Interaction of antimalarial drugs with hemin
Bioscience Reports, 1983 Hemin (ferriprotoporphyrin IX) is shown to form complexes with the chloroquine class of antimalarial drugs. The Soret band of hemin becomes optically active upon the addition of chiral drugs. Results on the hemin-induced quenching of the fluorescence of chloroquine are consistent with the formation of a 2:1 hemin:drug complex with a formation constant ...

Influence of Cosolvents on the Pressure Stability of Human Serum Albumin
physica status solidi (a), EarlyView.Human serum albumin is able to bind various hydrophobic substances and drugs. To investigate this interaction, the protein structure is analyzed using small‐angle X‐ray scattering under high hydrostatic pressure. The resulting radius of gyration (see picture) indicates that hydrophobic substances influence the pressure stability of HSA differently ...
