A notable hysteretic effect has been observed in the interaction of Co(II) with human serum albumin (HSA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) using UV–Visible spectrometry at physiological pH (7.43), which shows that the binding between Co(II) and HSA or BSA may induce a slow transition of HSA or BSA from the conformation of weaker affinity for Co(II) to one of stronger affinity (A–B transition). The rate constants and activation parameters of this transition were measured and are discussed. It is inferred that such a conformation transition may occur due to the binding of the first Co(II) ion with the peptide segment of N-terminal residues 1–3, which results in a ‘hinged movement’ of the relatively hydrophobic ‘valley’ in the IA subdomain. This process leads to a slow conformational transition in the albumins, makes the other binding sites of Co(II) exposed, and shows a positive cooperativity effect. The LMCT (ligand-to-metal charge transition) bands of the Co(II)–HSA and Co(II)–BSA systems also show a kind of hypochromic effect featuring a dipole–dipole interaction mechanism. This phenomenon is rarely reported.
