Characterization of ligand-protein binding is of crucial importance in drug discovery. Classical competition binding assays measure the binding of a labeled ligand in the presence of various concentrations of unlabeled ligand and typically use single purified proteins. Here, we introduce a high-throughput approach to study ligand-protein interactions by coupling competition binding assays with mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics. With the use of a phosphorylated immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (pITAM) peptide as a model, we characterized pITAM-interacting partners in human lymphocytes. The shapes of competition binding curves of various interacting partners constructed in a single set of quantitative proteomics experiments reflect relative affinities for the pITAM peptide. This strategy can provide an efficient approach to distinguish specific interacting partners, including two signaling kinases possessing tandem SH2 domains, SYK and ZAP-70, as well as other SH2 domain-containing proteins such as CSK and PI3K, from contaminants and to measure relative binding affinities of multiple proteins in a single experiment.

This study investigated the binding mechanism of taxifolin (TA), daidzein (DA), and S-equol (SQ) flavonoids with fish sperm double helix DNA (dsDNA) under the simulated physiological pH condition using UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy, as well as viscometric methods. Binding constants (K) for the flavonoids to dsDNA were determined as 1.8 × 10 M for SQ, 1.

Transient protein-protein interactions play key roles in controlling dynamic cellular responses. Many examples involve globular protein domains that bind to peptide sequences known as Short Linear Motifs (SLiMs), which are enriched in intrinsically disordered regions of proteins. Here we describe a novel functional assay for measuring SLiM binding, called Systematic Intracellular Motif Binding Analysis (SIMBA).

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, and effective therapeutic strategies are needed. Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) is considered a promising target for managing TNBC.
Objectives: Here, we aimed to screen natural products to find downregulator of ERRα and elucidate its mechanism of action.

A novel biochar material with magnetic modification by MnFeO and surficial hydroxyl grafting (h-MFO-BC) was synthesized for capturing HMs (Cd, Pb and Cu) and their competition in composite systems was investigated. The modification of hydroxyl considerably improved the adsorption capacity of HMs. Chemisorption and monolayer and homogeneous reaction dominated adsorption processes.

Background: Estriol (E3) is a common estrogen responsible for regulating the female reproductive system, but excessive amount can pose health risks to humans and wild life. Therefore, sensitive and accurate detection of estriol level is crucial. A novel competitive ECL immunosensor based on a dual signal amplification strategy of AuNPs@GO@SmMoSe and Gd(MoO) was fabricated for ultrasensitive detection of estriol.
