Abstract
The interaction between the flavonoid hesperidin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by fluorescence and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy. The results revealed that hesperidin caused the fluorescence quenching of BSA through a static quenching procedure. The hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions play a major role in stabilizing the complex. The binding site number n, and apparent binding constant KA, corresponding thermodynamic parameters ÎGo, ÎHo, ÎSo at different temperatures were calculated. The distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (hesperidin) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The effect of Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, and Mn2+ on the binding constants between hesperidin and BSA were studied. The effect of hesperidin on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy and UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy.
