Dieser Artikel behandelt die Bindung von Liganden, wie Metallionen, an Proteine und die anschließende Charakterisierung dieser Komplexe mittels Affinitätskapillarelektrophorese. Die Methodik umfasst die Vorbereitung einer Glaskapillare, deren Spülung mit EDTA und die Analyse der Migrationsmuster von Proteinen in Anwesenheit und Abwesenheit von Liganden.
This method enables direct assessment of protein-ligand binding through measurable shifts in electrophoretic mobility, providing a label-free approach to evaluate interaction strength. It supports early-stage target validation by quantifying how ligands alter protein charge and conformation, informing go/no-go decisions in lead identification. The technique offers a reproducible platform for screening charged ligands such as metal ions against protein targets, reducing mechanistic ambiguity in discovery workflows.
The method fits within early discovery workflows where binding affinity and specificity are evaluated before committing resources to optimization. It complements primary screening by offering orthogonal validation of hits through physical interaction metrics. Data generated can inform structure-activity relationships and support decisions on lead progression.
