Competition of Man3 and 19F-Man3 for 250 μM 19F-Man3 in complex with 25 μM CVNmDB. A) Schematic representation of the competitive binding scenario. Cheng–Prusoff equation based on a competitive site binding model, where [19F-Man3] and [Man3] are the concentrations of the fluorinated and non-fluorinated ligand, and KDF the dissociation constants of 19F-Man3 for the glycan-binding site on domain A of CVNmDB. The data were fitted using the maximum increase in free 19F-Man3 resonance intensity upon Man3 addition, ΔImax, and kd the dissociation constant for Man3 binding as adjustable parameters. B) 19F-NMR spectra were recorded for 19F-Man3:CVNmDB:Man3 molar ratios of 10:1:0, 10:1:0.25, 10:1:0.5, 10:1:0.75, and 10:1:1. In the titration curve the bound fraction of Man3 is derived from the difference in signal intensity of the 19F-Man3 free signal ΔI=Ifree-I0 during the titration, with Ifree the intensity of the 19F-Man3 free signal at each point in the titration, and I0 the intensity of 19F-Man3 free signal at the beginning of the titration.
