Relative spectral response as a function of sequential ligand binding.

Abstract:

:A unique method is presented for the determination of the critical number of ligands that must bind to a macromolecule to elicit a spectroscopic response. This method is based on analysis of ligand binding data. For example, four Ca2+ and two Mg2+ ions are necessary for mirroring the relative decrease in the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine prothrombin fragment 1. For application of the method, ligand loading and relative spectroscopic response data must be measured over a full range of concentrations.

  • ATP enhances at low concentrations but dissolves at high concentrations liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of ALS/FTD-causing FUS.

    abstract::ATP is the universal energy currency but mysteriously its cellular concentration is much higher than that needed for providing energy. Recently ATP was decoded to act as a hydrotrope to dissolve liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of FUS whose aggregation leads to ALS/FTD. By DIC microscopy and NMR, here we characte...
