摘要

A thermodynamic study of the interaction between erbium(III) chloride (Er(3 )) and human serum albumin (HSA) was Studied at pH=7.0, 27 and 37 degrees C in phosphate buffer by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The present study reports the thermodynamic parameters that govern HSA-Er(3 ) interactions. The extended solvation theory was used to reproduce the enthalpies of HSA-Er(3 ) interactions over the whole range of Er(3 ) concentrations. The binding parameters recovered from the new model were attributed to the structural change of HSA and its biological activity. The results obtained indicate that there is a set of two identical binding sites for Er(3 ) ions with negative cooperativity. The enhancement of complex formation by Er(3 ) and concomitant increase in AS Suggest that the metal ion plays a role in increasing the number of hydrophobic contacts. The binding parameters discovered from the extended solvation model indicate that the stability of HSA molecule is increased as a result of its interaction with Er(3 ) ions.
