Table 1. Thermodynamic parameters of D- and L-aspartate binding at high (300 mM) and low (75 mM) Na+ concentration.
| Substrate/ Na+ | Kd (µM) | ΔH (cal mol−1) | ΔS (cal mol−1 K−1) |
|---|---|---|---|
| L-aspartate/300 mM NaCl | 0.12 ± 0.04 | −1.61 (±0.08) x 104 | −22.1 ± 2.2 |
| D-aspartate/300 mM NaCl | 0.47 ± 0.17 | −1.48 (±0.11) x 104 | −20.6 ± 3.6 |
| L-aspartate/75 mM NaCl | 1.04 ± 0.39 | −1.22 (±0.13) x 104 | −13.2 ± 5.2 |
| D-aspartate/75 mM NaCl | 5.66 ± 1.59 | −1.14 (±0.41) x 104 | −14.3 ± 14.3* |
*At low Na+ concentrations high errors prevented accurate measuring of ΔS values.
