Table 2: Binding parameters for ASP+HSA interaction recovered from Eqs.1 and 2
at pH 7 and 298K. p=1 indicates that the binding is non-cooperative in the two sets
of binding sites. The positive value of indicate that ASP+HSA complex is stable
and the negative value of imply that aspirin destabilizes the HSA structure
due to its interaction with –CO and –NH2 groups of amino acids (non-specific
interactions) in the low aspirin concentration region. The interaction of aspirin with
HSA is strong as indicated by big equilibrium association constants. |
