Function

Albumin (Alb) is water-soluble protein. Serum albumin (SA) is the most abundant blood plasma protein. SA serves as carrier of fatty acids, bilirubin, ions and drugs. For details on human serum albumin see

Investigation on the Site-Selective Binding of Bovine Serum Albumin by Erlotinib Hydrochloride [1]

The binding mode of , a targeted anticancer drug, to was investigated through 1H NMR, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and molecular modeling methods. Each subdomain is marked with a different colour (red for subdomain IA; orange, IB; cyan, IIA; yellow, IIB; green, IIIA; darkmagenta, IIIB). From these methods, the binding parameters, binding site, binding distance, and conformational changes were obtained. Site marker competitive experiments demonstrated that the . The docking modeling agreed with the results of the fluorescence and displacement experiments.
