Binding Affinity and Specificity Based on Biochemical Studies

Binding Affinity and Specificity Based ON Biochemical Studies 

The affinities between the binding proteins and fatty acids appear to be similar and vary from roughly 0.2 to 3 juM (Table VII). As the chain length decreases, binding affinity is also reduced. For example, no lau-rate (C12) binding to IFABP is detectable (Lowe et al., 1987). ILBPs that
