The binding interaction of adenosine with human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated under simulative physiological conditions by fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with a molecular modeling method. A strong fluorescence quenching reaction of adenosine to HSA was observed and the quenching mechanism was suggested as static quenching according to the Stern‐Volmer equation. The binding constants ( K ) at different temperatures as well as thermodynamic parameters, enthalpy change (Δ H ) and entropy change (Δ S ), were calculated according to relevant fluorescent data and Vant′Hoff equation. The hydrophobic interaction was a predominant intermolecular force in order to stabilize the complex, which was in agreement with the results of molecular modeling study.
