title: Application of affinity capillary electrophoresis for the determination of binding and thermodynamic constants of enediynes with bovine serum albumin.
abstract: The binding constants and thermodynamic properties of a series of novel enediyne compounds with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were determined. The enediynes were synthesized, characterized, and then studied by affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) methods to derive these recognition parameters. Change in electrophoretic mobility of BSA as a function of enediyne concentration was determined at 25 degrees C providing binding constants of 1.76 x 10(5), 1.14 x 10(5), and 0.68 x 10(5) M(-1) for enediynephenylalanine carboxylic acid, enediynephenylalanine methyl ester, and enediyne carboxylic acid, respectively. The binding constant for the enediynephenylalanine carboxylic acid was in good agreement with that obtained using conventional methodology. Binding constants for the interaction of enediynes with BSA decreased with an increase in temperature. Van't Hoff plots showed a direct correlation between intensity of the binding constant and the sign and magnitude of various thermodynamic parameters (DeltaG, DeltaS, and/or DeltaH).
