curcumin is a natural polyphenolic compound with anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidation properties. low water solubility and rapid hydrolytic degradation are two challenges limiting use of curcumin as therapeutic agent. in the current study, the role of the bovine serum albumin (bsa), β-lactoglobulin and casein, as food-grade biopolymers and safe drug delivery systems, on the physic...

Abstract In this work, a double network bovine serum albumin-polyacrylamide (BSA-PAM) adhesive hydrogel was fabricated, in which combination of physical interactions including hydrogen bonds and chain entanglements, chemical covalent photo-crosslinking. The BSA-PAM exhibited excellent mechanical properties. composite not only demonstrated tensile properties (maximum force elongation 1552%~2037%...

Electrospinning of the globular protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), was optimized to obtain proteinous fibers suitable as biosensors. It was shown that the as-spun protein preserves its native form, whereas solubility of the cross-linked in the ambient conditions BSA nanofibers evidently decreases. Insoluble BSA fibers can be easily modified to be used as two-dimensional biosensors. Here, we s...

Abstract In this paper, we examined adsorption process of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on [p(HEMA)‐g‐CTS]/MMT ([poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate)‐graft‐chitosan]/montmorillonite) superabsorbent nanocomposite. nanocomposite was synthesized via free radical polymerization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) tech...

A simple biosensor, based on a tyrosinase-immobilized electrode, was developed for a rapid and quantitative measurement of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA). Tyrosinase, immobilized on a screen-printed carbon electrode, catalyzed the oxidation of tyrosine residues in the albumin to the corresponding quinone, which was further reduced electrochemically by the sensing elect...

Here we report, novel amphiphilic fluorescent probes for selective detection of BSA (bovine serum albumin), via non-covalent interactions. The intrinsic weak fluorescence of the probes in an aqueous medium increased dramatically after addition of BSA, while responses to various other proteins/enzymes are negligible.

Heat induced denaturation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) containing solutions in the presence of potassium iodide has been studied using UV/vis spectroscopy method. It has been shown that the thermal stability of protein depends on competitive interactions taking place in the solution. At low DMSO concentrations (5 vol. %) BSA is more stable than at higher concentrati...

The processes of supramolecular aggregation occurring on carbon surfaces in aqueous solutions bovine serum albumin (BSA) during drying were studied using modern scanning electron microscopy (SEM). materials highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and glassy (GC). Based the analysis SEM images EDX-scanning element distribution maps, a possible mechanism for formation observed intricate structu...

Fingerprint signatures of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are observed from Staphylococcus aureus nuclease (SNase), bovine serum albumin (BSA), and insulin (Ins) labeled with europium(III) complexes containing a β-diketonate ligand, where SNase shows a virtually opposite CPL sign compared to those of BSA and Ins.

Three new rimantadine Schiff bases (RSBs) were prepared, and then the interaction of RSBs with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, UV-vis absorption spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The results showed that the three RSBs effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching. Binding constant (Ka), number of ...
