利用荧光光谱和紫外光谱研究了脲(Urea)对牛血清白蛋白(BSA)结构的影响以及氧氟沙星(Oflx)与脲诱导的BSA结合的情况。结果显示:Urea诱导BSA变性历经两步、三态且伴随中间态形成的过程中,随着Urea浓度的增大,BSA荧光强度降低并先蓝移(344~336nm),后又红移至350nm.Urea浓度在4.6~5.2mol/L范围时,Oflx对BSA中间态有强的猝灭作用(KQ=10.46×104L/mol,Urea4.8mol/L)和较大的结合常数(KA=3.8807×105L/mol,Urea4.8mol/L),但是结合位点数小(n=0.76,Urea5.0mol/L),能量传递效率低(E=0.3002,Urea4.8mol/L)。同步荧光光谱显示:Urea诱导BSA去折叠时,色氨酸残基(Trp-212)微环境并未发生改变,而酪氨酸残基(Tyr)的最大荧光发射峰蓝移,Oflx的加入诱导Trp-212的微环境更具疏水性,Oflx加速了Urea对BSA的失活作用。
Structural alteration of urea-induced bovine serum albumin (BSA) and interaction of oflxacin (Oflx) with urea-induced BSA were investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that BSA followed a two-step, three-state transition with an intermediate in the process of unfolding. With increasing the concentration of urea, it can be found that the fluorescence of BSA decreased early with a blue shift of about 8 nm (from 344 to 336 nm) and subsequently a red shift to 350 nm. When urea concentrations varied from 4.6 to 5.2 mol/L, oflx quenched the fluorescence of an intermediate of BSA with the optimal condition as fluorescence quenching constants (KQ= 10.46×10^4 L/mol, urea 4.8 mol/L) and binding constants (KA=3.8807×10^5 L/mol, urea 4.8 mol/L), whereas with small binding sites (n=0.76, urea 5.0 mol/L) and low energy transfer efficiency (E=0.3002, urea 4.8 mol/L). Synchronous fluorescence spectrometry showed that during the unfolding of BSA induced by urea, tryptophan residue (Trp-212) residue rnicroenvironment had no changes, at the same time the maximal fluorescence peak of tyrosine residues (Tyr) shifted towards short-wavelength. The introduction of oflx indued Tip microenvironment to be more hydrophobic, which also accelerated the denaturation of BSA by urea.
