The binding characteristics of vitamin B1 (VB1) and vitamin B9 (VB9) with trypsin were investigated by fluorescence spectrometry and UV/vis spectrophotometry under simulated physiological conditions. With the addition of VB1 or VB9, the intrinsic fluorescence emission intensity of trypsin was quenched by the nonradiative energy transfer mechanism. The fluorescence quenching process of trypsin may be mainly governed by a static quenching mechanism. The binding parameters such as the binding constants and the number of binding sites can be evaluated by fluorescence quenching experiments. The numbers of the apparent binding constant Kb of VB1-trypsin at different temperatures were 0.4948 and 4.8340 กม 104 L/mol and the numbers of binding sites n were 0.9359 and 1.1820. Similarly, the numbers of the apparent binding constant Kb of VB9-trypsin at different temperatures were 5.9310 and 13.040 กม 10
