A universal label-free method for the spectroscopic investigation of polyhistidine-tagged proteins is presented. A solid supported lipid bilayer (SSLB, picture) containing nitrilotriacetic-acid-modified lipids is attached on top of a germanium attenuated total reflection crystal by hydrophilic interactions. Any His tag-modified protein can be immobilized and investigated by FTIR spectroscopy.

We have developed a method based on self-assembly of thiols on Au substrates to immobilize membrane proteins at interfaces. Using water soluble nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)-terminated oligo(ethylene glycol) thiols, a histidine-tagged G protein-coupled membrane receptor (GPCR) was captured in a defined orientation with little nonspecific binding.

The reaction of 2,2,2-nitrilotriacetic acid with phosphorus pentachloride furnished 2,2,2-nitrilotriacetyl chloride (1), a useful chemical intermediate for various further reactions. The compound has been fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, vibrational analysis (IR and Raman), mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the crystal structure of 1 has been determined...

Attachment of two nitrilotriacetic acid-based ligands to a protein α-helix in an i, i + 4 configuration produces an octadentate chelating motif that is able to bind paramagnetic lanthanide ions rigidly and with high affinity, leading to large pseudocontact shifts and residual dipolar couplings in the NMR spectrum.

This paper describes an approach to synthesize a tightly adhered Ta3N5 nanotube array (NTA) photoanode with enhanced electron conductivity between the Ta3N5 layer and the substrate via a two-step anodization method. The obtained tightly adhered Ta3N5 NTA photoanode exhibits excellent photoelectrochemical properties with an optimal photocurrent up to 5.3 mA cm(-2) at 1.6 V vs. the reversible hyd...

In this research complexation of dioxovanadium(V) with nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) at differentionic strengths (0.1 to 1.0 mol dm-3) of sodium perchlorate as supporting electrolyte and pH rangeof 1.00-2.50 at 25 °C has been investigated by a combination of potentiometric and UVspectrophotometric measurements. Stability constants of two species, V0211L- and VO2H2L havebeen calculated. Ionic stre...
