The thermodynamic of the binding of nickel (II) tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine anion [Ni(tspc)4–], to human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated in 5 mM aqueous phosphate buffer of pH 7.40 at 25°C using optical absorption spectroscopy. The results show that [Ni(tspc)4–] does not have any affinity for aggregation due to increasing of salt concentration and exists as monomers even in homogeneous aqueous solutions of high ionic strengths (more than 2 M NaCl). The binding constant (K) was obtained by analysis of optical absorption spectra of mentioned complex at various HSA concentrations using SQUAD software. The value ofKwas estimated to be 4.89×105±0.03 (M–1) at 25°C. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by van’t Hoff equation. The enthalpy and entropy changes were 28.08 kJ/mol and 203.09 J/(mol?·?K) at 25°C, respectively. The results indicate that the binding is mainly entropy driven and the enthalpy is unfavorable for it, the hydrophobic forces thus playing a major role in the binding process.
