Protein Function –Binding Chapter 5:
Function of Globular Proteins: Ligand Binding Learning Goals 1. Reversible binding of ligands is essential • Specificity of ligands and binding sites • Ligand binding is often coupled to conformational changes, sometimes quite dramatic (Induced Fit) • In multisubunit proteins, conformational changes in one subunit can affect the others (Cooperativity) • Interactions can be regulated 2. Illustrated by: • Hemoglobin, antibodies, and muscle contraction
Functions of Globular Proteins • Storage of ions and molecules • myoglobin, ferritin • Transport of ions and molecules • hemoglobin, serotonin transporter • Defense against pathogens • antibodies, cytokines • Muscle contraction • actin, myosin • Biological catalysis • chymotrypsin, lysozyme
Protein Interaction with Other Molecules • Reversible, transient process of chemical equilibrium: A + B AB • A molecule that binds to a protein is called a ligand • Typically a small molecule • A region in the protein where the ligand binds is called the binding site • Ligand binds via same noncovalent forces that dictate protein structure (see Chapter 4) • Allows the interactions to be transient

What are the Kd’s ? A EOC Problem 1: Relates Kd with “affinity” for ligand
How is the Binding Experiment Done? With proteins such as Hemoglobin and Myoglobin, the absorbance spectrum changes between free and bound protein can be measured in a spectrophotometer. The spectrum of deoxy-myoglobin is different than oxy-myoglobin. What about proteins without a chromophore? and binding colorless ligands? Equilibrium dialysis
Human serum transferrin binds iron at pH 7.2 with a Kd of 10-19 to 10-20 M EOC Problem 5 uses simple inspection of the data to get Kd ! Make sure you get this done before Class.
Carbon Monoxide Binds Heme better than Oxygen Due to Steric Effect of His E7 (see next slide)

Oxygen Binding Curves EOC Problem 6 gets you further into cooperativity in oxygen binding. Knowing this will help in Class.
CO Binds Well Increased Exposure to even Low Levels of CO results in COHb! + The effect of exercise is trivial.
