Organic bioelectronics probing conformational changes in surface confined proteins
The study of proteins confined on a surface has attracted a great deal of attention due to its relevance in the development of bio-systems for laboratory and clinical settings. In this respect, organic bio-electronic platforms can be used as tools to achieve a deeper understanding of the processes involving protein interfaces. In this work, biotin-binding proteins have been integrated in two di...
متن کاملMeasuring Surface-Induced Conformational Changes in Proteins
Microfabricated cantilever sensors were used to measure the surface stress induced by protein adsorption onto a gold surface. Two proteins, immoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin (BSA), were studied. The change of surface stress upon adsorption of IgG was found to be compressive, whereas that of BSA was tensile. This difference is elucidated in terms of protein deformation and packing. Most stress ch...
متن کاملHigh-resolution multiwavelength surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy for probing conformational and electronic changes in redox proteins.
To date, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy identifies molecules via specific bindings with their ligands immobilized on a surface. We demonstrate here that a high-resolution multiwavelength SPR technique can measure the electronic states of the molecules and thus allow direct identification of the molecules. Using this new capability, we have studied the electronic and conformational...
متن کاملTherapy using implanted organic bioelectronics
Many drugs provide their therapeutic action only at specific sites in the body, but are administered in ways that cause the drug's spread throughout the organism. This can lead to serious side effects. Local delivery from an implanted device may avoid these issues, especially if the delivery rate can be tuned according to the need of the patient. We turned to electronically and ionically conduc...
متن کاملVoltammetric investigation of surface-confined proteins.
Development of sensitive and selective methods to detect proteins at trace levels is of great biological importance. Via derivatization with a bifunctional cross-linker 4-maleimidobutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (GMBS) and an electrochemical marker 11-ferrocenyl-1-undecanethiol (Fc-SH), voltammetric determination of surface-confined proteins electrostatically adsorbed onto the polyelect...
