| Abstract | Curcumin having pharmaceutical application as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic drug necessitates studying interaction of this molecule with native, unfolded and refolded state of human serum albumin (HSA), carrier protein in the blood. We proposed a simultaneous static and dynamic fluorescence quenching mechanism operating in the complex formation between HSA and curcumin. Location of curcumin in the close proximity of tryptophan with respect to tyrosine was further evident from the observation of two fold increase in rate of depletion of SFS intensity for tryptophan with respect to tyrosine in HSA in SFS spectrum. Alteration of SFS spectral peak position, electronic absorbance, fluorescence intensity and lifetime suggested chemical denaturation by urea expectedly unfold the protein molecule in the absence and presence of curcumin. Denatured HSA had similar fluorescence peak position and lifetime to that of L-tryptophan in the polar environment. During unfolding of HSA the spectral change of tyrosine and tryptophan was resolved through synchronous fluorescence spectra at two different Δλ in absence and presence of curcumin. It is found that curcumin remained bound to unfolded state of HSA and facilitated the process by pushing tryptophan moiety to more polar environment in the unfolded state. Dilution of the denatured protein by phosphate buffer reversibly refolded the sub-domain IIA, by also recovering fluorescence lifetime loss, but it was slow in the presence of curcumin. k(q) values indicate that curcumin-HSA complex is formed in the unfolded and refolded states as observed for native state. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
