STD and WaterLOGSY-NMR were used to determine the binding between LAF and HSA.
Competitive NMR experiments indicated that LAF preferentially bound to site II of HSA.
Relaxation experiment indicated that pyridyl group was spatially close to the aromatic residues of HSA.
The bioactive conformation of LAF was identified by tr-NOESY experiment.
žConformation changes of HSA induced by its interaction with LAF.
