The mutual interaction of asiatic acid(AA) with bovine serum albumin(BSA) was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy. The results revealed that asiatic acid(AA) caused the fluorescence quenching of bovine serum albumin(BSA) through a static quenching procedure. The Stern-Volmer quenching constant were calculated at different temperature. The binding site, apparent binding constant and corresponding thermodynamic parameters Go, Ho, So were calculated and theHydrogen bond andVan derWaals force play an important role in stabilizing the complex. Besides, the effect of Zn2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Mn2+and Co2+ on the binding constants between asiatic acid(AA) and bovine serumalbumin(BSA) were studied.
