Abstract:
Substances such as drugs, as well as special ligands with expressive biospecific properties, all with different affinities, interact with proteins which can be characterized by dissociation constants. The method for estimation of the dissociation constant on the basis of adsorption kinetics was verified for two typical cases: adsorption of lactate dehydrogenase onto bead cellulose derivatized by reactive dyes C.I.2. or C.I.19, and adsorption of different drugs (neuroleptics and local anesthetics) onto calmodulin immobilized on agarose gel. The real equilibrium values obtained by using the complete time-concentration model of adsorption were fitted according to the respective adsorption isotherms by non-linear regression.
