Biology:Protein stoichiometry

From HandWiki

Protein stoichiometry is analogous to chemical stoichiometry, from whence it derives its name.[1][2][3] In chemical stoichiometry, the number of atoms and their charge units are balanced on either side of a chemical rate equation. In protein stoichiometry, the proteins are balanced[4] according to Chargaff's rules.

In 1950, Chargaff published that the amounts of adenine and thymine in DNA were roughly or approximately the same, as were the amounts of cytosine and guanine.[5] This later became known as the first of Chargaff's rules. Because of this rule, relative units of mass are used to determine stoichiometry. Mass units can be counted under a microscope, or analysed with a spectrometer, which latter technique was first developed using isotope decoding by Cohen.

Chargaff's statement of his rules is as follows:[6]

  1. the sum of the purines (adenine and guanine) equals that of the pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine);
  2. the molar ratio of adenine to thymine equals 1;
  3. the molar ratio of guanine to cytosine equals 1.

And, as a direct consequence of the three last relationships,

  1. the number of 6–amino groups (adenine and cytosine) is the same as that of 6–keto groups (guanine and thymine).

Several techniques for protein stoichiometry have been developed, amongst which:
