Direct measurement of protein binding energetics by isothermal titration calorimetry.
Of all the techniques that are currently available to measure binding, isothermal titration calorimetry is the only one capable of measuring not only the magnitude of the binding affinity but also the magnitude of the two thermodynamic terms that define the binding affinity: the enthalpy (AH) and entropy (AS) changes. Recent advances in instrumentation have facilitated the development of experi...
متن کاملClot formation by group A streptococci.
Group A streptococci of several different M serotypes can cause human plasma to clot in nutrient-poor media. Addition of glucose to the medium prevents clot formation. Once formed, clots are stable for several days and can be lysed on addition of exogenous streptokinase or urokinase. Clot lysis can also be achieved by addition of glucose to a clot containing wild-type group A streptococci but n...
متن کاملMultiscale measurement of cardiac energetics.
Herein we describe our laboratories' experimental methods for interrogating cardiac energetics at the organ (whole heart), tissue (trabecula) and perforated fibre (mitochondrial) levels. In whole heart and trabecula experiments, we focus on measuring pressure-volume (force-length) work and oxygen consumption (heat production) from which mechanical efficiency is derived. In both preparations (i....
متن کاملA new device for measurement of fibrin clot lysis: application to the Euglobulin Clot Lysis Time
BACKGROUND Determination of clot lysis times on whole blood, diluted whole blood, plasma or plasma fraction has been used for many years to assess the overall activity of the fibrinolytic system. We designed a completely computerised semi-automatic 8-channel device for measurement and determination of fibrin clot lysis. The lysis time is evaluated by a mathematical analysis of the lysis curve a...
متن کاملGamma globulin inhibition of fibrin clot formation.
Myeloma gamma globulins have been reported to interfere with fibrinogen-fibrin conversion. A patient with multiple myeloma is described with a gamma globulin IgG1lambda concentration of 11 g per dl, prolonged thrombin time and poor clot retraction. Purified gamma globulin from the patient's serum and from normal serum caused prolongation of the thrombin time and reptilase clotting time assays i...
