Counting Protons: Using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to Determine the Number of Protons Exchanged Upon Ca(II) and Cd(II) Binding to Wild-type HcTnC and Mutant C84A and C35A/C84A Proteins
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)Maintaining a delicate balance of metal ions in the cell is crucial to the survival of many organisms. Divalent cadmium, Cd(II), is a non-essential metal ion that can disrupt this delicate balance and lead to deleterious ... -
The Thermodynamics of Cd(II) Binding to Human Cardiac Troponin C: Using Mutants to Determine the Location of Cd(II) Binding
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-31)Historically, cadmium (Cd) has been used in many different applications from cadmium paint to nickel-cadmium batteries. However, Cd is a nonessential, naturally occurring toxic element due to its low excretion rate and ...
