  1. Ligand affinities were determined in triplicate by isothermal titration calorimetry using a construct of purified mouse ChREBP GSM in which residues 43–307 were expressed carboxyl to MetHis6. The data show that G3P is the highest-affinity ligand for the GSM. We suggest that hereafter the GSM be considered an abbreviation for G3P-sensing module.
