Effect of Common Buffers and Heterocyclic Ligands on the Binding of Cu(II) at the Multimetal Binding Site in Human Serum Albumin

Visible-range circular dichroism titrations were used to study Cu(II) binding properties of Multimetal Binding Site (MBS) of Human Serum Albumin (HSA). The formation of ternary MBS-Cu(II)-Buffer complexes at pH 7.4 was positively verified for sodium phosphate, Tris, and Hepes, the three most common...
