A binding study of nickel ions by a new recombinant human Growth Hormone (hGH), produced as an injected drug, has been done at 27˚C in NaCl solution (50 mM) using an isothermal titration calorimetry. There is a set of three identical and non-interacting binding sites for nickel ions. The intrinsic dissociation equilibrium constant and the molar enthalpy of binding are 40 μM and -16...

most of the biological phenomena are influenced by intermolecular recognition and interaction. thus, understanding the thermodynamics of biomacromolecule ligand interaction is a very interesting area in biochemistry and biotechnology. one of the most powerful techniques to obtain precise information about the energetics of (bio) molecules binding to other biological macromolecules is isothermal...

The interaction of brilliant green with herring sperm DNA was investigated in detail by spectrometric methods in γ-cyclodextrin systems. On the condition of physiological pH, brilliant green prefers to form the 1:1 inclusion complex with γ-cyclodextrin.All the evidences indicated that the binding modes between γ-cyclode...

Effects of ?-cyclodextrin, ?CD, on refolding of lysozyme was investigated at pH 12 employing isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 300K in 30mM Tris buffer solution. ?CD was employed as an anti-aggregation agent and the heats obtained for lysozyme+?CD interactions are reported and analyzed in terms of the extended solvation model. It was indicated that there are two sets of identical and no...

human serum albumin (hsa) is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma. drug binding to hsa is crucial to study the absorption, distribution, metabolism, efficiency and bioavailability of drug molecules. in this study, isothermal titration calorimetry and molecular dynamics simulation of hsa and its complex with indometacin (im) were performed to investigate thermodynamics parameters and th...

abstractinteraction of ni complex(salen= n, n´-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine)) with hen egg-white lysozyme (hewl) was studied by absorption spectroscopy, competitive binding study and thermal denaturation study. the protein binding affinity of ni complex was found to be (3.0×103m−1). the binding plot obtained from the absorption titration data gives a binding constant of 2.4 (± 0.3)×103 m-1. i...

The surface parameter of nanoparticles such as hydrophobicity and a hydrophilicity on protein structure and function is very important. In this study, conformational changes of glucose oxidase (GOx) in the mercaptopurine: GNPs and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid: GNPs as a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic GNPs surface was investigated by various spectroscopic techniques, including: UV-Vis absorption, f...
