Oxovanadium(IV)-salen complexes bind with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and ovalbumin (OVA) strongly with binding constant in the range 10(4)-10(7) M-1 at physiological pH (7.4) confirmed using UV-visible absorption, fluorescence spectral and circular dichroism (CD) study. CD results show that the binding of oxovanadium(IV) complexes induces the conformational change with the loss of alpha-helicity in the proteins. Docking studies indicate that mode of binding of oxovanadium(IV)-salen complexes with proteins is hydrophobic in nature.
