XModeScore: a novel method for accurate protonation/tautomer-state determination using quantum-mechanically driven macromolecular X-ray crystallographic refinement.

Abstract
Gaining an understanding of the protein-ligand complex structure along with the proper protonation and explicit solvent effects can be important in obtaining meaningful results in structure-guided drug discovery and structure-based drug discovery. Unfortunately, protonation and tautomerism are difficult to establish with conventional methods because of difficulties in the experimental detection of H atoms owing to the well known limitations of X-ray crystallography. In the present work, it is demonstrated that semiempirical, quantum-mechanics-based macromolecular crystallographic refinement is sensitive to the choice of a protonation-state/tautomer form of ligands and residues, and can therefore be used to explore potential states. A novel scoring method, called XModeScore, is described which enumerates the possible protomeric/tautomeric modes, refines each mode against X-ray diffraction data with the semiempirical quantum-mechanics (PM6) Hamiltonian and scores each mode using a combination of energetic strain (or ligand strain) and rigorous statistical analysis of the difference electron-density distribution. It is shown that using XModeScore it is possible to consistently distinguish the correct bound protomeric/tautomeric modes based on routine X-ray data, even at lower resolutions of around 3 Å. These X-ray results are compared with the results obtained from much more expensive and laborious neutron diffraction studies for three different examples: tautomerism in the acetazolamide ligand of human carbonic anhydrase II (PDB entries 3hs4 and 4k0s), tautomerism in the 8HX ligand of urate oxidase (PDB entries 4n9s and 4n9m) and the protonation states of the catalytic aspartic acid found within the active site of an aspartic protease (PDB entry 2jjj). In each case, XModeScore applied to the X-ray diffraction data is able to determine the correct protonation state as defined by the neutron diffraction data. The impact of QM-based refinement versus conventional refinement on XModeScore is also discussed.

Abstract
The carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) deficiency syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis (RTA) and cerebral calcifications (MIM259730). CAII deficiency syndrome is caused by mutations in the gene CAII, which encodes the enzyme carbonic anhydrase II. CAII mutations are rarely reported in the Asian population. Here, we described two unrelated CAII deficiency families of Chinese Han origin with clinical and genetic analysis. Altogether, 106 subjects, including 2 probands, 4 unaffected family members from two non-consanguineous Chinese families, and 100 healthy controls were recruited. All seven exons and the exon-intron boundaries of the CAII gene were amplified and directly sequenced. Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) was used to study the effect of splice site mutation. All clinical and biochemical parameters of the probands were collected. Two novel mutations of CAII gene were identified by mutational analysis: A nonsense mutation in exon 4 (c.T381C p.Y127X) in both families; a splice mutation at the splice donor site of intron 3 (c.350+2T>C, IVS3+2T>C) in one family. The splice-site mutation causes exon 3 skipping in patient's mRNA resulting in an in-frame deletion and a novel premature stop codon. These mutations were predicted to result in a loss of function of CAII. This is the first report of CAII deficiency syndrome in Chinese population. Our findings extent the spectrum of CAII mutations observed in patients with CAII deficiency syndrome.

Abstract
Solid materials for affinity resins bearing long PEG spacers between a functional group used for immobilization of a bio-active compound and the solid surface were synthesized to capture not only small target proteins but also large and/or complex target proteins. Solid materials with PEG1000 or PEG2000 as spacers, which bear a benzenesulfonamide derivative, exhibited excellent selectivity between the specific binding protein carbonic anhydrase type II (CAII) and non-specific ones. These materials also exhibited efficacy in capturing a particular target at a maximal amount. Affinity resins using solid materials with PEG1000 or PEG2000 spacers, bear a FK506 derivative, successfully captured the whole target complex of specific binding proteins at the silver staining level, while all previously known affinity resins with solid materials failed to achieve this objective. These novel affinity resins captured other specific binding proteins such as dynamin and neurocalcin δ as well.

Abstract
Human carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a well-studied, robust, mononuclear Zn-containing metalloprotein that serves as an excellent biological ligand system to study the thermodynamics associated with metal ion coordination chemistry in aqueous solution. The apo form of human carbonic anhydrase II (CA) binds 2 equiv of copper(II) with high affinity. The Cu(2+) ions bind independently forming two noncoupled type II copper centers in CA (CuA and CuB). However, the location and coordination mode of the CuA site in solution is unclear, compared to the CuB site that has been well-characterized. Using paramagnetic NMR techniques and X-ray absorption spectroscopy we identified an N-terminal Cu(2+) binding location and collected information on the coordination mode of the CuA site in CA, which is consistent with a four- to five-coordinate N-terminal Cu(2+) binding site reminiscent to a number of N-terminal copper(II) binding sites including the copper(II)-amino terminal Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) and copper(II)-β-amyloid complexes. Additionally, we report a more detailed analysis of the thermodynamics associated with copper(II) binding to CA. Although we are still unable to fully deconvolute Cu(2+) binding data to the high-affinity CuA site, we derived pH- and buffer-independent values for the thermodynamics parameters K and ΔH associated with Cu(2+) binding to the CuB site of CA to be 2 × 10(9) and -17.4 kcal/mol, respectively.

Abstract
A scoring method for the prediction of catalytically important residues in enzyme structures is presented and used to examine the participation of distal residues in enzyme catalysis. Scores are based on the Partial Order Optimum Likelihood (POOL) machine learning method, using computed electrostatic properties, surface geometric features, and information obtained from the phylogenetic tree as input features. Predictions of distal residue participation in catalysis are compared with experimental kinetics data from the literature on variants of the featured enzymes; some additional kinetics measurements are reported for variants of Pseudomonas putida nitrile hydratase (ppNH) and for Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (AP). The multilayer active sites of P. putida nitrile hydratase and of human phosphoglucose isomerase are predicted by the POOL log ZP scores, as is the single-layer active site of P. putida ketosteroid isomerase. The log ZP score cutoff utilized here results in over-prediction of distal residue involvement in E. coli alkaline phosphatase. While fewer experimental data points are available for P. putida mandelate racemase and for human carbonic anhydrase II, the POOL log ZP scores properly predict the previously reported participation of distal residues.

Abstract
Introducing nongenetically encoded, synthetic probes into specific proteins is now recognized as a key component in chemical biology. In particular, the ability to chemically modify specific "native" proteins in various contexts from in vitro to cellular systems is of fundamental importance to study biological systems. We developed a protein-labeling technique termed ligand-directed tosyl (LDT) chemistry for this purpose. This method is capable of labeling specific native proteins with diverse synthetic probes with high site specificity and target selectivity without compromising protein function. Here we describe the principle of the LDT chemistry and the protocol for selective chemical labeling of native carbonic anhydrase in vitro, in blood cells (ex vivo), and in living mice (in vivo).

Abstract
The binding of anions to carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) has been attributed to high affinity for the active-site zinc. An anion of interest is cyanate, for which contrasting binding modes have been reported in the literature. Previous spectroscopic data have shown cyanate behaving as an inhibitor, directly binding to the zinc, in contrast to previous crystallographic data that implied that cyanate acts as a substrate mimic that is not directly bound to the zinc but overlaps with the binding site of the substrate CO2. Wild-type and the V207I variant of CA II have been expressed and X-ray crystal structures of their cyanate complexes have been determined to 1.7 and 1.5 Å resolution, respectively. The rationale for the V207I CA II variant was its close proximity to the CO2-binding site. Both structures clearly show that the cyanate binds directly to the zinc. In addition, inhibition constants (∼40 µM) were measured using (18)O-exchange mass spectrometry for wild-type and V207I CA II and were similar to those determined previously (Supuran et al., 1997). Hence, it is concluded that under the conditions of these experiments the binding of cyanate to CA II is directly to the zinc, displacing the zinc-bound solvent molecule, and not in a site that overlaps with the CO2 substrate-binding site.

Abstract
The enzymatic activity of human carbonic anhydrase II (HCAII) was studied in the presence of nanoparticles of different nature and charge. Negatively charged nanoparticles inhibit HCAII whereas no effect is seen for positively charged particles. The kinetic effects were correlated with the strength of binding of the enzyme to the particle surface as measured by ITC and adsorption assays. Moreover, conformational changes upon adsorption were observed by circular dichroism. The main initial driving force for the adsorption of HCAII to nanoparticles is of electrostatic nature whereas the hydrophobic effect is not strong enough to drive the initial binding. This is corroborated by the fact that HCAII do not adsorb on positively charged hydrophobic polystyrene nanoparticles. Furthermore, the dehydration of the particle and protein surface seems to play an important role in the inactivation of HCAII by carboxyl-modified polystyrene nanoparticles. On the other hand, the inactivation by unmodified polystyrene nanoparticles is mainly driven by intramolecular interactions established between the protein and the nanoparticle surface upon conformational changes in the protein.

Abstract
In vitro inhibition effects of indolylchalcones and new pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives on purified human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and II) were investigated by using CO2 as a substrate. The results showed that all compounds inhibited the hCA I and hCA II enzyme activities. Among all the synthesized compounds, 7e (IC50 = 6.79 µM) was found to be the most active compound for hCA I inhibitory activity and 5 g (IC50 = 7.22 µM) showed the highest hCA II inhibitory activity. Structure-activity relationships study showed that indolylchalcone derivatives have higher inhibitory activities than pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives on hCA I and hCA II. Additionally, methyl group bonded to uracil ring increases inhibitory activities on both hCA I and hCA II.

Abstract
Some new aromatic/heteroaromatic propanesulfonylhydrazone derivatives (1-8) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, LC/MS techniques. The geometry optimizations and spectral calculations were performed by using DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) basis set in Gaussian 09 program. The inhibition activities of the synthesized compounds on carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) isoenzyme have been investigated by comparing IC50 values. Acetazolamide (5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide) AAZ, a clinically used in CAII inhibition has also been investigated as standard inhibitor. The best aromatic/heteroaromatic propanesulfonylhydrazone inhibitors of this isoform were o-aminobenzaldehydepropanesulfonylhydrazone (1) and thiophenecarboxyaldehyde propanesulfonylhydrazone (5) having the same IC50 (0.55 mM) value. The molecular descriptors for propanesulfonylhydrazones were obtained to develop structure activity relationship (SAR) model between experimental IC50 values and the molecular descriptors calculated by PM3-based SAR models in Hyperchem 8, respectively. The obtained models confirm the good carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) inhibition activity of the propanesulfonylhydrazone derivatives. The selected descriptors are sensitive both to the imine (CH=N) and NH2 groups that are responsible from higher activities of (1) and (5) in their series.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking is an attractive low-resolution technique for structural studies of protein complexes. Distance constraints obtained from cross-linked peptides identified by mass spectrometry (MS) are used to construct and validate protein models. Amidinating cross-linkers such as diethyl suberthioimidate (DEST) have been used successfully in chemical cross-linking experiments. In this work, the application of a commercial diimidate cross-linking reagent, dimethyl suberimidate (DMS), was evaluated with model peptides and proteins. The peptides were designed with acetylated N-termini followed by random sequences containing two Lys residues separated by an Arg residue. After cross-linking reactions, intra- and intermolecular cross-linked species were submitted to CID and ECD dissociations to study their fragmentation features in the gas phase. Fragmentation of intramolecular peptides by collision induced dissociation (CID) demonstrates a unique two-step fragmentation pathway involving formation of a ketimine as intermediate. Electron capture and electron transfer dissociation (ECD and ETD) experiments demonstrated that the cyclic moiety is not dissociated. Intermolecular species demonstrated previously described fragmentation behavior in both CID and ECD experiments. The charge state distributions (CSD) obtained after reaction with DMS were compared with those obtained with disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS). CSDs for peptides and proteins were increased after their reaction with DMS, owing to the higher basicity of DMS modified species. These features were also observed in LC-MS experiments with bovine carbonic anhydrase II (BCA) after cross-linking with DMS and tryptic proteolysis. Cross-linked peptides derived from this protein were identified at high confidence and those species were in agreement with the crystal structure of BCA.

Abstract
A series of 4 and 5 nitro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl benzenesulfonamide derivatives (compounds 1-8) was synthesized by reaction of benzenesulfonamide derivatives with 4 and 3-nitrophthalic anhydrides. These new sulfonamides were investigated as inhibitors of the zinc metalloenzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) and more specifically against the human (h) cytosolic isoforms hCA I and II and the transmembrane, tumor-associated hCA IX and XII. Most of the novel compounds were medium potency-weak hCA I inhibitors (Kis in the range of 295-10,000 nM), but were more effective hCA II inhibitors (Kis of 1.7-887 nM). The tumor-associated hCA IX was also inhibited, with Kis in the micromolar range, whereas against hCA XII the inhibition constants were in the range of 90-3,746 nM. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) with this series of sulfonamides is straightforward, with the main features leading to good activity for each isoforms being established. The high sequence hCA alignment homology and molecular docking studies was performed in order to rationalize the activities reported and binding mode to different hCA as inhibitors.

Abstract
The carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a family of mostly zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate and a proton. Recently, there has been industrial interest in utilizing CAs as biocatalysts for carbon sequestration and biofuel production. The conditions used in these processes, however, result in high temperatures and acidic pH. This unfavorable environment results in rapid destabilization and loss of catalytic activity in CAs, ultimately resulting in cost-inefficient high-maintenance operation of the system. In order to negate these detrimental industrial conditions, cysteines at residues 23 (Ala23Cys) and 203 (Leu203Cys) were engineered into a wild-type variant of human CA II (HCAII) containing the mutation Cys206Ser. The X-ray crystallographic structure of the disulfide-containing HCAII (dsHCAII) was solved to 1.77 Å resolution and revealed that successful oxidation of the cysteine bond was achieved while also retaining desirable active-site geometry. Kinetic studies utilizing the measurement of (18)O-labeled CO2 by mass spectrometry revealed that dsHCAII retained high catalytic efficiency, and differential scanning calorimetry showed acid stability and thermal stability that was enhanced by up to 14 K compared with native HCAII. Together, these studies have shown that dsHCAII has properties that could be used in an industrial setting to help to lower costs and improve the overall reaction efficiency.

Abstract
The novel 4-(4-oxo-2-arylthiazolidin-3-yl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized for selective carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) inhibitory activity with anticancer potential. In the CA inhibition assay, 3f was found to be the most potent and selective inhibitor of CA IX with inhibitory constant (K(I)) value of 2.2 nM. Among the synthesized compounds, 3f showed IC₅₀ values of 5.03 μg/ml (cisplatin: 6.56 μg/ml), 5.81 μg/ml (cisplatin: 5.85 μg/ml), and 23.93 μg/ml (cisplatin: 2.75 μg/ml) against COLO-205, MDA-MB-231, and DU-145 cell lines, respectively. At IC₅₀, 3f caused cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, and nuclear fragmentation events characteristic to apoptosis in the Hoechst 33258 and acridine orange-ethidium bromide staining studies of COLO-205 cells. In the Dalton's lymphoma ascites (DLA) solid tumor model 3f decreased tumor volume by 64.83% (cisplatin: 71.62%), while increase in mean body weight was found to be only 4.09% (cisplatin: 3.47%).

Abstract
Protein X-ray crystallography has seen a progressive shift from data collection at cool/room temperature (277-298 K) to data collection at cryotemperature (100 K) because of its ease of crystal preparation and the lessening of the detrimental effects of radiation-induced crystal damage, with 20-25%(v/v) glycerol (GOL) being the preferred choice of cryoprotectant. Here, a case study of the effects of cryoprotectants on the kinetics of carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) and its inhibition by the clinically used inhibitor acetazolamide (AZM) is presented. Comparative studies of crystal structure, kinetics, inhibition and thermostability were performed on CA II and its complex with AZM in the presence of either GOL or sucrose. These results suggest that even though the cryoprotectant GOL was previously shown to be directly bound in the active site and to interact with AZM, it affects neither the thermostability of CA II nor the binding of AZM in the crystal structure or in solution. However, addition of GOL does affect the kinetics of CA II, presumably as it displaces the water proton-transfer network in the active site.

Abstract
Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a powerful method for investigating conformational changes in proteins and therefore has numerous applications in structural and molecular biology. Here a computational investigation of the CD spectrum of the Human Carbonic Anhydrase II (HCAII), with main focus on the near-UV CD spectra of the wild-type enzyme and it seven tryptophan mutant forms, is presented and compared to experimental studies. Multilevel computational methods (Molecular Dynamics, Semiempirical Quantum Mechanics, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory) were applied in order to gain insight into the mechanisms of interaction between the aromatic chromophores within the protein environment and understand how the conformational flexibility of the protein influences these mechanisms. The analysis suggests that combining CD semi empirical calculations, crystal structures and molecular dynamics (MD) could help in achieving a better agreement between the computed and experimental protein spectra and provide some unique insight into the dynamic nature of the mechanisms of chromophore interactions.

Abstract
Silica nanoparticle supported imidazolium ionic liquid [SNImIL] was synthesized and utilized as a biocompatible additive for studying the thermal reversibility of human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II). For this purpose, we prepared additive by modification of nanoparticles through the grafting of ionic liquids on the surface of nanoparticles (SNImIL). The SNImIL were fully characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis. The characterization of HCA II was investigated by various techniques including UV-vis and ANS fluorescence spectrophotometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and docking study. SNImIL induced disaggregation, enhanced protein stability and increased thermal reversibility of HCA II by up to 42% at pH 7.75.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA, general abbreviation for human carbonic anhydrase II) is a well-studied, zinc-dependent metalloenzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of carbon dioxide to the bicarbonate ion. The apo-form of CA (apoCA, CA where Zn(2+) ion has been removed) is relatively easy to generate, and reconstitution of the human erythrocyte CA has been initially investigated. In the past, these studies have continually relied on equilibrium dialysis measurements to ascertain an extremely strong association constant (K(a) ≈ 1.2 × 10(12)) for Zn(2+). However, new reactivity data and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) data reported herein call that number into question. As shown in the ITC experiments, the catalytic site binds a stoichiometric quantity of Zn(2+) with a strong equilibrium constant (K(a) ≈ 2 × 10(9)) that is 3 orders of magnitude lower than the previously established value. Thermodynamic parameters associated with Zn(2+) binding to apoCA are unraveled from a series of complex equilibria associated with the in vitro metal binding event. This in-depth analysis adds clarity to the complex ion chemistry associated with zinc binding to carbonic anhydrase and validates thermochemical methods that accurately measure association constants and thermodynamic parameters for complex-ion and coordination chemistry observed in vitro. Additionally, the zinc sites in both the as-isolated and the reconstituted ZnCA (active CA containing a mononuclear Zn(2+) center) were probed using X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Both X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses indicate the zinc center in the reconstituted carbonic anhydrase is nearly identical to that of the as-isolated protein and confirm the notion that the metal binding data reported herein is the reconstitution of the zinc active site of human CA II.

Abstract
This study reports the interaction between furosemide and human carbonic anhydrase II (hCA II) using fluorescence, UV-vis and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Fluorescence data indicated that furosemide quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of the enzyme via a static mechanism and hydrogen bonding and van der Walls interactions play the major role in the drug binding. The binding average distance between furosemide and hCA II was estimated on the basis of the theory of Förster energy transfer. Decrease of protein surface hydrophobicity was also documented upon furosemide binding. Chemical modification of hCA II using N-bromosuccinimide indicated decrease of the number of accessible tryptophans in the presence of furosemide. CD results suggested the occurance of some alterations in α-helical content as well as tertiary structure of hCA II upon drug binding.

Abstract
This article describes the use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to examine the influence of different cations (C(+); C(+) = Na(+) and tetra-n-alkylammonium, NR(4)(+), where R = Me, Et, Pr, and Bu) on the rates of denaturation of bovine carbonic anhydrase II (BCA) in the presence of anionic surfactant dodecylsulfate (DS(-)). An analysis of the denaturation of BCA in solutions of Na(+)DS(-) and NR(4)(+)DS(-) (in Tris-Gly buffer) indicated that the rates of formation of complexes of denatured BCA with DS(-) (BCA(D)-DS(-)(n,sat)) are indistinguishable and independent of the cation below the critical micellar concentration (cmc) and independent of the total concentration of DS(-) above the cmc. At concentrations of C(+)DS(-) above the cmc, BCA denatured at rates that depended on the cation; the rates decreased by a factor >10(4) in the order of Na(+) ≈ NMe(4)(+) > NEt(4)(+) > NPr(4)(+) > NBu(4)(+), which is the same order as the values of the cmc (which decrease from 4.0 mM for Na(+)DS(-) to 0.9 mM for NBu(4)(+)DS(-) in Tris-Gly buffer). The relationship between the cmc values and the rates of formation of BCA(D)-DS(-)(n,sat()) suggested that the kinetics of denaturation of BCA involve the association of this protein with monomeric DS(-) rather than with micelles of (C(+)DS(-))(n). A less-detailed survey of seven other proteins (α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin A, β-lactoglobulin B, carboxypeptidase B, creatine phosphokinase, myoglobin, and ubiquitin) showed that the difference between Na(+)DS(-) and NR(4)(+)DS(-) observed with BCA was not general. Instead, the influence of NR(4)(+) on the association of DS(-) with these proteins depended on the protein. The selection of the cation contributed to the properties (including the composition, electrophoretic mobility, and partitioning behavior in aqueous two-phase systems) of aggregates of denatured protein and DS(-). These results suggest that the variation in the behavior of NR(4)(+)DS(-) with changes in R may be exploited in methods used to analyze and separate mixtures of proteins.

Abstract
The hydrophobic effect, the free-energetically favorable association of nonpolar solutes in water, makes a dominant contribution to binding of many systems of ligands and proteins. The objective of this study was to examine the hydrophobic effect in biomolecular recognition using two chemically different but structurally similar hydrophobic groups, aliphatic hydrocarbons and aliphatic fluorocarbons, and to determine whether the hydrophobicity of the two groups could be distinguished by thermodynamic and biostructural analysis. This paper uses isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to examine the thermodynamics of binding of benzenesulfonamides substituted in the para position with alkyl and fluoroalkyl chains (H(2)NSO(2)C(6)H(4)-CONHCH(2)(CX(2))(n)CX(3), n = 0-4, X = H, F) to human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II). Both alkyl and fluoroalkyl substituents contribute favorably to the enthalpy and the entropy of binding; these contributions increase as the length of chain of the hydrophobic substituent increases. Crystallography of the protein-ligand complexes indicates that the benzenesulfonamide groups of all ligands examined bind with similar geometry, that the tail groups associate with the hydrophobic wall of HCA II (which is made up of the side chains of residues Phe131, Val135, Pro202, and Leu204), and that the structure of the protein is indistinguishable for all but one of the complexes (the longest member of the fluoroalkyl series). Analysis of the thermodynamics of binding as a function of structure is compatible with the hypothesis that hydrophobic binding of both alkyl and fluoroalkyl chains to hydrophobic surface of carbonic anhydrase is due primarily to the release of nonoptimally hydrogen-bonded water molecules that hydrate the binding cavity (including the hydrophobic wall) of HCA II and to the release of water molecules that surround the hydrophobic chain of the ligands. This study defines the balance of enthalpic and entropic contributions to the hydrophobic effect in this representative system of protein and ligand: hydrophobic interactions, here, seem to comprise approximately equal contributions from enthalpy (plausibly from strengthening networks of hydrogen bonds among molecules of water) and entropy (from release of water from configurationally restricted positions).

Abstract
This paper describes the development of a new bivalent system comprising synthetic dimers of carbonic anhydrase linked chemically through thiol groups of cysteine residues introduced by site-directed mutagenesis. These compounds serve as models with which to study the interaction of bivalent proteins with ligands presented at the surface of mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Monovalent carbonic anhydrase (CA) binds to benzenesulfonamide ligands presented on the surface of the SAM with K(d)(surf) = 89 nM. The synthetic bivalent proteins--inspired by the structure of immunoglobulins--bind bivalently to the sulfonamide-functionalized SAMs with low nanomolar avidities (K(d)(avidity,surf) = 1-3 nM); this difference represents a ~50-fold enhancement of bivalent over monovalent association. The paper describes dimers of CA having (i) different lengths of the covalent linker that joined the two proteins and (ii) different points of attachment of the linker to the protein (either near the active site (C133) or distal to the active site (C185)). Comparison of the thermodynamics of their interactions with SAMs presenting arylsulfonamide groups demonstrated that varying the length of the linker between the molecules of CA had virtually no effect on the rate of association, or on the avidity of these dimers with ligand-presenting surfaces. Varying the point of attachment of the linker between monomeric CA's also had almost no effect on the avidity of the dimers, although changing the point of attachment affected the rates of binding and unbinding. These observations indicate that the avidities of these bivalent proteins, and by inference the avidities of structurally similar bivalent proteins such as IgG, are unexpectedly insensitive to the structure of the linker connecting them.

Abstract
The polypeptide backbones of a few proteins are tied in a knot. The biophysical effects and potential biological roles of knots are not well understood. Here, we test the consequences of protein knotting by taking a monomeric protein, carbonic anhydrase II, whose native structure contains a shallow knot, and polymerizing it end-to-end to form a deeply and multiply knotted polymeric filament. Thermal stability experiments show that the polymer is stabilized against loss of structure and aggregation by the presence of deep knots.

Abstract
In the study of 1:1 binding by isothermal titration calorimetry, reagent concentration errors are fully absorbed in the data analysis, giving incorrect values for the key parameters--K, ΔH, and n--with no effect on the least-squares statistics. Reanalysis of results from an interlaboratory study of a selected biochemical process demonstrates that concentration errors are likely responsible for most of the overall statistical error in these parameters. The concentration errors are approximately 10%, greatly exceeding expected levels. Furthermore, examination of selected data sets reveals a surprising sensitivity to the baseline, suggesting a need for great care in treating dilution heats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbonic anhydrase (CA) of the chicken has attracted attention for a long time because it has an important role in the eggshell formation. The developmental profile of CA-II isozyme levels in chicken erythrocytes has not been determined or reported. Furthermore, the relations with CA-II in erythrocyte and egg production are not discussed. In the present study, we isolated CA-II from erythrocytes of chickens and determined age-related changes of CA-II levels in erythrocytes. METHODS Chicken CA-II was purified by a combination of column chromatography. The levels of CA-II in the hemolysate of the chicken were determined using the ELISA system in blood samples from 279 female chickens, ages 1 to 93 weeks, 69 male chickens, ages 3 to 59 weeks and 52 weeks female Araucana-chickens. RESULTS The mean concentration of CA-II in hemolysate from 1-week-old female was 50.8 ± 11.9 mg/g of Hb. The mean levels of CA-II in 25-week-old (188.1 ± 82.6 mg/g of Hb), 31-week-old (193.6 ± 69.7 mg/g of Hb) and 49-week-old (203.8 ± 123.5 mg/g of Hb) female-chickens showed the highest level of CA-II. The levels of CA-II in female WL-chickens significantly decreased at 63 week (139.0 ± 19.3 mg/g of Hb). The levels of CA-II in female WL-chicken did not change from week 63 until week 93.The mean level of CA-II in hemolysate of 3-week-old male WL-chickens was 78.3 ± 20.7 mg/g of Hb. The levels of CA-II in male WL-chickens did not show changes in the week 3 to week 59 timeframe. The mean level of CA-II in 53-week-old female Araucana-chickens was 23.4 ± 1.78 mg/g of Hb. These levels of CA-II were about 11% of those of 49-week-old female WL-chickens. Simple linear regression analysis showed significant associations between the level of CA-II and egg laying rate from 16 week-old at 63 week-old WL-chicken (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Developmental changes and sexual differences of CA-II concentration in WL-chicken erythrocytes were observed. The concentration of CA-II in the erythrocyte of WL-chicken was much higher than that in Araucana-chicken (p<0.01).
