Adducts

... they discovered in the mid 1980s. I haven’t seen any good explanation as to why the fluorescence increases on binding. My guess is that adjacent adducts (or other bases, even) quench the intrinsic fluorescence of the adduct. Binding to protein disrupts the interbase interactions and thus enhances ...

... The process is based on the incorporation of SO(sub2) into the colorless crystals and the subsequent liberation of the gas from the orange adducts by reversible bond formation and cleavage. The authors suggest such crystalline materials will find applications for gas storage devices and ...

... in the receptor protein that cause it to have a much lower Ka (binding efficiency) to the hormone. Or you can modify the cell membrane with adducts to render the membrane proteins unable to bind the hormone. Also, since Calcium Ca+2 is key to signal transduction, you can add chemical such ...
