The equilibrium hetero-association of NADH oxidase and peroxiredoxin was characterized by means of independently conducted measurements of composition-gradient sedimentation equilibrium and composition-gradient static light scattering. Results obtained from both experiments were quantitatively accounted for by a model according to which a dimer of NADH oxidase forms a 1:1 equilibrium complex with a decamer of peroxiredoxin under the conditions of these experiments. The best-fit equilibrium constants for heteroassociation of the two proteins obtained from the two measurements were found to be identical to well within the uncertainty of estimate of each of the two methods. The relative virtues of each of the methods are discussed.

The rational design of electrocatalysts with well-designed compositions and structures for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is promising and challenging. Herein, we developed a novel strategy - a one-step double-cation etching sedimentation equilibrium strategy - to synthesize amorphous hollow Fe-Co-Ni layered double hydroxide nanocages with an outer surface of vertically interconnected ultrathin nanosheets (Fe-Co-Ni-LDH), which primarily depends on the etching sedimentation equilibrium of the template interface. This unique vertical nanosheet-shell hierarchical nanostructure possesses enhanced charge transfer, increased active sites, and favorable kinetics during electrolysis, resulting in superb electrocatalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

Analysis of weakly self-associating macromolecules at concentrations beyond a few g/L is challenging on account of the confounding effect of thermodynamic nonideality on the association signal. When the reversible association comprises only 1 or 2 oligomeric species in equilibrium with the monomer, the nonideality may be accounted for in a relatively rigorous manner, but if more association states are involved, the analysis becomes quite complex. We show that under reasonable assumptions, the nonideality in a composition-gradient static light scattering measurement may be accounted for in a simple fashion.

Sedimentation Equilibrium Analysis of ClpB Self-Association in Diluted and Crowded Solutions.

ClpB belongs to the Hsp100 family of ring-forming heat-shock proteins involved in degradation of unfolded/misfolded proteins and in reactivation of protein aggregates. ClpB monomers reversibly associate to form the hexameric molecular chaperone that, together with the DnaK system, has the ability to disaggregate stress-denatured proteins. Here, we summarize the use of sedimentation equilibrium approaches, complemented with sedimentation velocity and composition-gradient static light scattering measurements, to study the self-association properties of ClpB in dilute and crowded solutions.

Ca(2+) activates SK Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels through the protein Ca(2+) sensor, calmodulin (CaM). To understand how SK channels operate, it is necessary to determine how Ca(2+) regulates CaM binding to its target on SK. Tagless, recombinant SK peptide (SKp), was purified for binding studies with CaM at low and high Ca(2+) concentrations.
