Use of non-covalent labeling in illustrating ligand binding to human serum albumin via affinity capillary electrophoresis with near-infrared laser induced fluorescence detection.
This paper demonstrates the use of a near-infrared (NIR) dye as a non-covalent label for human serum albumin (HSA). The dye is a water soluble, heptamethine cyanine dye. The utility of the dye as a tracer illustrating the binding of various drugs to HSA is demonstrated via affinity capillary electrophoresis with near-infrared laser-induced fluorescence detection (ACE-NIR-LIF). Additionally, the factors affecting the separation of relevant species were investigated. The change in quantum yield of the dye upon complexation with HSA was calculated. Spectrophotometric measurements were conducted to study the stoichiometry of the dye albumin complex.
