Abstract: | Using the binding of a nucleotide inhibitor (guanosine-3'-monophosphate) to a ribonuclease (ribonuclease Sa) as a model system, we show that the salt-dependence of the interaction arises due to specific ion binding at the site of nucleotide binding. The presence of specific ion-protein binding is concluded from a combination of differential scanning calorimetry and NMR data. Isothermal titration calorimetry data are then fit to determine the energetic profile (enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity) for both the ion-protein and nucleotide-protein interactions. The results provide insight into the energetics of charge-charge interactions, and have implications for the interpretation of an observed salt-dependence. Further, the presence of specific ion-binding leads to a system behavior as a function of temperature that is drastically different from that predicted from Poisson-Boltzmann calculations. |
