The association equilibria for complex formation between serum albumin (bovine, rat) and the optical isomers of methamphetamine (MAMP) was determined using an ultrafiltration method. It was found that serum albumin/d-MAMP and serum albumin/l-MAMP complexes had distinctly different Scatchard plots with bovine and rat albumin. The binding parameters of each association equilibrium were estimated from the Scatchard plots by Rosenthal's graphic method. This distinguished two kinds of specific binding sites in terms of the association equilibrium between bovine serum albumin and d-MAMP, and one binding site for rat serum albumin and d-MAMP. One specific binding site was found between serum albumin and l-MAMP in both bovine and rat. Molar ellipticities, [θ], of peaks were decreased in the CD spectra of the complexes formed between bovine serum albumin and d-MAMP or l-MAMP when compared with the CD spectrum of bovine serum albumin alone. However, no difference in [θ] was found between the CD spectra of the enantiomers of MAMP in the measured wavelength range. The non-specific binding site was distinct from the specific binding site and resulting from altered tertiary structure of the albumin molecule. Chirality 10:742-746, 1998. © 1998 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
