Abstract
A Monte Carlo method is given to compute the binding affinity of a ligand to a protein. The method involves extending configuration space by a discrete variable indicating whether the ligand is bound to the protein and a special Monte Carlo move, which allows transitions between the unbound and bound states. Provided that an accurate protein structure is given, that the proteinβligand binding site is known, and that an accurate chemical force field together with a continuum solvation model is used, this method provides a quantitative estimate of the free energy of binding.

## Abstract In this study, a novel method was developed to predict the binding affinity of proteinβligand based on a comprehensive set of structurally diverse proteinβligand complexes (PLCs). The 1300 PLCs with binding affinity (493 complexes with __K__~d~ and 807 complexes with __K__~i~) from the
## Abstract The potential use of affinity capillary electrophoresis in a microscale search for mutually interacting substances in biological fluid is demonstrated. Some disaccharides, especially gentiobiose (Gen), derivatized with 1βphenylβ3βmethylβ5βpyrazolone, caused peak retardation when electro
A rapid and simple method for assaying the binding activity of thiamine-binding protein is described. By this assay method, the binding characteristics of rice bran thiamine-binding protein have been evaluated with [14C]thiamine as ligand. Analysis of these data by Scatchard plot resulted in linear
