Inhaled Anesthetics Promote Albumin Dimerization through Reciprocal Exchange of Subdomains

Figure 1

Fluorescence spectra at low HSA concentrations. Tryptophan fluorescence spectra were obtained as described in Materials and Methods. Ascending tracings represent HSA at 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. Inset, plot of the AUC (areas under the curve of entire spectral region) against HSA concentration (𝑟² = 0.997).
