General description
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a globular, α-helical, non-glycosylated protein is produced in the liver. It consists of three homologous, structurally different domains and two sub-domains each. BSA has 17 cysteine residues cross-linked and bound into a single chain.
Application
Bovine Serum Albumin Fraction V, protease-free is used:
- for stabilization of purified enzymes
- for site-blocking reagent in ELISA techniques
- as a protein standard for determination of protein concentration
Biochem/physiol Actions
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) facilitates the transmission of drugs, hormones, and fatty acids. It is the most commonly used blocking agent in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BSA enhances the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) and is also a chief component of cell culture media.
Quality
Contaminants: ≤0.001% heavy metals; proteases not detectable (casein digest)

Allosteric ligands modulate protein activity by altering the energy landscape of conformational space in ligand-protein complexes. Here we investigate how ligand binding to a K+ channel's voltage sensor allosterically modulates opening of its K+-conductive pore. The tarantula venom peptide guangxitoxin-1E
