Abstract:
In this paper, the effect of Hepes buffers and pH on Fe(Ⅲ)-H
2O
2-NO
2-system induced bovine serum albumin(BSA) nitration was studied by using spectrophotometry.The result showed that BSA could be nitrated by EDTA-Fe(Ⅲ) and Ferric Citrate in Hepes buffers.In EDTA-Fe(Ⅲ)-H
2O
2-NO
2-system, protein nitration was increased with the increase in pH, concentration of NaNO2 was decreased with the increase in pH, the results showed that in EDTA-Fe(Ⅲ)-H
2O
2-NO
2-system, alkaline was conducive to the conduct of protein nitration.While in Ferric Citrate-H
2O
2-NO
2-system, protein nitration was decreased with the increase in pH, concentration of NaNO
2 was increased with the increase in pH, the results showed that in Ferric Citrate-H
2O
2-NO
2-system, acid was conducive to the conduct of protein nitration.In addition, further study indicated that protein nitration induced by EDTA-Fe(III)-H
2O
2-NO2-was stronger than that of Ferric Citrate-H
2O
2-NO
2-.
