Dendrimers are a new class of nanotechnological polymers suitable for drug targeting, microarray systems or detoxication. The present study is devoted to a detailed analysis of binding between PAMAM dendrimers and bovine serum albumin (fatty acid free or loaded with oleic, linoleic, oleic+linoleic or oleic+linoleic+arachodonic acids) by measuring zeta-potential, fluorescence quenching, fluorescence anisotropy and electron paramagnetic resonance. Addition of PAMAM G2 and G6 dendrimers to protein solutions resulted in attachment to the protein molecule. The PAMAM dendrimers also competed with BSA for fatty acids if two or three fatty acids were loaded per protein. This can lead to the extraction of fatty acids from BSA to the PAMAM dendrimer.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011073 Polyamines Amine compounds that consist of carbon chains or rings containing two or more primary amino groups. Polyamine
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D004563 Electrochemistry The study of chemical changes resulting from electrical action and electrical activity resulting from chemical changes. Electrochemistries
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D005227 Fatty Acids Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).

D016880 Anisotropy A physical property showing different values in relation to the direction in or along which the measurement is made. The physical property may be with regard to thermal or electric conductivity or light refraction. In crystallography, it describes crystals whose index of refraction varies with the direction of the incident light. It is also called acolotropy and colotropy. The opposite of anisotropy is isotropy wherein the same values characterize the object when measured along axes in all directions. Anisotropies
D050091 Dendrimers Tree-like, highly branched, polymeric compounds. They grow three-dimensionally by the addition of shells of branched molecules to a central core. The overall globular shape and presence of cavities gives potential as drug carriers and CONTRAST AGENTS.
