title: Binding of chlorpromazine to S-100 protein.
abstract: Chlorpromazine (CPZ) induces in S-100 conformational changes resulting in the exposure of titratable SH groups of the protein to the solvent. This effect is even greater in the presence of Mg2+ +/- Ca2+. S-100 possesses binding sites for CPZ. The binding of CPZ to 3 microM S-100 is half-saturated by 0.18 microM CPZ in the presence of Mg2+ plus Ca2+ and by 0.24 microM CPZ in the presence of Mg2+ plus EGTA. The extent of the binding is greater in the presence of Ca2+ than in the presence of EGTA, especially at low CPZ concentrations.
