title: [Effect of benzodiazepines on the fluorescence of tryptophan in human serum albumin, hemoglobin and erythrocyte ghosts].
abstract: The binding of chlorodiazepoxide, demethyl-chlorodiazepoxide, demoxepam, medazepam, diazepam and oxazepam was investigated on human serum albumin (HSA), ghosts and hemoglobin by quenching the fluorescence of tryptophan. The tryptophan fluorescence is quenched in a dose-dependent manner by these benzodiazepines with the exception of demoxepan, diazepam and oxazepam on hemoglobin. The calculated binding constants are in the range of 10(4)1 . M-1. It is concluded from the quenching of tryptophan-fluorescence that benzodiazepines are bound in a tryptophan containing area of the proteins.
