Recombinant histidine-tagged or GST fusion proteins were expressed and purified as described in MATERIALS AND METHODS. The binding assay was carried out in PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20. From the binding curves obtained by resonant mirror detection method, ka, kd, and K(D)kin were determined using the software package FAST-Fit.
