Abstract

The interaction of aflatoxin B1 with a number of biologically important substances has been investigated by spectrophotometric and fluorimetric techniques. The ultra-violet absorption of tryptophan, adenosine, RNA and DNA were altered by the addition of aflatoxin B1. Some amino-acids, purine and pyrimidine derivatives, bovine-serum albumin and DNA quenched the fluorescence of aflatoxin B1. Fluorescence polarization data suggested that the interaction of aflatoxin B1 with bovine-serum albumin was stronger than that with DNA.
