Re: [ccp4bb] ITC with heterogeneous protein

Dear Sajid, one first problem in your study is how-to adress if the deltaH mesured is caused by the ligand interaction, or by the modification of dimer-monomer equilibrium. You have to well caracterise your system dimer-monomer. One other problem is about the accessibility of the interaction

Dear Sajid If the binding site of your ligand is remote from the dimerization interface, it should normally not be a problem. You will bind two ligands for a dimer and one ligand for a monomer and you should be able to fit the isotherm with one unique site even in presence of a mix of monomers

Hi Sajid, *Assuming* you have one site per monomer (rather than, say, one site per dimer), and *assuming* each binding event is completely independent ( I.e no co-operativity), you might just get away with running the experiment with the heterogeneous material. However, you might not be able to

I have a similar case, where in there are multiple binding sites on the protein for the ligand and ligand induces dimerization.So it is not helpful even if I separate the monomer and dimer. If I titrate the dimer with ligand, the stoichiometry will completely change? Any suggestions will be

If the following is not deleterious to your protein and its function you could introduce mutations that prevent dimerization. ~Jeff I have a similar case, where in there are multiple binding sites on the protein for the ligand and ligand induces dimerization.So it is not helpful even if I
