The interaction between Cr2O72?/sup> and human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated using fluorescence, UV/vis, FT-IR, CD spectroscopy, and molecular modeling method. The experimental results showed that the fluorescence quenching of HSA by Cr2O72?/sup> is a result of the formation of HSA-chromium(VI) complex; static quenching was confirmed to result in the fluorescence quenching. The corresponding thermodynamic parameters showed that the process of binding Cr2O72?/sup> on HSA was a spontaneous molecular interaction procedure. Ionic, H-bonds and van der Waals interactions play a major role in stabilizing the complex. The Cr2O72?/sup> altered the environments of Trp and Tyr residues in HSA.
