Summary: | To efficiently combat the negative consequences of the utilization of pesticides and hazardous substances with biomolecules, it is crucial to comprehend the features of the corresponding compounds. In this study, interactions between cypermethrin (CYP) and HSA at neutral and acidic pH were investigated using a set of spectroscopic and computational tools, such as UV/VIS's absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. Furthermore, the effect of CYP on the HSA thermal stability was investigated. The increase in the CYP concentration at acidic and neutral pH resulted in static HSA fluorescence quenching. In the interaction between HSA and CYP at both pH, increasing the temperature led to a decrease in the Stern-Volmer quenching constant and the binding constant. We also revealed that with increasing CYP concentration, the melting temperature of HSA increases at both pH values. |
