Dynamic Light Scattering Evidence for a Ligand??Induced Motion between the Two Domains of Glucoamylase G1 of Aspergillus niger with Heterobivalent Substrate …
Abstract Heterobifunctional ligands that bind at the same time to the catalytic domain and to the starch-binding domain of glucoamylase induce a conformational change of the protein, as shown by dynamic light scattering. The ligands consist of acarbose and β-cyclodextrin linked together by oligoethylene glycols of variable length (see the schematic diagram).
