Abstract:
Methods to assess the kinetic stability of proteins, particularly those that are aggregation prone, are very useful in establishing ligand induced stabilizing effects. Because aggregation prone proteins are by nature difficult to work with, most solution based methods are compromised by this inherent instability. Here, we describe a label-free method that examines the denaturation of immobilized proteins where the dynamic unfolded protein populations are captured and detected by chaperonin binding.
