Abstract :The ground state electronic and fluorescence spectra of unsubstituted copper (II) phthalocyanine (CuPc) have been studied in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in water as a solvent. The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the solution properties of CuPc: BSA bioconjugate has also been investigated. FT-IR, UV-Vis, and fluorescence analysis have been carried to evaluate the BSA: CuPc bioconjugation. The optimum bioconjugate ratio of BSA: CuPc has been studied via UV-Vis and fluorescence spectral techniques. The collaborative effect of SDS with BSA on the aggregation of CuPc suspension has also been studied in terms of UV-Vis, fluorescence, and FT–IR analysis.
