The structure and morphological properties of Cys-PANI were confirmed from FTIR and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fluorescence quenching of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) was carried out using different concentrations of the Cys-PANI oligomers. There was a slight difference in the static quenching of HSA as compared to BSA, which was attributed to the different structures of the two serum albumins. The quenching rate constant was found to increase with cysteine content in the polymer, showing that the loading of higher amount of Cys increased the solubility of the Cys-PANI oligomers. This led to electrostatic attraction between the water molecules shielding the serum albumins and the Cys-PANI oligomers.
