Composition gradient static light scattering: a new technique for rapid detection and quantitative characterization of reversible macromolecular hetero-associations in solution.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for rapid detection and quantitative characterization of associations between two proteins in solution is presented, based upon continuous measurement of the Rayleigh light scattering and UV absorbance of a solution whose composition is varied with time in a controlled fashion. Collection and subsequent analysis of data are both rapid and semiautomatic. The results of validation experiments demonstrate that the technique can correctly identify complexes and reliably evaluate equilibrium constants for hetero-association.

New methods for measuring macromolecular interactions in solution via static light scattering: basic methodology and application to nonassociating and self-associating proteins.
A method for rapid detection and characterization of reversible associations of macromolecules in solution is presented. A programmable dual-syringe infusion pump is used to introduce a solution of time-varying composition into parallel flow cells for concurrent measurement of laser light scattering at multiple angles and ultraviolet-visible absorbance. An experiment lasting less than 15 min pr...
متن کاملTracer sedimentation equilibrium: a powerful tool for the quantitative characterization of macromolecular self- and hetero-associations in solution.
During the last two decades the measurement and analysis of sedimentation equilibrium has been used increasingly as a method for characterizing intermolecular interactions in solution. More recently, a variant of this technique has been developed, in which a trace amount of a single solute component is labelled so that the concentration gradient of that component at sedimentation equilibrium ma...
متن کاملCharacterization of Protein-Protein Interactions via Static and Dynamic Light Scattering
Light scattering in its various flavors constitutes a label-free, non-destructive probe of macromolecular interactions in solution, providing a direct indication of the formation or dissociation of complexes by measuring changes in the average molar mass or molecular radius as a function of solution composition and time. It is a first-principles technique, thoroughly grounded in thermodynamics,...

A rapid electrochemical technique was developed to determine 8-Hydroxyquinoline (8HQ). In the current study, the anionic surfactant Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) was immobilized on the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) paste surface for the fabrication of electrode to detect 8HQ in phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 7.0. The response of SLS modified carbon nanotube paste electrode (SLSMCNTP...

Introduction: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an imaging method in which light source and detector are installed on the head; consequently, re-emission of light from human skin contains information about cerebral hemodynamic alteration. The spatial probability distribution profile of photons penetrating tissue at a source spot, scattering into the tissue, and being released at ...
