This study utilized multi-spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and molecular simulations to explore the interaction mechanisms of perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDoA) and perfluorotetradecanoic acid (PFTeDA) with HSA. The findings revealed that at 298 K, the binding constant of PFDoA with HSA is 4.61 × 10<sup>5</sup> L/mol, significantly higher than that of PFTeDA at 1.84 × 10<sup>3</sup> L/mol, demonstrating a stronger affinity of PFDoA for HSA. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the binding process to be exothermic, driven primarily by hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. Spectroscopic analyses consistently showed that HSA-PFDoA/PFTeDA binding altered the microenvironment of HSA's amino acid residues and induced unwinding of α-helical structures, causing significant conformational changes. Molecular simulations further confirmed that PFDoA and PFTeDA bind to HSA's subdomain IIA, aligning with competitive experimental results. The HSA-PFDoA complex exhibited lower binding energy (-9.5 kcal/mol) and binding free energy (-36.41 kcal/mol) than those of the HSA-PFTeDA complex (-9.1 kcal/mol and -19.69 kcal/mol), suggesting a more stable bond with HSA. Quantum chemical structure analysis highlighted the high reactivity at the carbonyl positions of PFDoA/PFTeDA.
