Molecular docking and reaction kinetic studies of chrysin binding to serum albumin
Abstract:
The binding properties of chrysin with serum albumin (SA) were investigated under physiological conditions by calorimetry, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and molecular modeling. Based on the thermodynamic data, molar reaction enthalpy, reaction order (n) and the rate constant (k) were calculated. The results of CD spectroscopy showed that chrysin could bind to SA and the conformation of SA did not have any high-ordered structural change. Computational mapping revealed chrysin binding to the subdomain IB in SA. The chrysin-serum albumin complex was stabilized by hydrophobic force and hydrogen bonding and the reaction was a spontaneous process.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
