Abstract

The interaction between bovine hemoglobin (BHb) and phosphomolybdate acid (PMo 12) was investigated by UV/vis absorption, IR, circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence, resonance light scattering spectra, synchronous fluorescence, and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra techniques under physiological pH 7.40. PMo 12 effectively quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of BHb via static quenching. The process of binding PMo 12 on BHb was a spontaneous molecular interaction procedure. The thermodynamic parameters, Δ H° and Δ S° were estimated to be 28.69 K J mol −1, 158.20 J mol −1 K −1 according to the van’ Hoff equation. This indicates that hydrophobic interaction played a major role in stabilizing the PMo 12–BHb complex. The effect of PMo 12 on the conformation of BHb was analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, IR and CD spectra.
