Download or read book Quantitive Analysis Of Biospec written by Per Lundahl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2004, this book collects several up-to-date methods for quantitative analysis of biospecific interactions, a field that has a long history that perhaps can be said to have begun with the classical paper of G. Scatchard in 1949 (The attractions of proteins for small molecules and ions, but which has advanced impressively during the last few years. A precise spatial arrangement of just a few hydrogen bonds can confer a remarkably specific reversible association between two molecules. A web of weak interactions governs biospecific recognition in general. The binding equilibria in living cells tune and coordinate a multitude of functions. The thermodynamic properties of such interactions are often studied by binding experiments in simplified and essentially ideal systems. However, similar types of studies may elucidate the biologically relevant dynamic steady-state conditions in living cells and organisms, allowing for the very wide range of interactant concentrations and the interplay between the many reactions and interactions. The development in biosciences will continue with in-depth studies of macromolecules and membranes. More detailed knowledge will allow analyses of delicate balances between substances and events in the complex systems involved in life processes. Methods to study biospecific affinities are thus highly important tools for understanding mechanisms and effects of molecular binding events in vivo and in vitro, e.g., in biochemical, biomedical and pharmaceutical research, and for biotechnological research and production.

Download or read book Reversible Ligand Binding written by Andrea Bellelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents the physical background of ligand binding and instructs on how experiments should be designed and analyzed Reversible Ligand Binding: Theory and Experiment discusses the physical background of protein-ligand interactions—providing a comprehensive view of the various biochemical considerations that govern reversible, as well as irreversible, ligand binding. Special consideration is devoted to enzymology, a field usually treated separately from ligand binding, but actually governed by identical thermodynamic relationships. Attention is given to the design of the experiment, which aids in showing clear evidence of biochemical features that may otherwise escape notice. Classical experiments are reviewed in order to further highlight the importance of the design of the experiment. Overall, the book supplies students with the understanding that is necessary for interpreting ligand binding experiments, formulating plausible reaction schemes, and analyzing the data according to the chosen model(s). Topics covered include: theory of ligand binding to monomeric proteins; practical considerations and commonly encountered problems; oligomeric proteins with multiple binding sites; ligand binding kinetics; hemoglobin and its ligands; single-substrate enzymes and their inhibitors; two-substrate enzymes and their inhibitors; and rapid kinetic methods for studying enzyme reactions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biochemical kinetics refers to the rate at which a reaction takes place. Kinetic mechanisms have played a major role in defining the metabolic pathways, the mechanistic action of enzymes, and even the processing of genetic material. The Handbook of Biochemical Kinetics provides the "underlying scaffolding" of logic for kinetic approaches to distinguish rival models or mechanisms. The handbook also comments on techniques and their likely limitations and pitfalls, as well as derivations of fundamental rate equations that characterize biochemical processes.

Download or read book Protein Ligand Interactions written by Hans-Joachim Böhm and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-03-06 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lock-and-key principle formulated by Emil Fischer as early as the end of the 19th century has still not lost any of its significance for the life sciences. The basic aspects of ligand-protein interaction may be summarized under the term 'molecular recognition' and concern the specificity as well as stability of ligand binding. Molecular recognition is thus a central topic in the development of active substances, since stability and specificity determine whether a substance can be used as a drug. Nowadays, computer-aided prediction and intelligent molecular design make a large contribution to the constant search for, e. g., improved enzyme inhibitors, and new concepts such as that of pharmacophores are being developed. An up-to-date presentation of an eternally young topic, this book is an indispensable information source for chemists, biochemists and pharmacologists dealing with the binding of ligands to proteins.
