Abstract
This work has evaluated the interactions of HSA and typical PBDEs (BDE47, BDE99, BDE100, BDE153 and BDE209) at molecular level by modelling. Apart from the BDE209, PBDEs with higher molecular weight show higher binding energy with the residues of HSA. The BDE209 without H atoms has the lowest binding energy (-ΔGbinding: 4.30 cal mol−1) than other PBDEs (-ΔGbinding: 7.93–8.42 cal mol−1). The BDE99 shows a higher binding energy than its isomer (BDE100). On the other hand, the lgKow-depth plotting figure shows that a higher Kow value (hydrophobicity) of PBDEs is accompanied by a deeper binding site within the central channel of HSA. This work may provide a theoretical method to assess the transport and distribution of PBDEs in human body.
