Аннотация:The fl uorescence characteristics of eosin in solutions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied at various pH. The quenching of eosin fl uorescence with increasing concentration was found to result from two competing processes: binding of BSA molecules with eosin molecules and the formation of associated species of the dye. The extent of association as well as the structural and thermodynamic parameters of eosin were determined in buffer and BSA solutions at different pH. Variation of the buffer solution pH led to change of these characteristics. The effect of the formation of associated species of eosin in BSA solutions on the dynamic quenching constant of eosin fl uorescence was examined. The formation of associated species of eosin was shown to lead to a decrease in the dynamic quenching constant of this dye, which is proportional to the pH of the solution.
