Following aptamer-ricin specific binding by single molecule recognition and force spectroscopy measurements.
Single molecule recognition imaging and dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) analysis showed strong binding affinity between an aptamer and ricin, which was comparable with antibody-ricin interaction. Molecular simulation showed a ricin binding conformation with aptamers and gave different ricin conformations immobilizing on substrates that were consistent with AFM images.
متن کاملReceptor-binding protein of Lactococcus lactis phages: identification and characterization of the saccharide receptor-binding site.
Phage p2, a member of the lactococcal 936 phage species, infects Lactococcus lactis strains by binding initially to specific carbohydrate receptors using its receptor-binding protein (RBP). The structures of p2 RBP, a homotrimeric protein composed of three domains, and of its complex with a neutralizing llama VH domain (VHH5) have been determined (S. Spinelli, A. Desmyter, C. T. Verrips, H. J. ...
متن کاملIntrinsic fluorescence studies on saccharide binding to Artocarpus integrifolia lectin.
The combining region of Artocarpus integrifolia lectin has been studied by using the ligand-induced changes in the fluorescence of the lectin. The saccharide binding properties of the lectin show that C-1, C-2, C-4, and C-6 hydroxyl groups of D-galactose are important loci for sugar binding. The alpha-anomer of galactose binds more strongly than its beta-counterpart. Inversion in the configurat...
متن کاملActivation heat in various cross-striated muscles of Rana esculenta: microcalorimetric measurements.
Activation heat (AH) is an important component in energy balance of muscle contraction. It represents energy dissipation of biochemical processes enabling muscle in rest to perform contraction. According to our measurements on intact muscles, AH is 20% of initial heat production in twitch, and 10% in tetanus. Significantly different AH values have been obtained for muscles of parallel and not p...
متن کاملDifferences in Ribosome Binding and Sarcin/Ricin Loop Depurination by Shiga and Ricin Holotoxins
Both ricin and Shiga holotoxins display no ribosomal activity in their native forms and need to be activated to inhibit translation in a cell-free translation inhibition assay. This is because the ribosome binding site of the ricin A chain (RTA) is blocked by the B subunit in ricin holotoxin. However, it is not clear why Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) or Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2) holotoxin is not active in a ...
