Experiments performed with bovine serum albumin (BSA) had its modified derivatives over a wide pH range, have shown the lack of correlation between the aggregation and absorbancy increase effects produced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The aggregation effect was found to be governed mainly by the over- all charge on BSA or its derivatives with the exception of iodinated BSA which showed marked resistance to aggregation over the entire pH range. The influence of over-all protein charge on the aggregation effect produced by UV irradiation was further confirmed by studies with BSA-detergent complexes. Prior addition of Zephiran enhanced, sodium dodecyl sulfate and caprylate inaibited, and Tween 80 was without effect with reward to aggregate formation with UV light. Modification of tyrosyl side chains, e.g., iodinated or diazotized BSA, changed the UV absorbancy increase pattern of BSA in the acidic pH range at wavelengths <3000 A. Modification of the amino group, e.g., acetylated or guanldylated BSA, changed the absorbancy increase pattern of BSA in the alkaline range usually at wavelengths above 3000 A. Methylation of carboxyl groups (MeBSA) produced little or no change in the UV absorbancy increase spectra. Changes in the absorbancy increase may be attributed either to modification of the tyrosyl side chains or to changes in hydrogen bonding between amino and tyrosyl groups. (auth)
