Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Protein-ligand interactions are crucial in biological processes.
  • Accurate determination of binding affinities is essential for drug discovery and understanding molecular mechanisms.
  • Existing methods for affinity determination can be complex and time-consuming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple and efficient method for screening protein-ligand interactions.
  • To enable simultaneous analysis of multiple ligands.
  • To determine affinity constants (Ka) for protein-glycan interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrafiltration membrane technique combined with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
  • Procedure involves mixing ligand with protein, ultrafiltration, and quantifying unbound ligands.
  • Affinity constants were determined by analyzing variable protein concentrations.
  • Method validated using fluorescently labeled glycans and lectins (malectin, VIP36), and endo-α-mannosidase mutants.

Main Results:

  • The ultrafiltration method successfully screened protein-ligand interactions.
  • Affinity constants were easily obtained and showed good agreement with conventional methods (ITC, FAC).
  • Simultaneous analysis of multiple ligands was feasible when ligand concentrations were controlled.
  • The method was effective for evaluating lectin-glycan interactions, including those involving endo-α-mannosidase mutants.

Conclusions:

  • A simple, rapid, and cost-effective ultrafiltration method for protein-ligand interaction screening and affinity determination has been established.
  • This method is suitable for analyzing complex biological interactions, such as lectin-glycan binding.
  • The technique offers a valuable tool for biochemical research and drug discovery.
