Binding of lithium diiodosalicylate to glycophorin
Abstract:
Glycophorin was purified from human erythrocyte ghosts by the lithium diiodosalicylate -phenol procedure utilizing 125I-labeled lithium diiodosalicylate. The glycophorin preparation was found to contain 8.9 +/- 2.1 mol lithium diiodosalicylate per mol glycophorin. This bound lithium diiodosalicylate cannot be removed by extensive washings with a variety of polar organic solvents nor by treatment with the detergent, sodium deoxycholate. Further, the hydrophobic peptide produced from glycophorin by trypsin digestion contained 3.4 mol lithium diiodosalicylate per mol peptide.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
