Abstract

Urea is a chemical effect on the conformation of bovine serum albumin, causing a partial unfolding of the protein globule its exit to the surface of hydrophobic amino acids. Changing the pH of the solution in which the protein also affects the state of the protein, so there are multiple conformational states in which urea as a chemical effect on the conformation of bovine serum albumin, causing a partial unfolding of the protein globule of its exit to the surface of hydrophobic amino acids. Changing the pH of the solution in which the protein also affects the state of the protein, so there are multiple conformational states into which the serum albumin. The objective of our research was to study the effect of different protein concentrations and pH on the conformation of serum albumin. Very sensitive method for studying protein conformation are their own methods and probe fluorescence. The dependence of the effect of various factors on the fluorescence can be with a certain degree of probability suggest conformational transitions in proteins.
