The present study was designed to investigate the influence of two indispensable and two dispensable amino acids, including methionine, histidine, cysteine and proline, on the binding interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and an antibiotic agent lomefloxacin (LMF). The fluorescence quenching experiments showed that the intrinsic emission of HSA was considerably quenched following binding to LMF in all the systems. Furthermore, in all the interactions the maximum wavelength of HSA was slightly decreased. The spectral changes observed in the binding systems we e all attributed to the alteration of the micro-environment around the tryptophan and tyrosine residues of HSA. The K-b values o HSA-LMF complex in the absence and presence of histidine, methionine, cysteine and proline have been obtained 6.02 x 10(5), 4.83 x 10(5), 5.05 x 10(5), 4.94 x 10(5) and 6.20 x 10(5) M-1 respectively. The various kind of Kb values showed the different interaction behavior between HSA and LMF in the absence and presence of amino acids mentioned. The data gathered by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies revealed that although all the binding interactions were exothermic, the amount of the heat exchanged during the HSA-LMF interaction increased in the presence of the amino acids especially cysteine. In the present study, the binding kinetics and affinity of LMF to HSA in the absence and presence of the amino acids were studies using stopped-flow circular dichroism and ITC techniques respectively. The results of these two techniques revealed that the bindig affinity and binding rate of the LMF-HSA interaction decreased in the presence of histidine, methionine and cysteine. In the presence of proline, the binding process of LMF-HSA was sped up and the affinity of LMF to HSA slightly increased. All the experimental results were then supported by the data collected from molecular modeling studies using density functional theory.
