Abstract
The binding affinity between the TusTer protein-DNA complex involved in termination of DNA replication was investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The ε186-θ complex from DNA polymerase III was prepared for ESI-MS analysis by dialysis. The X-ray structure of the complex revealed substantial polar and electrostatic interactions between binding partners. The results show stability of ε186-θ complex to be >9 M in salt solutions suggesting that hydrophobic interactions play substantial role in stability of complex.
