2 ResultsandDiscussion
2.1 BindinginteractionbetweenlysozymeandHA
  TheexperimentsoftheUV-visibleabsorptionspectroscopyandthefluorescencespectroscopywerecarried
outtostudytheinteractionbetweenlysozymeandHA.
Intheregionof210— 310nm, lysozymeandHAhavetwocharacteristicabsorptionbandswithabsorption
maximaat219nmand280nm, respectively(Fig.2).AfteradditionofdiferentconcentrationofHAtoaseries
oflysozymeaqueoussolution, notablechangesintheabsorptionspectrumoflysozymewereobserved.Theab-
sorptionpeaksat210nmshiftedtolongerwavelength, andtheintensitiesdecreasedgreatly, whiletheotherab-
sorptionpeaksat280nmshowednoobviouschanges.WhentheconcentrationofHAreached40μM, theab-
sorptionpeakat219nmshiftedto233 nm, andtheintensitydecreasedby72%(Fig.2).Accordingtothepre-
viousreports[ 7] , theabsorptionbandat280nmcanbeatributedtotheamidicacidresiduesinlysozyme, and
theabsorptionbandat219nmdependsstronglyontheconformationthatlysozymeadopts, e.g.thehelixoflyso-
zyme.Therefore, theseresultssuggestthatHAcanbindontolysozyme, andthisbindinginteractioncausesthe
conformationoflysozymetochangeremarkably.
Furthermore, thecontroledexperimentsshowthatDMSOpresentintheabove-mentionedsolutionsdidnot
afecttheabsorptionspectrumoflysozyme, whichisconsistentwelwiththereference[ 8] .

HAcanquenchthefluorescenceoflysozymeefectively.Fig.4givestheStern-Volmerplotsforthefluorescence

thefluorescencequenchingoriginatedfromthecomplexformationbetweenfluorophoreandquencher.Thecon-
clusionisconsistentwiththeresultsofUV-visibleabsorptionspectroscopy.
2.2 Fluorescencequenchingmechanism
Fluorescenceemissionsofproteinsmainlyoriginatefromtryptophanresiduesandtyrosineresidues, andtheir
emissionbandsoverlapcloselyinthenormalfluorescencespectrum, thus, toknowthefluorescencequenching
objectofHAinthisfluorescencequenchingprocess, thesynchronousfluorescenceexperimentswerecarriedout.
Insynchronousfluorescencespectrum, whenthewavelengthinterval(Δλ)betweentheexcitationandemission
wavelengths(λexandλem)issettobe20nm, theobtainedemissionpeakcanbeascribedtotyrosineresidues.
Incontrast, whenthevalueofΔλis80nm, theobtainedemisionpeakcanbeatributedtotryptophanresi-
dues[ 11] .
Fig.5 showsthesynchronousfluorescencespectraoflysozymeinthepresenceofvariedconcentrationsofHA
withΔλ=20nm(A)or80nm(B).IntheabsenceofHA, theemissionmaximumoftyrosineresidueslocates
at314nm, whilethatoftryptophanresiduesisat349nm.UponadditionofHA, boththeemissionbandsde-
creasedmarkedlyinintensity, andthepeakpositionsredshiftedslightly.Itiswelknownthattheemissionmax-
imaoftyrosineresiduesortryptophanresiduesinproteinsdependgreatlyonthemicroenvironmentssurrounding
them.Theredshiftoftheemissionmaximasuggestsachangeofmicroenvironmentfromhydrophobictohydro-
philic, astheresultoftheconformationvariationofproteins.Inourexperimentalconditions, theemissionpeak
oftryptophanresiduesshiftedbyabout6nmuponadditionofHA, from349nmto355nm, veryclosetotheval-
ueinthetryptophanaqueoussolution, indicatingthattheinteractionsbetweenHAandlysozymemadethetrypto-
phanresiduesexposedalmostcompletelytotheaqueousmedium.Thesefindingsareingoodagreementwiththe
remarkablechangesoftheshort-wavelengthabsorptionbandoflysozymeafterbindingbyHA(Fig.2), asthere-
sultofconformationchangeoflysozyme.
BoththenormalandsynchronousfluorescencespectrashowthatthebindingofHAquenchedthefluores-
cenceemissionoflysozymeeficientlythroughformingthecomplexbetweenlysozymeandHA, butthefluores-
cencequenchingmayeitherviaenergytransfermechanismorelectrontransfermechanismorbothofthem, so
furtherexperimentsarenecessary..
Toexaminetheposibilityofenergytransfer, wemeasuredthefluorescencespectraofHAuponadditionof
lysozyme, inwhichtheexcitationwavelengthwassetat286 nm.Itwasfoundthatthefluorescenceintensityof
HAdecreasedwiththeincreaseoftheconcentrationoflysozyme(Fig.6).Thisindicatesthattheenergytransfer
fromtheexcitedlysozymetoHA, ifany, didnotplayanimportantroleintheinteractionsbetweenHAandlyso-
zyme.
Incontrast, thephotoinducedelectrontransferbetweenHAandlysozymeisevident.Fig.7showstheEPR

WhenlysozymewasaddedintothedeoxygenatedaqueoussolutionofHA, theintensityoftheHA-.signal

Theoxidationpotentialsoftryptophanandtyrosineare0.88Vand0.93VvsNHE, respectively[ 13] , and
thereductionpotentialofHAis-0.37VvsNHE[ 14] .Thus, basedontheirabsorptionedges(313nmfortrypto-
phan, 290nmfortyrosine, and640nmforHA)[ 15] , theoxidationpotentialsoftheexcitedtryptophanandtyro-
sineareestimatedtobe-3.08Vand-3.35VvsNHErespectively, andthereductionpotentialoftheexcited
HAis1.57VvsNHE.AccordingtoRehm-Welerequation[ 16] ,
ΔG=Eox(donor)-Ered(acceptor)-E0, 0(excitedstateenergy). (3)
thefreeenergychangeofthephotoinducedelectrontransfer
procescanbeestimated.Whenthephotoinducedelectron
transferoccurredbetweentheexcitedHA andlysozyme,
G(Trp)is-15.9kcal/mol, G(Tyr)is-14.8kcal/mol, re-
spectively.Ontheotherhand, whenthephotoinducedelec-
trontransferoccuredbetweentheexcitedlysozymeandHA,
G(Trp)is-62.5kcal/mol, G(Tyr)is-68.7kcal/mol, re-
spectively.Fromthesevalues, itcanbeknownthatthephoto-
induecdelectrontransferfromtryptophanortyrosinetoHAwil
beathermodynamicfavorableprocessnomaterwhetherHAor

photoinducedelectrontransferbetweenlysozymeandHAagreeverywelwiththefactthattheirfluorescencee-
missionswerequenchedefectivelybyHA(Fig.5).

mainlybyhydrophobicinteractions, andcausethefluorescenceoflysozymetobequenched.Inaddition, Based
