Popis: The reactions of auranofin and three pseudohalide derivatives with bovine serum albumin were explored by ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometry; a detailed molecular description of the resulting adducts is achieved revealing even subtle differences in reactivity within this series of gold(I) complexes. Our study shows that this kind of investigative approach, formerly applied to the interactions of metal-based drugs with small model proteins of MW 10-15 kDa, e.g., cytochrome c and lysozyme, may now be extended with success to far larger proteins such as serum albumin (MW 66 kDa).
