β-Lactamase-Based Conductimetric Biosensor Assay for Protein-Protein Interactions

912
This video demonstrates a conductimetric biosensor assay to study the interaction of an antibody with a target antigen immobilized on a transducer chip. The biosensor is engineered to have a bifunctional chimeric protein — a β-lactamase enzyme with a functional catalytic site fused to a nanobody for binding to the immobilized target antigen. Upon binding, the catalytic hydrolysis of an antibiotic substrate by the β-lactamase enzyme generates an electrical signal —...

Single-Strand DNA Binding Proteins

16.6K
For successful DNA replication, the unwinding of double-stranded DNA must be accompanied by stabilization and protection of the separated single strands of the DNA. This crucial task is performed by single-strand DNA-binding (SSB) proteins. They bind to the DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which means that the nitrogenous bases of the DNA need not be present in a specific order for binding of SSB proteins to it. The binding of SSB proteins straightens single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and makes...

Protein and Protein Structure

86.9K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...
