Abstract
Fluorescence anisotropy was employed for the investigation of the associati on between AlS4Pc and BSA. The average binding number of AlS4Pc to BSA was calculated and the constants of association reaction occurring in the mediu m of PH 7.0 were shown. The results revealed that the interaction between A lS4Pc and BSA was strong, which implied that AlS4Pc may be stored and trans ferred by serum albumin. The merits of the method used were also pointed ou t.
