摘要: The interaction between two physiological redox partners, trimethylamine dehydrogenase and electron-transferring flavoprotein, has been characterized quantitatively by analytical ultracentrifugation at 4°C. Analysis of sedimentation-equilibrium distributions obtained 15 000 rpm for mixtures in 10 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5, means the psi function [Wills, P.R., Jacobsen, M.P. Winzor, D. J. (1996) Biopolymers 38, 119-130] yielded an intrinsic dissociation constant 3-7 μM flavoprotein with equivalent independent sites on homodimeric enzyme. This investigation indicates potential sedimentation equilibrium quantitative characterization interactions dissimilar macromolecules.
