Diffusion-controlled ligand binding to spheres partially covered by receptors: an effective medium treatment.
نویسنده
چکیده
An effective medium treatment is used to extend Berg and Purcell's theory of diffusion-controlled ligand binding to a sphere partially covered by receptors. This treatment takes into account more completely the effects of interference between receptors. The results are in excellent agreement with computer simulations by Northrup.

Preparation of a Photoactivable Ligand for Bradykinin Receptors
ABSTRACT Most of physiological effects of bradykinin is due to its effect on bradykinin B2 receptors. There is no reports of preparation of a photoactivatable analogue of bradykinin reactive with sloubilized bradykinin B2 recpetors. Photoactivatable radioactive ligands are powerful tools in purification of receptors. In this study we report preparation of a photoactivatable iodinatable analo...
متن کاملEffect of rotation on the diffusion-controlled rate of ligand-protein association.
The rate of binding a fairly large ligand molecule to a protein is reduced below the usual diffusion-controlled rate by the requirement of a certain rotational orientation. A simple, approximate treatment of this effect is given for special cases of spherical and ellipsoidal ligands. As the center of an ellipsoidal ligand approaches a protein surface, there is an effective repulsive potential b...
متن کاملInteraction of Human Serum Albumin with Ethyl 2-[2-(dimethylamino)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3-thiazole-5-yl]-2-oxoacetate as a Synthesized Ligand
The interaction of human serum albumin with Ethyl 2-[2-(dimethylamino)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)- 1,3-thiazole-5-yl]-2-oxoacetate was investigated by using isothermal titration UV-visible spectrophotometry in tris-buffer, pH 7.4. According to these results, it was found that there are a set of 4 binding sites for this ligand on HSA with positive cooperativity in the binding process. This thiazole deriv...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of Thymol Microparticles Using Cellulose Derivatives as Controlled Release Dosage Form
Thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. To increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) were used as the matrix polymer here. Mixtures of thymol with eight ...
