Substitution at the C-3 Position of Catechins Has an Influence on the Binding Affinities against Serum Albumin

It is known that catechins interact with the tryptophan (Trp) residue at the drug-binding site of serum albumin. In this study, we used catechin derivatives to investigate which position of the catechin structure strongly influences the binding affinity against bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human s...
