The binding of 2 μg/mL HK or HKa to immobilized multimeric or native VN (each 5 μg/mL) is shown. Binding was studied in the absence or presence of Zn2+ (50 μmol/L) and heparin (10 μg/mL). Binding of HK to BSA in the absence or presence of Zn2+was 0.074 ± 0.001 and 0.182 ± 0.031, respectively. Binding of HKa to BSA in the absence or presence of Zn2+was 0.106 ± 0.026 and 0.194 ± 0.031, respectively. This nonspecific binding was subtracted to estimate specific binding. Binding is expressed as absorbance at 405 nm. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 3) of a typical experiment, and similar results were obtained in 3 separate experiments.
