Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with average size of ~7.5nm were synthesized to investigate their interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA) at different temperatures. Fluorescence quenching, synchronous and polarization spectroscopy along with UV-vis absorption, circular dichroism and resonance light scattering spectroscopy techniques were used to establish the interaction mechanism between ZnO and BSA.
