Study of the Binding of Cuminaldehyde with Bovine Serum Albumin by Spectroscopic and Molecular Modeling Methods

Figure 1

(a) UV–Vis spectrum of 100 μM cuminaldehyde in a 20 mM tris buffer of pH 7.4 at 25°C. (b) Difference UV–Vis spectra of BSA (3 μM) without and with cuminaldehyde in a 20 mM tris buffer of pH 7.4 at 25°C. The contribution of cuminaldehyde was subtracted from the spectra of complexes to obtain the difference spectrum.
