albumin has a fundamental role in human body. its main tasks in blood are to regulate osmotic blood pressure, maintaining the ph, and transporting metabolites and drugs throughout the vascular system.  pharmacological studies of the interaction of drugs on hsa are important due to structural and functional changes of this vital protein; thus, here in this research the effect of valproate as a c...

hsa plays an important role in transporting metabolites and drugs throughout the vascular system.  in as much as its performance is very vital in the presents of different kinds of ligands at the specific body temperatures, its examination is crucial. this molecule can undergo increased glycation in diabetes. therefore, glucose as the one of the most fundamental ligands dealing with albumin in ...

human serum albumin has been used as a model protein for protein folding and ligand binding studies over many decades. due to its long life period and high concentration in plasma, hsa is highly sensitive to glycation. it is reported that 175 mg/dl glucose concentration is a threshold of kidney activity for the beginning of excretion of glucose. ph denaturation of hsa in absence and presence of...

to investigate the interaction and adsorption of drug and carbon nanotube on human serum albumin, three anti-cancer drugs ([pd(phen)(r-gly)]no3, r = methyl, propyl and amyl) with different hydrophobic tails and anticancer activities were selected. these drugs have better anti-tumor activity and less side effects than that known cis-platinum drug. human serum albumin is also important for drug d...

Thermal conformational changes in human serum albumin (HSA) in present with a 10 mM phosphate buffer, at pH=7 have been investigated via circular dichroism (CD) and UV spectroscopic methods. The results indicate that temperature in a range of 25oC to 55oC could induce a reversible conformational change in the structure of HSA. The HSA phase transition corresponds to the physiological and patho...

Medical Physics Division, Biophysics Department, Collegium Medicum of Nicolaus Copernicus University Jagiello«ska 13, 85-067 Bydgoszcz, Poland Optical methods are very useful for the study on behavior of molecules in albumin-containing solutions. The interaction between quercetin (QUE) and human serum albumin (HSA) under physiological conditions was investigated by the methods of UV-Vis absorpt...
