Investigating the binding of organic charge transfer co-crystals to human serum albumin by experimental and theoretical methods: spectroscopy, molecular docking and DFT/TD-DFT studies

Abstract

A new complex was formed by the transfer of charge between 2-ethylimidazole (2-EIM) as an electron donor and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (BTC) as a π acceptor and studied using various physical and chemical methods.
