pubmed:abstractText |
Site-specific variants of rat intestinal fatty acid-binding protein were constructed to identify the molecular interactions that are important for binding to fatty acids (FAs). Several variants displayed affinities that appeared incompatible with the crystal structure of the protein-FA complex. Thermodynamic measurements provided an explanation for these apparent inconsistencies and revealed that binding affinities often inaccurately reported changes in protein-FA interactions because changes in the binding entropy and enthalpy were usually compensatory. These results demonstrate that understanding the effects of amino acid replacements on ligand binding requires measurements of enthalpy and entropy, in addition to affinity.
