Abstract

Heteropolyoxometalate complexes have been widely applied in many fields. In this paper, the interaction between a series of novel rare earth molybdotungstosilicate heteropolyoxometalates, K10H3[Ln(SiMo6W5O39)2]·xH2O (abbr. LnW5, Ln = Pr (x = 30), Gd (x = 29), Dy (x = 28), and Yb (x = 31)), and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by spectroscopic approach under the physiological conditions. In the mechanism discussion, it was proved that the fluorescence quenching of BSA by LnW5 is a result of the formation of LnW5–BSA complex. Fluorescence quenching constants were determined using the Stern–Volmer equation to provide a measure of the binding affinity between LnW5 and BSA. The binding affinity ranked in the order GdW5 > DyW5 > PrW5 > YbW5. The results of thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at different temperatures indicate that van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds play a major role for LnW5–BSA association. Furthermore, the distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (LnW5) was obtained according to fluorescence resonance energy transfer.
