| Popis: | This work demonstrates binding interactions of two cationic gemini surfactants, 12-4-12,2Br− and 12-8-12,2Br− with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-conjugated bovine serum albumin (BSA) presenting binding isotherms from specific binding to saturation binding regions of surfactants. The binding isotherm has been successfully constructed using Forster's resonance energy transfer (FRET) and nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET) parameters calculated based on fluorescence quenching of donor, tryptophan (Trp) residue by acceptor, AuNP. Energy transfer efficiency (ET) changes due to alteration in the donor-acceptor distance when surfactants interact with bioconjugates. A solid reverse relationship between α-helix and β-turn contents of BSA-AuNPs-conjugates is noted while interacting with surfactants. 12-8-12,2Br− shows stronger binding interactions with BSA-bioconjugates than 12-4-12,2Br−. The effect of bioconjugation on secondary/tertiary structures of BSA in the absence and presence of a surfactant is studied through circular dichroism, fluorescence, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic measurements. Motional restrictions imposed by AuNPs on Trp residues of folded and unfolded BSA have been investigated using red edge emission shift (REES) measurements. Finally, the molecular docking results present the modes of interactions of 12-4-12,2Br− and 12-8-12,2Br−, and Au-nanoclusters (Au92) with BSA. An approach to describe the binding isotherms of surfactants using AuNPs-bioconjugates as optical-based molecular ruler and possible effects of AuNPs on microenvironment and conformations of the protein is presented. |
