The reactions between HSA and acidic phenolsulfonphthaleins, including phenol red, cresol red, chlorophenol red, bromocresol purple and m-cresol purple, have been investigated by fluorescence spectrometry. The experiments showed that all of the selected acidic phenolsulfonphthaleins strongly quenched the fluorescence produced
