Mimicking the binding and unbinding of Fe3+ with transferrin using a single biomimetic nanochannel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of apo-Tf functionalized nanochannel is developed to achieve the specific and selective binding and unbinding of Fe(3+) in a multiple and reversible manner via a protein-conformation-gating mechanism. This ion-responsive biomimetic nanochannel provides a simple, robust, and promising model for studying other biological processes.

Manganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin
The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...

متن کاملDetermination of the Binding Constant of Terbium-Transferrin
Apotransferrin (apo Tf) in 0.1 M N-(2hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N2-ethanesulfanic acid at 25 ˚C and pH 7.4 has been titrated with acidic solution of Tb3+. The binding of Tb3+ at the two specific metal-binding sites of transferrin was followed from the changes in the difference UV spectra at 245 nm. The molar absorptivity per binding site for Tb3+...
متن کاملIdentification of Amino Acids Involve in Indium Binding To Serum Human Apo-Transferrin
Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is used as a radioimaging and chemotherapeutic agent in diagnosis and also in the treatment of cancers. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism and reduce cell growth in cancer tissue. The present report was established to study the binding of iron and indium to apo-transferrin (apo-tf) and to identify amino acids involv...
