abstract = {Protein-ligand interactions are of fundamental importance
to numerous processes in living organisms. A very sensitive
method to observe the reaction kinetics is Microscale
thermophoresis (MST), which uses the changed thermophoretic
behaviour as an indicator for complex formation [1]. This
sensitivity of thermodiffusion is attributed to
modifications in the hydration shell of the protein upon
complex formation, which can be strong due to conformational
changes of the protein. There is, however, no detailed
understanding how protein conformation, hydration and
thermophoretic behaviour are connected. Our aim is to
elucidate that point and find out if MST could be used to
obtain information about protein hydration in addition to
the reaction kinetics. Several cyclodextrins and their
complexes with acetylsalicylic acid were investigated as a
simple model system [2]. We found that the temperature
dependence of a solute’s thermodiffusion is correlated to
its hydrophilicity, but the observed change upon complex
formation is relatively small due to the rigidity of
cyclodextrin. The second model system is the protein
streptavidin and its complex with biotin [3]. Data from
quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) and isothermal
titration calorimetry (ITC) show a reduced entropy of the
complex in comparison to the free protein, which is partly
compensated by an increased entropy of the hydration shell.
This is in agreement with a breaking of hydrogen bonds
between protein and surrounding water due to the reduced
flexibility of the protein [4] and fits with the reduced
hydrophilicity of the complex indicated by
thermodiffusion.REFERENCES[1] M. Jerabek-Willemsen et al.,
