Studying epigenetic interactions using MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST)
Epigenetic regulation is based on specific molecular interactions between epigenetic reader, writer and eraser molecules and chromatin. Binding parameters of these interactions such as binding affinities, stoichiometries and thermodynamics are essential for the understanding of the establishment and maintenance of epigenetic networks. The MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) is a rapid and precise m...
متن کاملAptamer Binding Studies Using MicroScale Thermophoresis.
The characterization and development of highly specific aptamers requires the analysis of the interaction strength between aptamer and target. MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST) is a rapid and precise method to quantify biomolecular interactions in solution at microliter scale. The basis of this technology is a physical effect referred to as thermophoresis, which describes the directed movement of...
متن کاملActin polymerization kinetics, cap structure, and fluctuations.
Polymerization of actin proteins into dynamic structures is essential to eukaryotic cell life, motivating many in vitro experiments measuring polymerization kinetics of individual filaments. Here, we model these kinetics, accounting for all relevant steps revealed by experiment: polymerization, depolymerization, random ATP hydrolysis, and release of phosphate (P(i)). We relate filament growth r...
متن کاملThe kinetics of actin nucleation and polymerization.
The polymerization kinetics of rabbit skeletal muscle actin was studied by following the increase in fluorescence of tracer amounts of actin conjugated to N-pyrenyl iodoacetamide. The observed polymerization kinetics could be precisely fit by numerical integration of equations describing a nucleation-elongation process. Under all conditions tested, the rate of nucleation was proportional to the...
متن کاملMolecular interaction studies using microscale thermophoresis.
Abstract The use of infrared laser sources for creation of localized temperature fields has opened new possibilities for basic research and drug discovery. A recently developed technology, Microscale Thermophoresis (MST), uses this temperature field to perform biomolecular interaction studies. Thermophoresis, the motion of molecules in temperature fields, is very sensitive to changes in size, c...
