Generality and specificity of the binding behaviour of lysozyme with pectin varying in local charge density and overall charge KU Leuven
We examined the similarities and differences of the binding behavior of lysozyme (lys) with pectin varying in local charge density (blockwise distribution and statistical distribution of methoxyl groups, BP and SP) and similar degree of methoxylation (DM). The interaction at ionic strength I = 0.01 and pH 5.1 was found to be mainly electrostatic, associated with an exothermic enthalpy change. BP which is more inclined to self-association binds ...
