Conformational Heterogeneity of Cyclosporin A in Cyclophilin 18 Binding.

The immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A (CsA) binds to its receptor protein cyclophilin 18 (Cyp18) in two distinct kinetic phases, while the mechanism remains elusive. Stopped-flow measurements coupled with titration and competition experiments were used to investigate the puzzling two-phase proces...
