Protein:DNA interaction
Mixed-lineage leukemia: A type of childhoodleukemia in which a piece of chromosome 11 hasbeen translocated (broken off and attached itself toanother chromosome). Children with this type ofleukemia have a particularly poor prognosis (outlook).They do not respond at all well to the standardtherapies for ALL (acute lymphoblastic or lymphocyticleukemia) and often suffer from early relapse afterchemotherapy.On both the clinical and laboratory levels,chromosome 11 childhood leukemia appearstherefore to be a distinctive disease and not a subsetof ALL. Armstrong and coworkers (Nature, Jan 2002)named it "mixed-lineage leukemia.“[MedicineNet.com]

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR): Theory
[Patching, Biochim. Biophys. Acta (2014)]
• To measure the refractive index near to a sensor surface
• Polarised light is directed through a prism to the under surface of the gold film where surface plasmons are generated at a critical angle of the incident light.
• This absorption of light is seen as a decrease in intensity of the reflected light. Resonance or response units (RU) are used to describe the increase in the signal, where 1 RU is equal to a critical angle shift of 10
− 4deg or
10-12
g mm-2
. • When a steady-state is achieved (all binding
sites occupied), the maximum RU is determined (n: No. of binding sites in Ligand)

Things to consider: Analyte concentration
• Run analyses over a wide range of analyte concentrations, ideally 100-fold or more: The range should span 10x below the Kd to 10x above the Kd.
• Accurate analyte concentration is critical!• Include a zero-concentration sample in the analyses.

Things to consider: Mass transfer
• If the diffusion rate is slower than the association rate, mass transfer effects can be observed
• Low RUL reduces analyte consumption in “no-flow zone”
• Apparent rate constants are smaller when mass transport limited binding occurs (inaccurate kinetic data)
• Work-arounds: higher flow rates, lowest ligand density
Mass transfer limitation No limitation

Things to consider: Conformational changes
• Conformational changes during interaction may cause kinetic parameters to change
• Inject analyte at a fixed concentration
• Vary contact times
• Overlay the sensorgrams
Do relative dissociation rates change? If so, a conformational change is occurring.
Confirm with other techniques.

Summary
ITC SPR, BLI
Affinity range (Kd)
nM to sub-mM(pM with competition)
nM to low mM
Pros • Thermodynamicparameters (ΔG, ΔH, ΔS)
• No immobilization
• Kinetic parameters (kon, koff)
• “Dirty” samples possible
• “Less” sample requiredHigh throughput
Cons • “More” sample required
• Lows to mediumthroughput
• Mass transfer limitation
• Immobilization artifacts
