| Abstract | The influence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the formation of J-aggregates of meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (TPPS4) in aqueous acid solution (pH 1.3) has been investigated by means of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. TPPS4 concentration was kept constant at 2 μM while BSA concentration was varied to get TPPS4 : BSA molar ratios from 1 : 0.005 to 1 : 20. In the presence of protein at all used concentrations the intensity of J-aggregates absorption band was higher than that in the pure solution. Spectral changes indicated that the dynamic equilibrium of the aggregated TPPS4 species was highly dependent on the molar ratio between TPPS4 and BSA. Small relative concentrations of BSA (TPPS4 : BSA, 1 : 0.005–1 : 0.1) had a stimulating effect on formation of J-aggregates. Several fractions of J-aggregates located in protein and aqueous moieties were detected in mixed solutions at intermediate BSA concentrations (TPPS4 : BSA, 1 : 0.5–1 : 8), when the absorbance intensity of the J-aggregates was the highest. At the highest used BSA concentrations (TPPS4 : BSA, 1 : 10–1 : 20) the spectral properties of the remaining J-aggregates were similar to those typical for pure porphyrin solution. Additionally, the split of the Soret band into two with peaks at 440 nm and 423 nm was followed by the simultaneous appearance of Q bands and reflected the formation of TPPS4–BSA complexes including both protonated and deprotonated TPPS4 forms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
