Abstract

Dynamic force spectroscopy probes the kinetic properties of molecules interacting with each other such as antibody-antigen, receptor-ligand, etc. In this article, a statistical model for the dissociation of such cooperative systems is presented. The partner molecules are assumed to be linked by a number of relatively weak bonds that can be grouped together into cooperative units. Single bonds are assumed to open and close statistically. Our model was used to analyze molecular recognition experiments of single receptor-ligand pairs in which the two molecules are brought into contact using an atomic force microscope, which leads to the formation of a strong and specific bond. Then a prescribed time-dependent force is applied to the complex and the statistical distribution of forces needed to pull the molecules completely apart is measured. This quantity is also calculated from our model. Furthermore, its dependence on the model parameters, such as binding free energy, number of bonds and groups, number of cooperative elementary bonds and degree of cooperativity within a group, influence of the force on the binding free energy, and the rate of change of the pulling force, is determined.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
