To investigate the protein binding characteristics of ibuprofenlysine, the effects of drub conentration, pH, ionic strength and protein concentration on the binding of drug to protein concentration on the binding of drug to protein were studied by fluorescence probe method. The conformational change of protein was investigated by circular dichroism (CD) measurement. As the concentration of drug increases, the association constant decreases. These may be due to complex formation of the probe and drug, or the interaction of the protein-probe complex and drug. The association constant for ibuprofenlysine increased with increasing protein concentration. These finding suggest a sharing of one ibuprofenlysine molecule by more than one protein molecule in the binding. The binding between ibuprofenlysine and protein was dependent on pH and ionic strength. It seems that both hydrophobic binding and some electrostatic forces are involved in the binding of ibuprofenlysing to protein.

The sorption behavior of Cs(I), Sr(II), and U(VI) on representative single minerals(oxide and clay) and rocks were comparatively studied by using batch type sorption experiment. The effects of pH, ionic strength and the sorption mechanism were also discussed. It was found that mineral structure played as a main factor governing the sorption characteristics of Cs(I), Sr(II). The sorption of Cs(I) and Sr(II) on minerals showed ionic strength-dependency, which is a indirect sign of weak binding between metal cation and mineral surfaces. However, the sorption behavior of U(VI) was quite different compared with that of Cs(I), and Sr(II). Fe-oxide minerals showed strong tendency for U(VI) sorption, dominating the sorption in the composite/mixture systems. The surface characteristics which arise from mineral structure, and the affinity of metal ions to the sorption sites of minerals are the key to understand the role of minerals in the radionuclide sorption.
