nature, based on the number of binding sites, n[n(SNPS) = 1.57, n(SNDPS) = 1.47], and the thermodynamic relationship. These results suggest that SNPS and SNDPS could be effective protein denaturants for protein separation and analysis.

“…However, formation of a complex in the ground state induces perturbation in the protein structure, resulting in a change in the absorption spectrum of the fluorophore. 24 As it is clear from Fig. 6, there is an increase in the intensity of the absorption peak with an increase in concentration of surfactant at the same wavelength.…”
