The interaction between amine terminated G3.0 PAMAM dendrimers and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under physiological condition was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. Our experiments demonstrated that the fluorescence intensity of BSA decreased after the addition of G3.0 PAMAM dendrimers and the quenching mechanism was suggested as static quenching according to the Stern-Volmer equation The binding constant of G3.0 PAMAM dendrimers with BSA was calculated to be 1.067 +/- 0.025 L x mmol(-1). At the same time, synchronous fluorescence and red edge excitation shift (REES) were adopted to review the conformational changes of BSA influenced by G3.0 PAMAM dendrimers, which provides important significance for clinical medication And the results indicated that G3.0 PAMAM dendrimers can change the conformation of BSA. Furthermore, this article also examined the influence of pH and ionic strength on the interactions, from which we can conclude that electrostatic interaction played major roles in the binding process. In conclusion, the fluorescence method is a highly sensitive and convenient way to study intermolecular interaction. Further investigation in this field will provide more important information for understanding the pharmacological effects and toxicities of drugs in human body.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009994 Osmolar Concentration The concentration of osmotically active particles in solution expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per liter of solution. Osmolality is expressed in terms of osmoles of solute per kilogram of solvent. Ionic Strength,Osmolality,Osmolarity,Concentration, Osmolar,Concentrations, Osmolar,Ionic Strengths,Osmolalities,Osmolar Concentrations,Osmolarities,Strength, Ionic,Strengths, Ionic
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
D005453 Fluorescence The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
