Evidence that Chemical Chaperone 4-Phenylbutyric Acid Binds to Human Serum Albumin at Fatty Acid Binding Sites

Abstract: Endoplasmic reticulum stress elicits unfolded protein response to counteract the accumulating unfolded protein load inside a cell. The chemical chaperone, 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) is a FDA approved drug that alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress by assisting protein folding. It is found efficacious to augment pathological conditions like type 2 diabetes, obesity and neurodegeneration. This study explores the binding nature of 4-PBA with human serum albumin (HSA) through spectroscopic and molecular dynami… Show more

“…The per cent α‐helixes and β‐sheets for compound 1 and compound 2 were calculated using K 2 D 2 software and are summarized in Table . These results suggest that compound 1 maintains the secondary structure of BSA, whereas a slight change in the secondary structure of BSA was observed during binding to compound 2 …”
