Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) are two commonly used methods to probe biomolecular interactions. ITC can provide information about the binding affinity, stoichiometry, changes in Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity upon binding. SPR can provide information about the association and dissociation kinetics, binding affinity, and stoichiometry. Both methods can determine the nature of protein-protein interactions and help understand the physicochemical principles underlying complex biochemical pathways and communication networks. This methods article discusses the practical knowledge of how to set up and troubleshoot these two experiments with some examples.

Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) acts as the primary contributor to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and potentially hepatocellular carcinoma. The flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum, a traditional edible medicinal herb, have been widely used in China for more than 2000 years. However, the function of C.

A dual-mode detection platform utilizing colorimetric and Raman was developed based on the exponential amplification reaction (EXPAR) strategy and a "core-satellite" structure constructed by bimetallic nanozymes to detect chloramphenicol (CAP). Initially, DNA-gated metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) incorporating cascaded amplification were used to be nanocarriers for the colorimetric and Raman reporter molecules (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbiphenyl; TMB). Subsequently, assembled DNA served as gatekeepers to create a stimulus-responsive DNA-gated MOF (TMB@DNA/MOF).

Redox-active micelles undergo reversible association and dissociation in response to their redox potential and are promising materials for various applications, such as drug delivery and bioimaging. Evaluation of the micellization entropy is critical in controlling the thermodynamics of micelle formation. However, conventional methods such as isothermal titration calorimetry and surface tensiometry require a long measurement time to observe changes in the heat flow or the surface tension caused by the micellization.

Background: A pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid-beta peptide (Aß). Potential treatments targeting Aß production such as γ-secretase inhibitors have had limited success. A promising alternative approach involves addressing early synaptic dysfunction by modulating molecules like striatal-enriched protein tyrosine phosphatase (STEP), whose levels and activity are upregulated by Aß.

Riboswitches are RNAs that recognize ligands and regulate gene expression. They are typically located in the untranslated region of bacterial messenger RNA and consist of an aptamer and an expression platform. In this study, we examine the folding pathway of the Vc2 (Vibrio cholerae) riboswitch aptamer domain, which targets the bacterial secondary messenger cyclic-di-GMP.
