BINDING BASICS

While many medications may have high protein binding, there are few clinically important known interactions.

Protein binding changes and drug interactions: What do we know?

Sometimes those equations are incorrectly used to describe interactions with G4 and other DNA nonhomogeneous oligomers even though the authors of the model have concluded that the binding of ligands known to have heterogeneous binding sites on the DNA cannot be adequately treated based on the conditional probability approach [21].

The isothermal titration experiment of binding process of zinc ion and HSA was carried out on the VP-ITC isothermal titration calorimeter [17, 18], with the repeatability of thermal power baseline within 20nW.

Willman Spawn documents his initial forays into bookbinding history matching Philadelphia bookbinder Robert Aitken's waste-book entries to actual bindings. Spawn's legendary collection of ten thousand pencil rubbings of bindings assisted him in identifying other bindings executed by a particular bookbinder through the recognition of tool patterns.

Experiments are underway to narrow the 200-bp region of binding by using small overlapping oligonucleotides from the region and to test binding with nuclear extracts from non-hematopoietic cell lines.

This rule, called the "binding contract" rule, offers assurance that the COI requirement will be met, by allowing taxpayers to measure for COI as of the day immediately preceding the day the binding contract is executed, rather than measuring immediately before the transaction closes.

Unlike sensor systems in which receptors can bind to a variety of chemicals, this application requires one-on-one binding: for example, antibodies that grab specific proteins.

Since noroviruses can attach to carbohydrates of the ABH and Lewis histo-blood group family in humans, we also examined the possibility of a similar specific binding to oyster tissues through related carbohydrates (17,18).
