Albumin is a major carrier of drugs and fatty acids in biological fluids. These protein-drug complexes serve to solubilize, transport these compounds to sites of action, and have been associated with increased half-life for these compounds. The authors are interested in the pH and temperature effect
The Cu(I1) binding site of human serum albumin is located on the N-terminal sequence Asp-Ala-His.l-4 It has been shown that the synthetic tripeptide Asp-Ala-His N-methylamide exhibits an affinity towards Cu(I1) ions even higher than that of serum albumin itself.5 In general, i t has been observed th
