Interaction of the Testosterone with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA): UV-Visible Absorption Spectroscopy

On January 2018, Husain Alsamamra, Sawsan Abu Sharkh, Saker Darwish, Musa Abu Teir published a new study in Journal of Chemical, Biological and Physical Sciences Section B; Vol. 8, No. 1 ; 157-167. titled "Interaction of the Testosterone with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA): UV-Visible Absorption Spectroscopy"

The article aimed to investigate the molecular interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin and Testosterone by using two different spectroscopic techniques namely;. UV-absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy.

The results of this study demonstrated that the binding of Testosterone to BSA has been investigated by UV-absorption spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. From the UV and Fluorescence Investigations we determined values for the binding constant and the quenching constant. The results indicate that the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by Testosterone through static quenching mechanism.
