Each technique isbased on measurements of a different property of the biochemical system, and then the results allow acritical discussion about the suitability of each approach to estimate the drug-protein binding parameters.The strongest interaction step is properly evaluated by the three assayed approaches being the derivedbinding constants strongly consistent: from 4 × 104to 7 × 104for HSA and from 0.8 × 105to 1.2 × 105forBSA. Binding enthalpy variations also show consistent results: −5.4 and −5.6 Kcal/mol for HSA and −4.3and −3.7 Kcal/mol for BSA, as measured by ITC and FS, respectively. Further high order interaction eventsfor both albumins are detected only by FA/CE.8 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier B.V., 2017http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esAnticoagulants (Medicina)Electroforesi capil·larAnticoagulants (Medicine)Capillary electrophoresisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6754732019-10-29info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
