I wonder whether that is why it works as an anti-coagulant? Is it mimicking nucleic acids? So then would DNA work as an anti-coagulant as well...? JPK On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 4:20 PM, Nian Huang wrote: > Heparin simulates the structure of DNA and RNA, so it has nonspecific > affinity towards DNA

Heparin simulates the structure of DNA and RNA, so it has nonspecific affinity towards DNA or RNA binding protein. It has also been used as DNAse or RNase inhibitor but it is not very good one. Nian Huang, Ph.D. UT Southwestern Medical Center On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 7:44 PM, Alexandra Deaconescu w

Hey, does Wikipedia lie? Also, the reference is to Lehninger's text, although I did not verify it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 3:37 PM, Dima Klenchin wrote: > >> heparin sulfate has the highest negative charge density of any known >> biological molecule. > > Seem

heparin sulfate has the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. Seems to me that phytic acid (IP6, C6H6-(H2P04)6) and inositol heptakisphosphate (IP7) should have higher charge per mass and per volume. - Dima

Related fact I learned recently, perhaps of interest for fellow record-keepers: heparin sulfate has the highest negative charge density of any known biological molecule. JPK On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 9:38 PM, Raji Edayathumangalam wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Most DNA-binding proteins has decent affinity

Hi Alex, Most DNA-binding proteins has decent affinity to heparin columns. Have you tried purifying your protein over heparin columns? Cheers, Raji On Sat, Apr 9, 2011 at 8:44 PM, Alexandra Deaconescu wrote: > Hello ccp4 enthusiasts: > > I am afraid this is a non-ccp4 related question. Can a
