11-(Dansylamino) undecanoic acid (DAUDA) is a dansyl-type fluorophore and has widely used as a probe to determine the binding site for human serum albumin (HSA). Here, we reported that structure of HSA-Myristate-DAUDA ternary complex and identified clearly the presence of two DAUDA molecules at fatty acid (FA) binding site 6 and 7 of HSA, thus showing these two sites are weak FA binding sites. This result also show that DAUDA is an appropriate probe for FA site 6 and 7 on HSA as previous studied, but not a good probe of FA binding site 1 that is likely bilirubin binding site on HSA.
11-(Dansylamino)十一酸(DAUDA)是一种丹磺酰基荧光团,已广泛用作测定人血清白蛋白(HSA)结合部位的探针。在这里,我们报道了 HSA-豆蔻酸-DAUDA 三元复合物的结构,并清楚地确定了两个 DAUDA 分子位于 HSA 的脂肪酸(FA)结合位点 6 和 7,从而表明这两个位点是弱 FA 结合位点。该结果还表明,DAUDA 是先前研究中 HSA 上 FA 位点 6 和 7 的合适探针,但不是 HSA 上可能是胆红素结合位点的 FA 结合位点 1 的良好探针。
