The study of fluorescence quenching of human serum albumin (H.S.A.) and bovine serum albumin (B.S.A.) by serpentine allows the deduction of the average constant of complex formation, and the values of the thermodynamic parameters .DELTA.Go, .DELTA.Ho, and .DELTA.So, at various temperatures and molarities of S.A. An explanation of the binding process is proposed, which involves hydrogen bonding electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic bonds.
