Notes:
Affino-titration curves, a variant of conventional affino-electrophoresis techniques, allow the simultaneous determination of protein-ligand dissociation constants (Kd) and of their pH-dependence in the pH range 3-10. If the ligand is a macromolecule, it is simply entrapped in the gel matrix; if it is a small molecule, it is covalently bound to the gel fibers. When a titration curve of a protein is run in presence of increasing amounts of ligand in the gel, the progressively decreasing mobilities, when plotted against the ligand molarity in the gel, can be used to calculate Kd's at any pH value. This technique has been used to measure the dissociation constants of glycogen with phosphorylases a and b, and their pH-dependence.
