Real‐Time Monitoring of Protein Conformational Dynamics in Solution Using Kinetic Capillary Electrophoresis

Abstract

Conformational analysis: Capillary electrophoresis (CE) allows for the rapid separation of slowly interconverting protein conformers. Kinetic analysis (k(open), k(closed), and K(d)) of electropherograms in the presence and absence of effector ligands allows the measurement of kinetic and thermodynamic constants associated with conformational changes and ligand binding.
