摘要: The binding of Tb3+ to chicken apoovotransferrin was studied by monitoring the fluorescent intensity of Tb3+ at 549 nm. The conditional equilibrium constants for the complexation of Tb3+ by chicken apoovotransferrin in 0.1 mol/L hepes, at pH 7.4 and room temperature were measured. The successive macroscopic binding constants are lgK1=9.08±0.12 and lgK2=7.36±0.22. The molar fluorescence enhancement of Tb3+-apoovotransferrin complex is (2.06±0.14)×104 mol-1·L. The fluorescence quenching experiment and the titration of N-terminal monoferric ovotransferrin showed that Tb3+ has a preference for being bound to the N-terminal binding site of apoovotransferrin.
