Characterization of heterologous protein-protein interactions using analytical ultracentrifugation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods for quantitative characterization of heterologous protein-protein interactions by means of analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) include sedimentation equilibrium, tracer sedimentation equilibrium, sedimentation velocity, and analytical band sedimentation. Fundamental principles governing the behavior of macromolecules in a centrifugal field are summarized, and the application of these principles to the interpretation of data obtained from each type of experiment is reviewed. Instrumentation and software for the acquisition and analysis of data obtained from different types of AUC experiments are described.

متن کاملAnalysis of Protein Interactions with Picomolar Binding Affinity by Fluorescence-Detected Sedimentation Velocity
The study of high-affinity protein interactions with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) in the picomolar range is of significant interest in many fields, but the characterization of stoichiometry and free energy of such high-affinity binding can be far from trivial. Analytical ultracentrifugation has long been considered a gold standard in the study of protein interactions but is typically...

The epsilon-proteobacteria Helicobacter pylori and Campylobacter jejuni are both human pathogens. They colonize mucosal surfaces causing severe diseases. The membrane protein complex QFR (quinol:fumarate reductase) from H. pylori has previously been established as a potential drug target, and the same is likely for the QFR from C. jejuni. In the present paper, we describe the cloning of the QFR...
