Abstract

In this study, impact of different ammonium based ionic liquids on the structure of Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by different spectroscopic methods like, UV-vis, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. Fluorescence results reveal that the ILs has no significant impact on the environment of tryptophan residues. From the Far-UV CD results, it was observed that these ILs increase the α-helicity of the protein, BSA. Near-UV CD study confirms the fluorescence results whereas it shows the alteration of tertiary structure of BSA especially around disulphide bonds.
