Association binding

The hormonal stimulation of adenylyl cyclase is effected by a transmembrane signaling pathway consisting of three components, all membrane-associated. Binding of hormone to the external surface of a hormone receptor causes a conformational change in this transmembrane protein, which in turn stimulates a GTP-binding protein (abbreviated G protein). G proteins are heterotrimeric proteins consisting of a- (45-47 kD), /3- (35 kD), and y- (7-9 kD) subunits. The a-subunit binds GDP or GTP and has an intrinsic, slow...

In addition to the observed polarization transfer, attachment of the hydrogenated product to the catalyst - most likely in the form of a re-complex between the aromatic portion of a product and the cationic catalyst - has also been observed in the 13C-PHIP-NMR spectra. The associated larger shift range of the affected 13C will make it possible to characterize the nature of this attachment as well as the associated binding energies of the hydrogenation product to the catalysts metal center more precisely and effectively. 

The Declaration of Geneva of the World Medical Association binds the physician with the words the health of my patient will be my first consideration, and the International Code of Medical Ethics declares that medical progress is based on research, which ultimately must rest in part on experimentation involving human subjects. In medical research on human subjects, considerations related to the well being of the human subject should take precedence over the interests of science and society. ...

Again, the statistical factors 4, 5, etc., arise because Xr and K-y are intrinsic association binding constants, yet the overall expressions for the complexes requires extrinsic parameters e.g., Kr = [RX]/[R][X] = [R4X2]/[R4X][X] because there are three unfilled sites in the R4X molecule and two in each R4X2 molecule (see also Example 9.12). The fractional saturation Y is again defined by Eq. (9.49) ... 

Waxman While we are talking about concentrations of various molecules as they approach the node, years ago Landon and Langley showed that nodes of Ranvier in peripheral nerve are surrounded by a cuff of what they called gap substance . They subsequently presented some evidence that this acts as a cation binding lattice. There is also evidence that the gap substance can bind some anions. For those of you who do immunocytochemistry, this extracellular substance also binds many antibodies, so when you do immunocytochemistry on axons you not only see membrane fluorescence, but also artefactual or nonmembrane-associated binding of antibodies to this extracellular material surrounding the node. Gary Strichartz, do you want to comment on the issue of what concentrations of TTX, for example, are seen at a node of Ranvier, compared to those that you applied to a whole nerve ...
