The mechanism of interaction of two drugs viz., amoxicillin and cloxacillin with bovine serum albumin has been investigated using fluorescence absorption and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The quenching mechanism of fluorescence of bovine serum albumin by amoxicillin and cloxacillin was discussed. The binding sites number n and apparent binding constant Kwere measured by fluorescence quenching method. The thermodynamic parameters obtained from data at different temperatures were calculated. The distance r between donor (bovine serum albumin) and acceptor (amoxicillin and cloxacillin) was obtained according to Forster theory of non-radiative energy transfer. The effect of common ions on binding constant was also investigated. The results of synchronous fluorescence spectra, UV-vis absorption spectra and circular dichroism of BSA in presence of amoxicillin and cloxacillin show that the conformation of bovine serum albumin changed

Binding of four cephalosporins(cefaclor, cefpiramide, ceftazidime, ceforanide) to bovine serum albumin was studied. Difference spectrophotometry was employed to evaluate the nature and the degree of association of cephalosporin-albumin complex. 2-(4'-hydroxybenzen azo) benzoic acid was used as the uv spectrophotometric probe for measuring the binding of cephalosporins to bovine serum albumin. Competitive bindings between cephalosporins and probe were observed. For the binding of cephalosporins to bovine serum albumin, three binding sites were identified. The binding constants of cefaclor, ceforanide, ceftazidime and cefpiramide were $12.57\;{\times}\;10^{-2}M^{-1}$, $6.49\;{\times}\;10^{-2}M^{-1}$, $4.70\;{\times}\;10^{-2}M^{-1}$ and $6.20\;{\times}\;10^{-2}M^{-1}$ respectively.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possibility of sex preselection by gradients methods using bovine serum albumin in rabbits. Artificial insemination with separated sperm was performed, after highly motile sperm were separated by different methods using 6%, 10% and 20% bovine serum albumin. Various characteristics of separated sperm, and the conception rate and secondary sex ratio at artificial insemination with sperm separated by different methods were compared. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The conception rate of sperm separated by bovine serum albumin gradients was higher than th at of control sperm. But secondary sex ratio was not altered by this methods. 2. The sperm separated by bovine serum albumin gradients showed significantly high value in motility, percent of normal sperm and progressive motility as compared with control sperm and revealed the highest sperm recovery when separated with 6% bovine serum albumin. 3. The sperm motility, percent of normal sperm and progressive motility of the highly motile sperm frozen after being separated from raw semen with bovine serum albumin, showed significantly high value than those of control sperm.

As a fundamental study to increase the reproductive efficiency in cattle, highly motile sperm were separated and collected from raw semen, extended semen and frozen semen by different methods using various concentrations of bovine serum albumin or Tyrode's solution. Various characteristics and light microscopic and electron-microscopic morphology of sperm separated by different methods were compared. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The sperm separated from raw semen using bovine serum albumin showed significantly high value in motility, motile sperm count, percent of normal sperm and progressive motility, as compared with control sperm and revealed the highest sperm recovery rate when separated with 6% bovine serum albumin. 2. The sperm motility, percent of normal sperm and progressive motility of the highly motile sperm frozen after being separated from raw semen with bovine serum albumin, showed significantly high value than those of a control sperm and especially found the highest value when separated with 20% bovine serum albumin. 3. Light-microscopic percent of abnormality was significantly low in the prefrozen and postfrozen highly motile sperm separated with bovine serum albumin, as compared with control sperm. 4. Electron-microscopic finding of the highly motile sperm separated with bovine serum albumin showed low percent of deformity in the dilatation and vesiculation of cell membrane, in dilatation and density loss of acrosome than in those of control sperm. 5. It was impossible to separate the highly motile sperm from frozen semen with bovine serum albumin, but it was possible with Tyrode's solution. 6. Recovery rate of highly motile sperm from raw semen extended semen and frozen semen was the highest when the sperm pellet stood in Tyrde's solution for 80 minutes. 7. The highly motile sperm separated from raw semen, extended semen and frozen semen with Tyrode's solution showed significantly high value in motility, progressive motility and percent of normal sperm, as compared with control sperm. 8. Highly motile sperm, when separated from raw semen, extended semen and frozen semen with Tyrode's solution, showed significantly low percent of microscopic abnormality as compared with control sperm.

The association of silybin with ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin and its influence on silybin's binding with bovine serum albumin are reported. The stoichiometry, binding constant, and the structure of silybin-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin inclusion complex are reported. The titrations of silybin with bovine serum albumin in the absence and presence of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin are carried out and the differences in binding strengths are discussed. Molecular modeling is used to optimize the sites and mode of binding of silybin with bovine serum albumin. F$\ddot{o}$rster resonance energy transfer is calculated and the proximity of interacting molecules is reported in the presence and absence of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin.

The displacement of protein bound sulfonamides (sulfisoxazole, sulfamethoxazole, sulfisomidine) by furosemide was investigated in bovine serum albumin by equilibrium dialysis method. Furosemide $(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$ in bovine serum albumin ($7.24{\times}10^{-5}$, $1.45{\times}10^{-4}$, $2.89{\times}10^{-4}M$). Sulfisoxa캐1e and furosemide were bound reversibly to bovine serum albumin and competitive for the same binding sites when administered together. Consequently, dosage regimen of sulfisoxazole should be adjusted carefully when sulfisoxazole is administered along with furosemide.

The binding properties of three ginsenosides, Rb$_{1}$, Rc and Re, to bovine and human serum albumins have been examined by fluorescence probe technique. 1-anilinonphathalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) was used as the fluorescence probe. Protopanaxatriol glycoside, Re, did not quench the fluorscence of ANS to the bovine serum albumin. Competitive bindings between protopanaxadiol glycosides, Rb$_{1}$ and Rc are both 3.3 . The binding constants for Rb$_{1}$ and Rc with bovine serum albumin were 1.91 * 10$_{4}$M$_{-1}$ AND 1.04 * 10$^{[-994]}$ M$^{-1}$ , respectively. The ginsenosides, Rb$_{1}$, Rc and Re did not quench the fluorescence of ANS bound to human serum albumin.

Binding of sulfaethidole to bovine serum albumin was studied by equilibrium dialysis, fluorescence probe technique, uv difference spectrophotometry and circular dichroism. Equilibrium dialysis method enabled us to estimate the total number of drug binding sites of albumin molecule. For sulfaethidole, albumin had 6 primary and 40 secondary binding sites. The primary and secondary binding constants were 0.9 * 10/sup 5/ M/sup -1/ and 0.2 * 10/sup 6/ M/sup -1/, respectivitely. 1-Anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) and 2-(4-hydroxylbenzeneazo)- benzoic acid (HBAB) were used as the fluorescence probe and the uv spectrophotometric probe, respectively. In fluorescence probe technique, results indicated that the number of higher affinity drug binding site of albumin was 1 and the number of lower affinity drug binding sites of albumin was 3, and the primary and secondary drug binding constants for bovine serum albumin were 2.15 * 10/sup 5/M/sup -1/ and 1.04 * 10/sup 5/ M/sup -1/, respectively. In uv difference spectrophotometry, binding sites were 3 and binding constant was 1.88 * 10/sup 5/M/sup -1/. The above spectrophotometry, binding sites were 3 and binding constant was 1.88 * 10/sup 5/M/sup -1/. The above results suggest that several different methods should be used in ompensation for insufficient information about drug binding to albumin molecule given by only one method.
