Protein aggregation in salt solutions.
Protein aggregation is broadly important in diseases and in formulations of biological drugs. Here, we develop a theoretical model for reversible protein-protein aggregation in salt solutions. We treat proteins as hard spheres having square-well-energy binding sites, using Wertheim's thermodynamic perturbation theory. The necessary condition required for such modeling to be realistic is that pr...
متن کاملProtein-Protein Interactions in Salt Solutions
Protein-protein interactions drive many biophysical processes of proteins in solutions, such as aggregation, solubility, and phase transitions including crystallization, gelation, and amorphous precipitation. Many of these processes are of significant research interest because of their practical importance. In the biopharmaceutical industry, it is crucial to prevent therapeutic proteins from ag...
متن کاملBeta-catenin Forms Protein Aggregation at High Concentrations in HEK293TCells
Background: The canonical Wnt signal transduction (or the Wnt/β-catenin pathway) plays a crucial role in the development of animals and in carcinogenesis. Beta-catenin is the central component of this signaling pathway. The activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling results in the cytoplasmic and nuclear accumulation of β-catenin. In the nucleus, β-catenin interacts with the TCF/LEF transcription fa...
متن کاملThe effect of salt stoichiometry on protein-salt interactions determined by ternary diffusion in aqueous solutions.
We report the four diffusion coefficients for the lysozyme-MgCl2-water ternary system at 25 degrees C and pH 4.5. The comparison with previous results for the lysozyme-NaCl-water ternary system is used to examine the effect of salt stoichiometry on the transport properties of lysozyme-salt aqueous mixtures. We find that the two cross-diffusion coefficients are very sensitive to salt stoichiomet...
متن کاملThermoresponsive nanoparticle agglomeration/aggregation in salt solutions: Dependence on graft density.
Gold nanoparticles with a graft density of 0.09, 0.30 and 0.40chains/nm2 of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) were reproducibly synthesized by varying the ratio of disulfide terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to gold nanoparticle. The polymer coated nanoparticles were stable at room temperature in 50mM NaCl, yet agglomerated at 37°C. Previous studies have observed conflicting results as to the re...
