The phrase "affects its binding" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing how certain factors influence the binding of molecules, proteins, or other entities in scientific or technical writing.
Example: "The pH level of the solution significantly affects its binding to the receptor sites."
Alternatives: "influences its binding" or "modifies its binding".
Given that Ey(2a) has additional amino-acids immediately upstream from its paired domain, it is possible that this modification affects its binding ability and/or specificity.
It is likely that the molecular weight of heparin affects its binding affinity to Tau fibrils, with higher molecular weight species exhibiting increased affinity.
Although the previous data showed that VCP was phosphorylated by DNA-PK in response to DNA damage, it is not clear whether this phosphorylation of VCP affects its binding with DNA-PK or regulates VCP activation.
Moreover, the phosphorylation modification of FUNDC1 affects its binding affinity for LC3B and regulates selective mitophagy.
This observation suggested that removal of the PTB binding site in DLC1 affects its binding with tensin2 but preserves its focal adhesion localization, possibly via interaction with other tensins through a PTB-independent binding mechanism (Fig. 4F).
Thus, the cleavage of 11 C-terminal residues of αA-crystallin, which is known to affect its secondary and tertiary structures [16], severely affects its binding to target proteins which in turn affect its ability to function as a molecular chaperone.
One mutant, ER-L372R, lost the ability to interact with CoRNR box-containing peptides without affecting its binding to LXXLL motif-containing peptides.
Both of them inhibit the LacI binding to the operator DNA without affecting its binding to non-operator sequence.
We then wished to test whether phosphorylation of Sam68 by ERK could instead affect its binding to splice-regulatory RNA elements.
The variations in the rat NF-1 protein (compared to the human sequence) are not located within its DNA binding domain, thus they are unlikely to affect its binding to DNA.
As was observed for Gly172, Xaa239 was found in the nt database (Fig. 5B), suggesting that HA heterogeneity of both minor amino acids may affect its binding affinity to the sialic acid receptor.
