Bilirubin binding properties of pigeon serum albumin and its comparison with human serum albumin

• Billy Bennett

Binding of bilirubin (BR) to pigeon serum albumin (PgSA) was studied by absorption, fluorescence and CD spectroscopy and outcomes had been in contrast with these obtained with human serum albumin (HSA). PgSA was discovered to be structurally just like HSA as judged by near- and far-UV CD spectra. Nonetheless, PgSA lacks tryptophan. Binding of BR…
