Binding Affinities of Retinol and Related Compounds to Retinol Binding Proteins [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1976 Fluorimetric titrations were used to determine apparent dissociation constants of the all-trans isomers of retinol, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate to human-retinol binding protein and chicken-retinol binding protein. Enhancement of the fluorescence of retinol and retinyl acetate when bound to the protein was utilized to establish ...
