The interaction between salvianic acid A sodium (SAS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated using fluorescence and ultraviolet spectroscopy at different temperatures under imitated physiological conditions. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence of BSA was quenched by SAS through a static quenching procedure. The binding constants of SAS with BSA were 2.03, 1.17 and 0.71 x 10(5) L mol(-1) at 291, 298 and 305 K. respectively. Negative values of Delta G, Delta H, and Delta S indicate that the interaction between SAS and BSA is driven by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. According to Forster non-radiation energy transfer theory, the binding distance between BSA and SAS was calculated to be about 2.92 nm. The effect of SAS on the conformation of BSA was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, the effect of some metal ions Cu2+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Zn2+ on the binding constant between SAS and BSA was examined. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
