Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Analyzing biopolymer interactions is crucial for understanding biological processes.
  • Existing methods for analyzing protein-ligand binding can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply a novel method for analyzing biopolymer binding isotherms.
  • To calculate complete binding polynomials for key proteins: lysozyme, insulin, and serum albumin.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a recently published method for analyzing binding isotherms of biopolymers.
  • Employed published titration data for lysozyme, insulin, and serum albumin.
  • Calculated complete binding polynomials, representing proteins by series in hydrogen ion concentration powers.

Main Results:

  • Successfully computed the complete binding polynomials for lysozyme (22 dissociable protons), insulin (32 dissociable protons), and serum albumin (184 dissociable protons).
  • Demonstrated that the highest power in the polynomial corresponds to the number of dissociable protons.

Conclusions:

  • The new method enables comprehensive analysis of protein proton binding.
  • The calculated binding polynomials can predict the distribution of all proton binding states at any given pH.
