摘要:
Single-molecule study on multivalency: The binding kinetics of a tetravalent lectin can be examined at the single-molecule level by using an engineered protein pore carrying up to seven carbohydrate ligands. The binding of the lectin to the pore (see molecular model) produces short and long reversible blockades in single-channel current recordings, which are interpreted as monovalent and bivalent binding events, respectively.
