An unusual phenomenon, the specific interaction between tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Tris) and lysozyme (LZM), was demonstrated for the first time by rapid screen analysis of interactions using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) biosensor. This phenomenon was also observed in a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) system. Further study using high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) confirmed this specific interaction between LZM and immobilized Tris with an apparent dissociation constant (KD) of 6.7×10−5M. Molecular docking was carried out to identify possible modes of binding between LZM and Tris linked to a binding arm. The estimated binding free energy was −6.34kcal mol−1, corresponding to a KDof 2.3×10−5M, which correlated well with the experimental value. Based on the docking model, the three hydroxyl groups of Tris form intermolecular H bonds with Asp52, Glu35, and Ala107 in LZM. This study reinforces the importance of buffer selection in quantitative biochemical investigations. For a lysozyme ligand binding study, it is better to avoid using Tris when the ligands under study are weak binders.
