Hydrodynamic structure of bovine serum albumin determined by transient electric birefringence.

Fabrication of Bovine Serum Albumin-Loaded Coaxial Electrospun Thread with an Aligned Core-Shell Fibrous Structure

Comparative Binding Affinities of Flavonoid Phytochemicals with Bovine Serum Albumin

Dietary flavonoids show beneficial effects in the prevention of chronic diseases. However, flavonoid bioavailability is poor, probably due to their interaction with serum albumins. In the current work, the binding interactions of eight related flavonoids, sharing a similar core structure, with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding affinities of t...

Quantification of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin by Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles

Background and Aims: Some nanoparticles can be used in immunoassays to increase sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate a novel nano-immunoassay based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs). Materials and methods: At first, the nanostructure was synthesized, and then applied as a tag in the nano-immunoassay. Then the concentration of β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin ...

Optical birefringence of liquid crystals for label-free optical biosensing diagnosis

PURPOSE We present a polarization-sensitive optical detection platform for label-free quantitative optical biosensing diagnosis using liquid crystals (LCs). This is capable of determining quantitatively the optical birefringence of optical cells containing LCs, whose orientation depends on the immobilized biomolecules. PATIENTS AND METHODS This technique uses a polarization-dependent double-p...

Thermodynamic Studies on the Interaction of Phthalocyanine with Bovine serum albumin

Using UV-Vis spectrophotometric method the interaction of water soluble phthalocyanine, Cobalt(ΙΙ) 4,4′,4′′,4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine(CoTSPc), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to determine the formation constant and related thermodynamic functions. The measurements were considered in 1mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 and at 5 different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40ºC. The results sho...
