| Abstract | The conjugate of the residue of vitamin H (biotin, Bt) with the hormone of thyroid gland thyroxin (T$_{4}$) was prepared by N-acylation of N-(3-aminopropyl)biotin amide with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of N-acetyl thyroxin. The interactions of the Bt-T$_{4}$ conjugate with one or simultaneously with two binding proteins with affinity to Bt or T$_{4}$ in solution and on a solid phase were studied by electron spectroscopy, enzyme immunoassay, and computer modeling. Bt-T$_{4}$ was specifically fixed in the Bt-binding site of the streptavidin molecule via a large number of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The maximum of the streptavidin fluorescence shifted to a long-wave area and its intensity decreased as a result of complex formation. The degree of quenching of the protein emission was significantly higher than that of the streptavidin-Bt complex. Additional fluorescence quenching resulted from interactions which were sensitive to pH, ionic strength, and detergents and stabilized the position of the thyroxin part of the conjugate near Trp120 of streptavidin in its complex with Bt-T$_{4}$. The Bt-T$_{4}$ conjugate also formed a specific equimolar complex with T$_{4}$-binding human globulin (TBG) by the same mechanism as that for T$_{4}$. The Bt residue did not participate in the interactions which changed characteristics of the TBG fluorophores. The Bt-T$_{4}$ conjugate was bound to avidin on a solid phase in the solid phase enzyme immunoassay owing to its biotin function, whereas its thyroxin part was exposed to a solution and interacted with polyclonal antibodies to T$_{4}$. The intact T$_{4}$ competitively inhibited this interaction after its addition to the system. Bt-T$_{4}$ also exhibited its bifunctional activity in other immune analytic system. The conjugate bound streptavidin was labeled with Eu$^{3+}$-chelate and subsequently formed a three component complex with participation of a monoclonal antibody to T$_{4}$ immobilized on a solid phase. Free T$_{4}$ inhibited the thyroxin function of the conjugate bound to the labeled streptavidin proportionally to its concentration in a sample of human blood serum. Parameters of the immunofluorescent analysis demonstrated that the streptavidin-Bt-T$_{4}$ complex was actively bound to the T$_{4}$-antibody, but had practically no interaction with serum T$_{4}$-binding proteins, including TBG. Probably, nonspecific interactions of the T$_{4}$ residue with streptavidin in its complex with Bt-T$_{4}$, along with steric factors, complicated penetration of thyroxin in this complex into active sites of TBG and other T$_{4}$-binding proteins of blood serum. The Bt-T$_{4}$ stable conjugate was synthesized according to a plain scheme and could be used as a bifunctional ligand of binding proteins in biochemical studies and immune analytical systems for medicinal diagnostics. |

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.
