| Abstract | Interaction with 8-anilino-1-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) is widely used to detect molten globule states of proteins. We have found that even with stable partially folded states, the development of the fluorescence enhancements resulting from such interactions can be relatively slow and kinetically complex. This is probably because initial binding of the dye can induce subsequent changes in the protein structure, so that the ultimate resulting fluorescence enhancement is not necessarily a good, nonperturbing probe of the preexisting state of the protein. When ANS is used to study folding mechanisms the problem is compounded by the difficulty of distinguishing effects due to the development of dye interactions from those due to the changing populations of folding intermediates. Many of these complications can be avoided by experiments where the ANS is introduced only after folding has been allowed to proceed for a variable time. The initial fluorescence intensity after mixing, resulting only from rapid and therefore hopefully relatively nonperturbing interactions with the protein, can be monitored at different refolding times to provide a better reflection of the progress of the reaction, uncomplicated by dye interaction effects. Such studies of the folding of carbonic anhydrase and alpha-lactalbumin have been compared with conventional single-mix experiments and large discrepancies observed. When ANS was present throughout refolding, time-dependent changes attributed to the formation or reorganization of protein-ANS complexes were clearly superimposed on those associated with the actual progress of refolding, and the folding kinetics and population of intermediates were also substantially perturbed by the dye. Thus, it is clear that the pulse method, though cumbersome, should be used where refolding reactions are to be probed by dye binding. The results emphasize that fluorescence enhancement tends to be greatest in early intermediates, in contrast to what, for carbonic anhydrase at least, might appear to be the case from the more conventional experiments. Later intermediates in the folding of both of these proteins actually induce little fluorescence enhancement and therefore may be quite different in nature from equilibrium molten globule states. |

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.
