Abstract excerpt
Electrostatic interactions have been proposed as a potentially important force for anesthetics and protein binding but have not yet been tested directly. In the present study, we used wild-type human serum albumin (HSA) and specific site-directed mutants as a native protein model to investigate the role of electrostatic interactions in halothane binding. Structural geometry analysis of the HSA-halothane complex...
