Effect of Aggregated Lysozyme on Fluorescence Properties of Rose Bengal

Abstract: Protein aggregates cause abnormal states and trigger various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders. This study examined whether the xanthene dye derivative Rose Bengal could track a series of conformational changes in protein aggregates. Using lysozyme as a model protein, aggregated proteins were prepared by heating under acidic conditions. The absorption spectra, steady‐state fluorescence spectra, fluorescence quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, and phosphorescence lifetime of a solution containing Rose Bengal in the presence of aggregated lysozyme were measured to identify their spectroscopic characteristics. The absorption spectrum of Rose Bengal changed significantly during the formation of agglomerates in heated lysozyme. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity decreased during the initial stages of the aggregation process with an increase in heating time, followed by an increase in intensity along with a red‐shift of the peak wavelength. The decrease in quantum yield with a fixed fluorescence lifetime supported the formation of a nonfluorescent ground‐state complex between Rose Bengal and the aggregated lysozyme. Based on the characteristic changes in absorption and fluorescence properties observed during the aggregation process, Rose Bengal is considered an excellent indicator for the sensitive discernment of aggregated proteins.
