Circular dichroism and synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy: tools for drug discovery.
CD spectroscopy is an established and valuable technique for examining protein structure, dynamics and folding. Because of its ability to sensitively detect conformational changes, it has important potential for drug discovery, enabling screening for ligand and drug binding, and detection of potential candidates for new pharmaceuticals. The binding of the anti-tumour agent Taxol to the anti-apo...
متن کاملSynchrotron radiation circular dichroism and conventional circular dichroism spectroscopy: A comparison
Conventional circular dichroism (cCD) spectroscopy is a valuable tool for secondary structure analyses of proteins. In recent years, it has been possible to use synchrotrons as light sources for CD, with the technique being known as Synchrotron Radiation Circular Dichroism (SRCD). In this study, the spectra of two proteins, the primarily helical myoglobin and the primarily beta-sheet concanaval...
متن کاملProtein characterisation by synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy.
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a well-established technique for the study of proteins. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) spectroscopy extends the utility of conventional CD spectroscopy (i.e. using laboratory-based instruments) because the high light flux from a synchrotron enables collection of data to lower wavelengths, detection of spectra with higher signal-to-noise l...
متن کاملCalibration and Standardisation of Synchrotron Radiation Circular Dichroism and Conventional Circular Dichroism Spectrophotometers
Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism (SRCD) is an emerging technique in structural biology with particular value in protein secondary structure analyses since it permits the collection of data down to much lower wavelengths than conventional circular dichroism (cCD) instruments. Reference database spectra collected on different SRCD instruments in the future as well as current reference dat...
متن کاملIn vitro study of drug-protein interaction using electronic absorption, fluorescence, and circular dichroism spectroscopy
In the near future, design of a new generation of drugs targeting proteins will be required. Considering the complex bond between the drug and protein, the structure and stability of the target protein should be considered. So far, a series of in vitro investigations have been conducted with the aim of predicting drug-biological medium interactions. In these studies, use of spectroscopic method...
