Steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, combined with molecular modeling computations, have been used to explore the interactions of two therapeutically important flavonoids, fisetin (3,7,3',4'-OH-flavone) and 3-hydroxyflavone (3-HF), with normal human hemoglobin (HbA). Distinctive 'two color' fluorescence signatures and fairly high fluorescence anisotropy (r = 0.12-0.28) of fisetin and 3-HF reveal their specific interactions with HbA. Binding constants estimated from the fluorescence studies were approximate to 4.00 x 10(4) M-1 and 9.83 x 10(3) M-1 for fisetin and 3-HF respectively. Specific interactions with HbA were further confirmed from flavonoid-induced static quenching of the protein tryptophan fluorescence as indicated by: (a) bimolecular quenching constant K-q >> diffusion controlled limit (b) closely matched values of Stern-Volmer quenching constant and binding constant (c) tau(o)/tau approximate to 1 (where tau(o) and tau are the unquenched and quenched tryptophan fluorescence lifetimes respectively). Molecular docking and electrostatic surface potential calculations reveal contrasting binding modes of fisetin and 3-HF with HbA. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
