Analysis of GFP-Tagged Proteins by Differential Scanning Fluorimetry(DSF) (CAT#: STEM-MB-0771-WXH)

Introduction

A limitation of classic differential scanning fluorimetry is its reliance on highly purified protein samples. This limitation is overcome through differential scanning fluorimetry of GFP-tagged proteins (DSF-GTP). DSF-GTP specifically measures the unfolding and aggregation of a target protein fused to GFP through its proximal perturbation effects on GFP fluorescence. As a result of this unique principle, DSF-GTP can specifically measure the thermal stability of a target protein in the presence of other proteins.

Principle

Differential Scanning Fluorimetry measures protein thermal unfolding by monitoring changes in fluorescence emission of a sample upon heating. This allows the determination of protein thermostability and complex formation even with weakly binding ligands by thermal shift assay. Differential Scanning Fluorimetry is therefore ideally suited for screening of optimum buffer conditions like pH, buffer composition and ionic strength. The technique is applicable to any biological sample, from soluble proteins to integral membrane proteins.

Applications

To identify low-molecular-weight ligands that bind and stabilize purified proteins.
To measure the denaturation and unfolding of proteins.
