The interaction of BSA and NIC was investigated by absorption spectra, fluorescence spectroscopy and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. In the system of sodium phosphate dibasic-citric acid of 0.1 mol(-1) x L(-1), fluorescence titration showed that the fluorescence intensity of BSA at 342 nm was quenched when NIC was added, NIC was capable of binding with BSA to form a 1:1 complex and the quenching mechanism of BSA affected by NIC was shown to be a static quenching procedure by calculating the binding number n and binding constant K. NIC decreased the intensity of the characteristic absorption peak of BSA, showing that the binding of NIC to BSA had strong impact on protein conformation with the decrease in a-helical content of the protein. Synchronous fluorescence indicated that the binding of NIC to BSA is near tryptophan subunit.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009538 Nicotine Nicotine is highly toxic alkaloid. It is the prototypical agonist at nicotinic cholinergic receptors where it dramatically stimulates neurons and ultimately blocks synaptic transmission. Nicotine is also important medically because of its presence in tobacco smoke. Nicotine Bitartrate,Nicotine Tartrate

D017433 Protein Structure, Secondary The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to ALPHA-HELICES; BETA-STRANDS (which align to form BETA-SHEETS), or other types of coils. This is the first folding level of protein conformation.
