| Abstract | Sensitivity of the electron paramagnetic resonance (CW EPR) to molecular tumbling provides potential means for studying processes of molecular association. It uses spin-labeled macromolecules, whose CW EPR spectra may change upon binding to other macromolecules. When a spin-labeled molecule is mixed with its liganding partner, the EPR spectrum constitutes a linear combination of spectra of the bound and unbound ligand (as seen in our example of spin-labeled cytochrome c 2 interacting with cytochrome bc 1 complex). In principle, the fraction of each state can be extracted by the numerical decomposition of the spectrum; however, the accuracy of such decomposition may often be compromised by the lack of the spectrum of the fully bound ligand, imposed by the equilibrium nature of molecular association. To understand how this may affect the final estimation of the binding parameters, such as stoichiometry and affinity of the binding, a series of virtual titration experiments was conducted. Our non-linear regression analysis considered a case in which only a single class of binding sites exists, and a case in which classes of both specific and non-specific binding sites co-exist. The results indicate that in both models, the error due to the unknown admixture of the unbound ligand component in the EPR spectrum causes an overestimation of the bound fraction leading to the bias in the dissociation constant. At the same time, the stoichiometry of the binding remains relatively unaffected, which overall makes the decomposition of the EPR spectrum an attractive method for studying protein–protein interactions in equilibrium. Our theoretical treatment appears to be valid for any spectroscopic techniques dealing with overlapping spectra of free and bound component. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
