... changes in ligand-binding stoichiometry and affinities. The removal of adisulfide bond in rat lipocalin-type prostaglandin Dsynthase slightly increased the binding affinity for bio-logical ligands, ... uponligand binding. Indeed, high T1⁄ T2ratios wereobserved for Tyr9 and Gln11 (strand A), Arg32 (helixII), Val90, Lys92, and Glu94 (strand G), Phe96 and Ser97 (strand H), Phe113 (strand I), and ... leadto distinct binding and functional properties [22,23]. In line with this, we have shown here that the presence ofa disulfide bridge, while maintaining the same bindingstoichiometry, induces...
