A fluorescently labeled ligand for the 5-HT3 serotonin receptor was synthesized and its sub-nanomolar affinity for the purified, detergent solubilized receptor was measured. The change in the ligand's fluorescence upon receptor binding was used to directly ...
The present invention provides novel methods for detecting the incorporation of a nucleotide after a single base extension reaction. The methods make use of the Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) effect generated by two fluorophores linked to th ...
The thermodn. and kinetics of ligand binding to the purified serotonin 5HT3 receptor and the local environment of the bound ligand were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy using a novel fluorescein-labeled ligand GR-flu [1,2,3,9-tetrahydro-3-[(5-methyl-1H ...
The ability of organisms, or individual cells, to react to external chemical signals, which are detected and transduced by cell-surface receptors, is crucial for their survival. These receptors are the targets of the majority of clinically used medicines. ...
The 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor of type 3 was investigated by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). Binding constants of fluorescently labeled ligands, the stoichiometry, and the mass of the receptor are readily accessible by this technique, while ...
We have measured fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a fluorescent antagonist, bound to the purified detergent-solubilized serotonin type 3 receptor, and a lipophilic acceptor probe partitioned into the micelle surrounding the detergent-s ...
In this work, the specific and nonspecific binding of proteins to planar surfaces was investigated. The surfaces were first modified by the spontaneous adsorption of a number of synthesized 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine lipids with different ...
A review with 6 refs. of the authors' work in developing a biophys. technique to investigate the structure, function and dynamics of membrane receptors. A fluorescence-based approach has been developed and applied to the prototypic G protein-coupled recept ...
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor from Torpedo was immobilised in tethered membranes. Surface plasmon resonance was used to quantify the binding of ligands and antibodies to the receptor. The orientation and structural integrity of the surface-reconstit ...
A fluorescent unnatural amino acid was introduced biosynthetically at known sites into the G protein-coupled neurokinin (tachykinin) NK2 receptor by suppression of UAG nonsense codons with the aid of a chem. misacylated synthetic tRNA specifically designed ...
