Thermofluor
• Thermofluor gives an optical readout of protein melting as e.g. observedwith DSC.
• Optical readout is much more sensitive than direct thermal measurement.• TF consequently allows parallel measurements in 384 well-plates using
fluorescent imaging plate readers.

Thermofluor Applications
• Optimization of solution conditions (pH, Ionic strength, cofactors, metals, etc.) forprotein stabilization.
– Protein preparation and biochemistry– Optimization of crystallization conditions
• Measurement of ligand binding affinity– Drug screening– Analysis of binding cooperativity between multiple ligands
• Inhibitors plus substrates or cofactors.• Agonists vs. antagonists (e.g. NHR ligands vs. activator & repressor
peptides).– Use of “functional probe libraries” incorporating substrates, metabolic
intermediates, & cofactors to “decrypt” proteins of unknown function.– Use of structural analog libraries to determine detailed energetics of cofactor
binding (e.g. ATP bound to different kinases).

Kinase “A” Kinase “B”Conclusion: Different kinases have evolved different specific interactions to maintain ATP-binding capacity.Implication: ATP-analog drugs can be specific for individual kinases. (Thought for many years to be untrue.)
