Cooperative Binding
Molecular binding is an interaction between molecules that results in a stable association between those molecules. Cooperative binding occurs if the number of binding sites of a macromolecule that are occupied by a specific type of ligand is a nonlinear function of this ligand's concentration. This can be due, for instance, to an affinity for the ligand that depends on the amount of ligand bou...
متن کاملCooperative DNA Binding Activity
The biochemical activities that underlie the genetically defined activator and repressor functions of the VIVIPAROUSl (VP1) protein have resisted in vitro analysis. Here, we show that a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein, including only the highly conserved 83 domain of VP1, has a highly cooperative, sequence-specific DNA binding activity. GST fusion proteins that include larger reg...
متن کاملSupramolecular dendrimer capsules by cooperative binding.
We exploit the unique features of dendrimers as molecular nanospheres with many peripheral binding sites to show that maximizing cooperative binding enables a novel modular self-assembly approach to construct supramolecular capsules.
متن کاملModels for Cooperative Oxygen Binding in Hemoglobin
Equilibrium measurements of oxygen binding by 0 iron(II) and cobalt(II) picket fence porphyrins exhibit p^2, ΔΗ°, and AS° values close to those of myoglobin and cobalt myoglobin respectively. In contrast the CO affinities of simple iron(II) porphyrins are much greater than those of the hemoproteins, hemoglobin (Hb) and myoglobin (Mb). This difference is apparently caused by distal residues in H...
متن کاملCooperative Binding of Transcription Factors Orchestrates Reprogramming
Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and cMyc (OSKM) reprogram somatic cells to pluripotency. To gain a mechanistic understanding of their function, we mapped OSKM-binding, stage-specific transcription factors (TFs), and chromatin states in discrete reprogramming stages and performed loss- and gain-of-function experiments. We found that OSK predominantly bind active somatic enhancers early in reprogramming and im...
