3 Boundary shapes for a heterogeneous reaction with different binding kinetics effect of protein size A+B AB, concentration equimolar at K D with koff = e-2, e-, e-4, e-5 A = 0 kda, B = 50 kda A = 90 kda, B = 50 kda bimodal boundary for 2component mixture smaller size diminishes characteristic features from reaction kinetics

4 Boundary shapes for a heterogeneous reaction with different binding kinetics c(s) curves from slow to fast reactions log(k off ) instant. c(s) s-value (S) c(s) curves can be used to diagnose kinetic regime J.

5 Boundary shapes for a heterogeneous reaction with different binding kinetics limitations diffusion does reduce information on kinetics, reaction scheme, therefore small proteins will be more difficult interpretation of boundary broadening is exquisitely sensitive to everything that made already the determination of molar mass difficult: (micro)-heterogeneity, multiple conformations, glycosylation sensitivity only over a narrow range of time-constants, given by the sedimentation time: best for ~ /sec describing kinetic models possible, but depend on parameters that are frequently ill-defined by the experiment need less detailed models, which permit to quantitatively analyze interactions in SV based on the strength of SV: separation in mixtures J.

6 c(s) curves from analysis of self-association and hetero-association slow ( /sec) fast (0.005/sec) self-association hetero-association c(s) analysis of reaction boundary may result in broad distribution rms error can go up apparent f/f 0 may be smaller than real f/f 0 (sometimes < ) for slow systems, c(s) gives peak positions of species for fast systems, c(s) gives undisturbed boundary and approximations of asymptotic reaction boundary

7 Boundary shapes for a heterogeneous reaction with different binding kinetics c(s) curves from slow to fast reactions log(k off ) instant. c(s) s-value (S) c(s) curves can be used to diagnose kinetic regime c(s) shows either populations of species, or something in between how does this work? peak s-values do not coincide well with species s-values why? what do these curves mean, and how can they be used quantitatively?

8 Constant Bath Approximation: Krauss, Pingoud, Boehme, Riesner, Peters, Maass. Eur. J. Biochem. (975) Example: A + B AB ( ) a a = D r s ω r a + q t r r r r r 2 2 a a a ( ) b b = D r s ω r b + q t r r r r r 2 2 b b b ( ) c c = D r s ω r c + q t r r r r r 2 2 c c c coupled with reaction fluxes q a =q b = q c =k on ab k off c K D =k on /k off (K D = ab/c for instant. reaction) system of Lamm equations what if A was small and would not exhibit a spatial gradient? a r = 0 fast reaction c r = Ka b r add Lamm eq. for b + c ( ) 2 2 ( ) ( ) b c b + = D + KaD r s + Kas ω r b + q + q t t r r r r r b c b c b c introduce new variable for b+c β β = b+ c * β * 2 = D r s ω ( r 2 β) t r r r r r non-interacting single-species Lamm equation D D + KaD s + Kas =, s = + Ka + Ka * b c * b c J.

9 Constant Bath Approximation: cannot be strictly fulfilled, since A, B, and C are always in mass action law equilibrium there will be a gradient of A. how large is this gradient? can this be a realistic and useful limiting case for protein-protein interactions? address this questions using Lamm equation solutions for instantaneous reaction of proteins A = 00 kda, B = 200 kda s A = 7 S, s B = 0 S, s AB = S equimolar concentration at Kd = 0 um two boundaries: free A at 7 S reaction boundary signal (OD) fit with 2 species model: s = 7.02 S (expect 7.0 S) s 2 =.5 S (s* =.4 S) M A = 8.4 kda ( 7 % ) M B = 98 kda ( 25%) rmsd = residuals radius (cm) diffusion coefficients quantitatively not very precise, but s-values very good excellent description why?

10 indeed the first boundary is of free A there is free A in the fast boundary there is some gradient of free A however: free A changes from 76 to 97 % where free B goes from 0 to 90% mass action law causes the fractional occupation of B (i.e. C/(B+C)) to vary only between 0 to 5% this means that the gradient in A does not lead to a big change in the pseudo-species B+C constituting the fast boundary in the the constant bath theory. Therefore, overall description good. (the dispersion in s caused by the finite range of C/(B+C) does show up in a slight increase in D; how to treat the dispersion in terms of range of s-values will be topic of Gilbert-Jenkins theory later) the big result here is that, in a first approximation, diffusion of the reaction boundary is very similar to that of a single species. consistent s-values of the fast boundary with s* from constant bath theory

30 pretty consistent, enough to convince conceptually OK but not 00% identical (maximum entropy regularization, linear Lamm equation model) how to utilize that quantitatively? INTEGRATE weight-average s-value of of boundary components, and amplitudes compare with theoretical values from GJT, also integrated corresponds to a BOUNDARY SHAPE analysis without requirements of Lamm equation modeling in global model with weight-average in global model with different signals/wavelengths J.

43 Summary of c(s) analysis of reacting systems: c(s) approximately deconvolutes diffusion from reaction boundaries c(s) distributions are approximations of the asymptotic boundary from Gilbert- Jenkins theory Gilbert-Jenkins modeling of c(s) can be quantitatively used to model isotherms of reaction boundary, in addition to s w (c) higher confidence in K D and s complex characteristic information on stoichiometry takes advantage of bimodal boundary structure, without need for detailed Lamm eq. modeling (can of course be used, afterwards, too, using parameter estimates) J.

44 Summary of c(s) based analysis methods for reacting systems second-moment method: mass balance a) integrate all c(s) peaks at once b) model weight-average (signal-average) s w (c) with isotherm model for fast reactions: bi-modal boundary according to Gilbert-Jenkins theory a) integrate fast and slow c(s) peaks b) model signal-average s(c) of fast boundary with isotherm model c) model amplitudes of fast and slow boundary with isotherm model for slow reactions: baseline-separated peaks reveal species populations a) integrate c(s) peaks individually b) species population isotherm for heterogeneous interactions: global multi-signal analysis for multi-component c(s) a) for determining stoichiometry of extended associations b) requires either k off < 0-4 /sec or c > fold K D no detailed boundary shape info used can deal with impurities outside range of interacting system useful to build model (stoichiometry, K D,s complex ) concentration series global modeling of isotherms
