The binding constants of bovine serum album (BSA) with D,L-tryptophan (Trp), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) with trypsin and chymotrypsin were determined. These values are 2.3 x 10(4)L/mol for BSA-L-Trp; 1.77 x 10(3) L/mol for BSA-D-Trp in pH 7.4, 50 mmol/ L phosphate; 1.4 x 10(4) L/mol for SMZ- trypsin and 6.0 x 10(3) L/mol for SMZ-chymotrypsin in pH 6.5, 25 mmol/L Tris buffer. The proposed method has merits of speed, low sample consumption and readily available to be performed in desired physiological conditions.展开更多

Peptides can be rapidly isolated using bacterial display methods for new and emerging biothreats and can be chemically synthesized for rapid, large-scale production. With the emergence of peptide biosensor reagents, there is a growing need to develop methods for characterizing binding interactions. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a free-solution separation method that is able to determine target and analyte binding association (Kb) and dissociation constants (Kd). In this study, the Kb, Kd, and peptide specificity of an isolated peptide binding reagent to protective antigen (PA) of Bacillus anthracis were evaluated using capillary electrophoresis at 10 and 20 kV. The relative binding specificity was rapidly assessed by measuring the peptide relative mobility shift at 20 kV at nonequilibrium using bovine serum albumin (BSA), horseradish peroxidase (HRP), and an anti-PA monoclonal antibody (mAb). The αPA peptide was shown to be highly specific for PA, with a Kd = 177 nM measured at 20 kV and Kd = 312 nM measured at 10 kV. These results show that peptides from bacterial display libraries can be rapidly tested for specificity and binding affinity, in solution, for use as a potential biosensor reagent against new and emerging biothreats.展开更多

Both the receptor and co-receptor are recognized by HIV-1 envelope protein gpl20, which plays a key role in the entry process of HIV-1 into cells. The development of new inhibitors is essential since the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase （RT） is one of the first targets of antiretroviral therapy. It has been reported that a variety of natural plants, such as Artemisia rupestris L., have anti-viral pharmacological activity, and they might be the potential inhibitors of RT or V3 loop of gpl20 against HIV-1. RIQRGPGRAFVT1GK （R15K）, the relatively conserved region of V3 loop, can be used for binding research. In this work, we analyzed the interactions between different extracts from Artemisia rupestris L. and R15K by affinity capillary electrophoresis （ACE）. Moreover, we analyzed the interactions between different extracts from Artemisia rupestris L. and RT by capillary zone electrophoresis （CZE）. Our data showed that the chloroform extract ofArtemisia rupestris L. was active among the different plant extracts, which was consistent with previous studies. Taken together, our study provided a rapid screening method to seek anti-HIV ingredients in natural plants＇ extracts.展开更多

P45, rsgp41 and the complexes were well resolved. The entire separation was achieved in less than 3min. Formations of two kinds of stable P45 rsgp41 complexes were confirmed based on migration time comparison; the binding equilibrium was achieved as soon as two proteins were mixed. The results indicate that the interaction between P45 and rsgp41 is strong with a fast association rate and a slow dissociation rate, and there are at least two kinds of binding sites with different binding constants between P45 and rsgp41.展开更多

Free FITC BSA and the complexes were separated by capillary electrophoresis in 7 min after incubation. The running buffer was 100 mmol/L HEPES at pH 7 4, and separation voltage was 30 kV. The K b was determined to be 4 7×10 8 L/mol using Scatchard plotting method. The influences of incubation time and electrophoresis conditions on determination were also studied.展开更多
