Kinetic and Thermodynamic Contributions to an Intermolecular Mechanism of Subunit Communication: Coordination of Pyruvate Carboxylase Activity Among Spatially Distinct Active Sites
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-13)Catalysis occurring in a multifunctional enzyme at spatially distinct active sites is controlled by an array of factors, including the structure of the enzyme, ligand binding, and productive interaction of substrates to ... -
Thermodynamic studies of Ca²⁺ binding to human cardiac troponin C
(East Carolina University, 2012)Human Cardiac Troponin C (HcTnC) is an EF hand protein responsible for initiating contraction of the myocardium (heart muscle). The helix-loop-helix motif, characteristic of members of the EF-hand family, allows HcTnC to ... -
Utilizing Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to Quantify the Thermodynamics of Cadmium Mimicry: A Comparison to Calcium
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is a powerful calorimetric method which can determine all thermodynamic parameters (K, [Delta]H, [Delta]G, and [Delta]S) for a binding event in a single experiment. More recently, ITC ...
