Serum albumin is one of the most widely studied proteins and is the most abundant protein in plasma with a typical concentration of 5g/100ml.he BSA molecule is made up of three homologous domains (I, II, III) which are divided into nine loops (L1-L9) by 17 disulphide bonds. The loops in each domain are made up of a sequence of large-small-large loops forming a triplet. Each domain in turn is the product of two subdomains (IA, IB, etc.).
