Isothermal titration calorimetry of protein-protein interactions.
The interaction of biologicalmacromolecules, whether protein-DNA, antibody-antigen, hormone-receptor, etc., illustrates the complexity and diversity of molecular recognition. The importance of such interactions in the immune response, signal transduction cascades, and gene expression cannot be overstated. It is of great interest to determine the nature of the forces that stabilize the interacti...
متن کاملBiological Applications of Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
Most of the biological phenomena are influenced by intermolecular recognition and interaction. Thus, understanding the thermodynamics of biomacromolecule ligand interaction is a very interesting area in biochemistry and biotechnology. One of the most powerful techniques to obtain precise information about the energetics of (bio) molecules binding to other biological macromolecules is isoth...
متن کاملCharacterization of cationic vector-based gene delivery vehicles using isothermal titration and differential scanning calorimetry.
Within the past 10 years, major advances in the design and development of differential scanning calorimeters (DSC) (1) and isothermal titration calorimeters (ITC) (2) have resulted in an unparalleled level of sensitivity, stability, and reproducibility in calorimetric measurements of large molecules. These improvements have allowed the thermal stability and ligand binding processes of biologica...
متن کاملReevaluation of donor number using titration calorimetry.
Many empirical parameters have been suggested to measure solvent effects in chemical reactions. Gutmann's donor number has been a successful parameter to quantify the electron-donating property of the solvent molecule; it is defined as the enthalpy change of the addition reaction of solvent molecule to SbCl(5) in 1,2-dichloroethane. Calorimetric measurements can be applied to determine the qu...
متن کاملThermodynamic analysis of the heparin interaction with a basic cyclic peptide using isothermal titration calorimetry.
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) was examined as part of a continuing study of the interaction of proteins and peptides with the glycosaminoglycan heparin. BNP was tentatively identified as a heparin-binding protein on the basis of its cyclic structure and the high frequency of the basic amino acid residues, lysine and arginine. Thermodynamic analysis using isothermal titration calorimetry confi...
