Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol.122, No.48, 11979-11982, 2000  Mechanistic studies of affinity modulation
A synthetic ligand for the protein FKBP12 was covalently linked to a peptide ligand (pYEEI) for the Fyn SH2 protein to create a bifunctional molecule called SLFpYEEI. This bifunctional molecule can simultaneously bind both proteins to form a trimeric complex. When SLFpYEEI is precomplexed with FKBP12, the peptide ligand binds 6-fold more weakly to the Fyn SH2 domain than SLFpYEEI alone. Isotope-edited NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate the molecular basis for the observed reduction in affinity. The results suggest that interactions between the pYEEI peptide and FKBP12 may play a significant role in diminishing the affinity of SLFpYEEI for the Fyn SH2 domain.
About CrossRef  CrossRef is an independent membership association, founded and directed by publishers. CrossRef’s mandate is to connect users to primary research content, by enabling publishers to do collectively what they can’t do individually. CrossRef is also the official DOI registration agency for scholarly and professional publications. It operates a cross-publisher citation linking system that allows a researcher to click on a reference citation on one publisher’s platform and link directly to the cited content on another publisher’s platform, subject to the target publisher’s access control practices. CrossRef’s citation-linking network today covers millions of articles and other content items from several hundred scholarly and professional publishers.
