Molecular self-assembling and the fluorescence enhancement in morin-Al3+-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-protein system.
Fluorescence enhancement effect of the morin-Al3+-cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-bovine serum albumin (BSA) system is reported here and the interaction mechanism is studied using fluorescence, resonance light scattering (RLS), absorption spectroscopy, Far-UV circular dichroism (CD) spectrum and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurement. It is considered that protein can bind with Al3+, morin and CTAB through self-assembling function with electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction and Vander Waal force etc, and forms a supermolecular association with multilayer structure, in which morin-Al3+ is clamped between BSA and CTAB. In this system, the fluorescence enhancement of morin originates from both intermolecular energy transfer between BSA and morin, and the hydrophobic microenvironment provided by BSA and CTAB. Whereas Al3+ plays a key role for the enhancement of energy transfer efficiency because it provides an efficient channel for the energy transfer between BSA and morin.
