Abstract
The interactions of bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC) as a bioactive constituent of turmeric and diacetylbisdemethoxycurcumin (DABC) as a novel synthetic derivative of curcumin with human serum albumin (HSA) have been investigated by fluorescence and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The binding parameters, including the number of substantive binding sites and the binding constants, have been estimated from the analysis of fluorescence measurements. The estimated binding parameters indicated that BDMC has higher affinity than DABC to bind HSA, suggesting the essential role of the phenolic OH groups of BDMC, which are acetylated in DABC. It was found that the binding site for BDMC and DABC is located in the vicinity of Trp-214 in subdomain IIA, which is the same as binding site for curcumin (CUR). The minor changes on the far-UV circular dichroism spectra resulted in partial changes in the calculated secondary structure contents of HSA. The negligible alteration in the secondary structure of HSA indicated that ligand-induced conformational changes are localized in the binding site and do not involve considerable changes in the protein folding. The visible CD spectra indicated that the optical activity observed during the ligand binding is due to induced-protein chirality.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
