Binding Reponse
Baseline
Is there an interaction? (Yes/No Binding)
How strong is the interaction? (Affinity)
How quickly do they interact and dissociate? (Kinetics)
Why? (Thermodynamics) (DH, DS, DG)
How much? (Concentration)

47. Sensorgrams
• Monosaccharide/Con A binding is comprised of fast on and off rates that follow a
1:1 binding model
• Glyco-dendrimers have more complex binding kinetics consistent with the
multivalent nature of the dendrimers and the clustered arrangement of lectin
• Association rates are similar but dissociation rates varied with the generation of
dendrimer

48. Binding Mechanism Unraveled
• Three-phase binding model proposed:
1) A low affinity binding site similar to the monosaccharide
2) A higher affinity binding mode resulting from dendrimer binding with higher functional valency
3) As dissociation occurs from the low affinity binding site, the sites become occupied by higher functional
valency dendrimers.

50. Design of the Antagonist
• IL-1 Cytokines are master
mediators of the inflammatory
response.
• IL-1α and IL-1β protein are
elevated in the lacrimal gland,
tears, and the ocular surface in all
forms of dry-eye disease
• Chimerized two IL-1 receptor
ligands, IL-1β and IL-1Ra, to
create an optimized receptor
antagonist.
