Fatty-acid binding measured by the displacement of a fluorescent probe (1,8-ANS) bound to human EPDR1. Fatty-acid binding to human EPDR1 was inferred by measuring the three fatty-acid (C6, caproic acid; C12, lauric acid; C18, stearic acid) concentrations necessary to replace 50% of 1,8-ANS (IC50). Note that the C6 and C12 displacement studies were performed in 0.5% ethanol buffer and that the C18 displacement study was performed in 2% ethanol buffer owing to the limited solubility of C18 in water. |
