Supramolecuar aggregations 1 and 2 were prepared by complexing cyclomaltohexaose with two azodipyridine isomers: 4,4'-azodipyridine and 2,2'-azodipyridine, and their binding abilities and assembly behaviors were investigated comprehensively by X-ray crystallography, 2D NMR spectroscopy, and isothermal titration calorimetry. In solution, 1:1 host-guest complexation is generally assumed, whereas ...

Elucidation of the energetic principles of binding affinity and specificity is a central task in many branches of current sciences: biology, medicine, pharmacology, chemistry, material sciences, etc. In biomedical research, integral approaches combining structural information with in-solution biophysical data have proved to be a powerful way toward understanding the physical basis of vital cell...

Allostery pervades macromolecular function and drives cooperative binding of ligands to macromolecules. To decipher the mechanisms of cooperative ligand binding it is necessary to define at a microscopic level the structural and thermodynamic consequences of binding of each ligand to its allosterically coupled site(s). However, dynamic sampling of alternative conformations (microstates) in allo...

Thermodynamics of the interaction of the chemotherapeutic and chemopreventive dietary pigment, curcumin, with hemoglobin was studied by isothermal titration calorimetry. The binding was characterized to be exothermic. At 293.15 K, the equilibrium constant for curcumin-Hb complexation was found to be (4.88 ± 0.06) × 10(5) M(-1). The binding stoichiometry was calculated to be 1.08 ± 0.05, confirm...
