Affinity of cefoperazone for penicillin-binding proteins [PDF]
Cefoperazone (T-1551, CFP) a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, has a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity. We investigated the affinity of CFP to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) and the inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis by CFP. CFP had high affinities for Escherichia coli PBP-3, -1Bs, -2, and -1A, in descending order, and low affinities for ...

FoldAffinity: binding affinities from nDSF experiments [PDF]
AbstractDifferential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) using the inherent fluorescence of proteins (nDSF) is a popular technique to evaluate thermal protein stability in different conditions (e.g. buffer, pH). In many cases, ligand binding increases thermal stability of a protein and often this can be detected as a clear shift in nDSF experiments.

PBCNet:Computing Relative Binding Affinity of Ligands to a Receptor Based on a Pairwise Binding Comparison Network for Lead Optimization [PDF]
Structure-based lead optimization is an open challenge in drug discovery, which is still largely driven by hypotheses and depends on the experience of medicinal chemists.

Binding Affinity via Docking: Fact and Fiction
In 1982, Kuntz et al. published an article with the title “A Geometric Approach to Macromolecule-Ligand Interactions”, where they described a method “to explore geometrically feasible alignment of ligands and receptors of known ...

Currently, nanobody binding cortisol has been deposited in the database. Unfortunately, the affinity is still in micromolar order. Substituting hydrophobic residues in the binding pocket and utilizing CDR2 and CDR3 is the strategy to improve the affinity.

Structure and affinity of DNA binding peptides [PDF]
Artificial peptides designed to form alpha-helical, beta-turn, antiparallel beta-sheet and beta-hairpin structures which are among the motifs most frequently found in natural DNA/RNA binding proteins were synthesized and their characteristic features were examined in the presence or absence of double or triple stranded DNA by means of UV melting ...

Inhibition of sequestration of human B-2 bradykinin receptor by phenylarsine oxide or sucrose allows determination of a receptor affinity shift and ligand dissociation in intact cells [PDF]
Depending on their interaction with intracellular proteins, G proteincoupled receptors (GPCR) often display different affinities for agonists at 37degreesC. Determining the affinity at that temperature is often difficult in intact cells as most GPCRs are

PSnpBind-ML: predicting the effect of binding site mutations on protein-ligand binding affinity
Protein mutations, especially those which occur in the binding site, play an important role in inter-individual drug response and may alter binding affinity and thus impact the drug’s efficacy and side effects.
