A comparative study of interaction of tetracycline with several proteins using time resolved anisotropy, phosphorescence, docking and FRET.

ABSTRACT: A comparative study of the interaction of an antibiotic Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) with two albumins, Human serum albumin (HSA) and Bovine serum albumin (BSA) along with Escherichia Coli Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) has been presented exploiting the enhanced emission and anisotropy of the bound drug. The association constant at 298 K is found to be two orders of magnitude lower in BSA/HSA compared to that in AP with number of binding site being one in each case. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and molecular docking studies have been employed for the systems containing HSA and BSA to find out the particular tryptophan (Trp) residue and the other residues in the proteins involved in the binding process. Rotational correlation time (θc) of the bound TC obtained from time resol
