Spectroscopic analysis of the emission quenching at different temperatures revealed that the quenching mechanism of human serum albumin by SMZ was static mechanism. The binding constant values for the SMZ-HSA system were obtained to be 22,500 L/mol at 288 K, 15,600 L/mol at 298 K, and 8500 L/mol at 308 K. The distance r between donor and acceptor was evaluated according to the theory of Foster energy transfer. The results of spectroscopic analysis and molecular modeling techniques showed that the conformation of human serum albumin had been changed in the presence of SMZ. The thermodynamic parameters, namely enthalpy change （ΔH^0） - 36.0 kJ/mol, entropy change （ΔS^0） - 41.3 Jim01 K and free energy change （ΔG^0） - 23.7 kJ/ mol, were calculated by using van＇t Hoff equation.
