The Effect of Ethanol on Gelation, Nanoscopic, and Macroscopic Properties of Serum Albumin Hydrogels
Serum albumin has shown great potential in the development of new biomaterials for drug delivery systems. Different methods have been proposed to synthesis hydrogels out of serum albumin. It has been observed that ethanol can also act as a trigger for serum albumin denaturation and subsequent gelation. In this study, we focus on basic mechanisms of the albumin gelation process at 37 °C when using the chemical denaturant ethanol. The temperature of 37 °C was chosen to resemble human body temperature, and as under physiological conditions, albumin is in a non-denatured N conformation. As established in our previous publication for the triggers of pH and temperature (and time), we here explore the conformational and physical properties space of albumin hydrogels when they are ethanol-induced and show that the use of ethanol can be advisable for certain gel properties on the nanoscopic and macroscopic scale. To this end, we combine spectroscopic and mechanically (rheology) based data for characterizing the gels. We also study the gels' binding capacities for fatty acids with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, which implies observing the effects of bound stearic acids on gelation. Ethanol reduces the fraction of the strongly bound FAs in bovine serum albumin (BSA) hydrogels up to 52% and induces BSA hydrogels with a maximum storage modulus of 5000 Pa. The loosely bound FAs in ethanol-based hydrogels, besides their relatively weak mechanical properties, introduce interesting new materials for fast drug delivery systems and beyond.
