Abstract excerpt
Human alpha1-acid glycoprotein displays genetic polymorphism. Different drug binding properties of the two main genetic products (F1-S and A variants) have been demonstrated. In search for specific circular dichroism (CD) probes, dicumarol and acridine orange were found to specifically bind to the F1-S and A variants, respectively. Dicumarol binding to the F1-S variant produced induced Cotton effects originating...
