This study validated Biacore instruments for characterizing small-molecule inhibitor-enzyme thermodynamics. Immobilizing carbonic anhydrase II did not alter interaction thermodynamics, matching isothermal titration calorimetry results.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Chemical Biology
  • Biophysical Chemistry

Background:

  • Understanding small-molecule inhibitor-enzyme interactions is crucial for drug discovery.
  • Thermodynamic characterization provides key insights into binding mechanisms.
  • Optical biosensors offer potential for efficient thermodynamic studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To benchmark Biacore instruments for thermodynamic analysis of inhibitor-enzyme binding.
  • To assess the impact of enzyme immobilization on thermodynamic measurements.
  • To compare Biacore data with isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).

Main Methods:

  • Enzyme (carbonic anhydrase II) immobilization on a Biacore sensor chip.
  • Binding kinetics and affinity measurements of four sulfonamide inhibitors at varying temperatures (6-36°C).

    • Main Results:

    • Biacore analysis yielded equilibrium dissociation and thermodynamic constants comparable to ITC.
    • Enzyme immobilization did not significantly alter the thermodynamics of inhibitor binding.
    • Consistent thermodynamic data were obtained across 22 participating laboratories.

    Conclusions:

    • Biacore instruments are suitable for accurate thermodynamic characterization of small-molecule inhibitor-enzyme interactions.
    • Enzyme immobilization on sensor surfaces preserves native binding thermodynamics.
    • This study highlights the utility and challenges of optical biosensors for biophysical studies.
