Insights into interaction of triazine herbicides with three kinds of different alkyl groups (simetryne, ametryn and terbutryn) with human serum albumin via multi-spectral analysis
Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology(2024)
摘要
In this study, the interaction of triazine herbicides with three kinds of different alkyl groups (simetryne, ametryn and terbutryn) with human serum albumin (HSA) are investigated through UV–vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The mechanisms on the fluorescence quenching of HSA initiated by triazine herbicides are obtained using Stern-Volmer, Lineweaver-Burk and Double logarithm equations. The quenching rate constant (Kq), Stern-Volmer quenching constant (Ksv), binding constant (KA), thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change (∆H), entropy change (∆S) and Gibbs free energy (∆G) and number of binding site (n) are calculated and compared. The variations in the microenvironment of amino acid residues are studied by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. The binding sites and subdomains are identified using warfarin and ibuprofen as site probes. The conformational changes of HSA are measured using CD spectra. The results reveal that the triazine herbicides with different alkyl groups can interact with HSA by static quenching. The combination of the three herbicides and HSA are equally proportional, and the binding processes are spontaneous. Hydrophobic interaction forces play important roles in simetryne-HSA and ametryn-HSA, while the interaction of terbutryn-HSA is Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. Moreover, the three herbicides can bind to HSA at site I (sub-domain IIA) more than site II (subdomain IIIA), and combine with tryptophan (Trp) more easily than tyrosine (Tyr) residues, respectively. By comparison, the order of interaction strength is terbutryn-HSA > ametryn-HSA > simetryne-HSA. Terbutryn can destroy the secondary structure of HSA more than simetryne and ametryn, and the potential toxicity of terbutryn is higher. It is expected that the interactions of triazine herbicides with HSA via multi-spectral analysis can offer some valuable information for studying the toxicity and the harm of triazine herbicides on human health at molecular level in life science.
