Influence of PEG architecture on protein adsorption and conformation

Poly(L-lysine)-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLL-g-PEG) copolymers with various grafting ratios were adsorbed to niobium pentoxide-coated silicon wafers and characterized before and after protein adsorption using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Three proteins of different sizes, myoglobin (16 kD), albumin (67 kD), and fibrinogen (340 kD), were studied. XPS was used to quantify the amount of protein adsorbed to the bare and PEGylated surfaces. ToF-SIMS and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to study protein conformational changes on these surfaces. The smallest protein, myoglobin, generally adsorbed in higher numbers than the much larger fibrinogen. Protein adsorption was lowest on the surfaces with the highest PEG chain surface density and increased as the PEG layer density decreased. The highest adsorption was found on lysine-coated and bare niobium surfaces. ToF-SIMS and PCA data evaluation provided further information on the degree of protein denaturation, which, for a particular protein, were found to decrease with increasing PEG surface density and increase with decreasing protein size.     

Silicon surface modification with a mixed silanes layer to immobilize proteins for biosensor with imaging ellipsometry

One kind of surface modification method on silicon wafer was presented in this paper. A mixed silanes layer was used to modify silicon surface and rendered the surface medium hydrophobic. The mixed silanes layer contained two kinds of compounds, aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES). A few of APTES molecules in the layer was used to immobilize covalently human immunoglobulin G (IgG) on the silicon surface. The human IgG molecules immobilized covalently on the modified surface could retain their structures well and bind more antibody molecules than that on silicon surface modified with only APTES. This kind of surface modification method effectively improved the sensitivity of the biosensor with imaging ellipsometry.     

Site–specific immobilization of Fab’ fragments of goat antihuman IgG on quartz surfaces

This paper presents a strategy for immobilizing biomolecules onto a solid surface. We used the free thiol group directing method to immobilize Fab’ fragments to the MPTMS derived quartz substrate and results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies on the binding of MTPMS and Fab’ fragments on the quartz surfaces are reported. We also prepared a new type of immuno-labeled protein which was the rare earth element labeled antigen (human IgG) to recognize Fab’ fragment. Four characteristic peaks has been determined on the surface specifically bound human IgG labeled Tb³⁺.     

Platinum Nanoflowers on Scratched Silicon by Galvanic Displacement for an Effective SALDI Substrate

We report a new and facile method for synthesizing 3D platinum nanoflowers (Pt Nfs) on a scratched silicon substrate by electroless galvanic displacement and discuss the applications of the Pt Nfs in surface‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐mass spectrometry (SALDI‐MS). Surface scratching of n‐type silicon is essential to induce Pt Nf growth on a silicon substrate (to obtain a Pt Nf silicon hybrid plate) by the galvanic displacement reaction. The Pt Nf silicon hybrid plate showed excellent SALDI activity in terms of the efficient generation of protonated molecular ions in the absence of a citrate buffer. We propose that the acidity of the Si? OH moieties on silicon increases because of the electron‐withdrawing nature of the Pt Nfs; hence, proton transfer from the Si? OH groups to the analyte molecules is enhanced, and finally, thermal desorption of the analyte ions from the surface occurs. Signal enhancement was observed for protonated molecular ions produced from a titania nanotube array (TNA) substrate on which Pt nanoparticles had been photochemically deposited. Moreover, surface modification of the Pt Nf silicon hybrid plate by perfluorodecyltrichlorosilane (FDTS) (to obtain an FDTS‐Pt Nf silicon hybrid plate) was found to facilitate soft SALDI of labile compounds. More interestingly, the FDTS‐Pt Nf silicon hybrid plate acts 1) as a high‐affinity substrate for phosphopeptides and 2) as a SALDI substrate. The feasibility of using the FDTS‐Pt Nf silicon hybrid plate for SALDI‐MS has been demonstrated by using a β‐casein digest and various analytes, including small molecules, peptides, phosphopeptides, phospholipids, carbohydrates, and synthetic polymers. The hybridization of Pt Nfs with a scratched silicon substrate has been found to be important for achieving excellent SALDI activity.     

Surface modification of magnetic nanoparticle via Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide [2 + 3] cycloaddition

The Cu(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide [2 + 3] cycloaddition has been demonstrated to be an effective and orthogonal conjugation reaction to covalently immobilize biomolecules on magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). The azido group on the MNP surface provides better conjugation efficiency with alkynated molecules. Moreover, the C-terminal alkynated protein was site-specifically immobilized on MNP. The protein binding activity presented by site-specific immobilization is higher than that by random amide bond formation.     

Adsorption and conformational change of myoglobin on biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanocrystals functionalized with alendronate

The chemical conjugation of bisphosphonates (BPs), specifically alendronate, to hydroxyapatite could be an effective means to impart to it fine-tuned bioactivity. Horse heart myoglobin (Mb), a well-characterized protein, has been adsorbed onto biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanocrystals (nHA) and onto the nHA/alendronate conjugate powdered samples. The obtained materials have potential use in bone implantation and as prospective drug-delivery devices. The kinetic absorption of Mb onto nHA is dramatically affected by its functionalization with alendronate. The covering of the nHA surface by alendronate inhibits the adsorption of myoglobin. The adsorption mechanisms of the protein were studied by spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy). The results indicate that the protein changes conformation upon adsorption on the inorganic substrate. In particular, the interaction with nHA alters the coordination state of the iron in the heme through the formation of a hexacoordinated low-spin Mb heme, possibly involving the distal histidine. Instead, the covering of the nHA surface by alendronate does not adsorb the protein but preserves the coordination state of the heme moiety. This study could be of significance either in the field of biomaterials science, in particular, to fine tune a bone-specific drug delivery device and to test nHA as a new support for heterogeneous catalysis, improving the understating of enzyme immobilization.     

Effect of boron on the surface tension of molten silicon and its temperature coefficient

The influence of boron concentration (C(B)/mass%) on the surface tension of molten silicon has been investigated with the sessile drop method under oxygen partial pressure P(O(2))=1.62x10(-25)-2.63x10(-22) MPa, and the results can be summarized as follows. The surface tension increases with C(B) in the range below 2.09 mass%, and the maximum increase rate of the surface tension is about 30 mN m(-1)(mass% C(B))(-1). The temperature coefficient of the surface tension, ( partial differential sigma/ partial differential T)C(B), was found to increase with the boron concentration in molten silicon. At the interface between molten silicon and the BN substrate, a discontinuous Si(3)N(4) layer was reckoned to form and the layer might prevent BN from dissolving into the molten silicon. Since dissolved boron from the BN substrate into the molten silicon is below 0.054 mass% and the associated increase in surface tension is below 1.5 mN m(-1), the contamination from the BN substrate on the surface tension can be ignored. The relation between the surface tension and C(B) indicates negative adsorption of boron and can be well described by combining the Gibbs adsorption isotherm with the Langmuir isotherm.     

Porous silicon surfaces: a candidate substrate for reverse protein arrays in cancer biomarker detection

This paper introduces a new substrate for reverse-phase protein microarray applications based on macroporous silicon. A key feature of the microarray substrate is the vastly surface enlarging properties of the porous silicon, which simultaneously offers highly confined microarray spots. The proof of principle of the reverse array concept was demonstrated in the detection of different levels of cyclin E, a possible cancer biomarker candidate which regulates G1-S transition and correlates with poor prognosis in different types of human cancers. The substrate properties were studied performing analysis of total cyclin E expression in human colon cancer cell lines Hct116 and SW480. The absence of unspecific binding and good microarray quality was demonstrated. In order to verify the performance of the 3-D textured macroporous surface for complex biological samples, lysates of the human tissue spiked to different levels with cell extract overproducing cyclin E (Hct116) were arrayed on the chip surface. The samples were spotted in a noncontact mode in 100 pL droplets with spots sizes ranged between 50 and 70 mum and spot-to-spot center distances 100 mum, allowing microarray spot densities up to 14 000 spots per cm(2). The different sample types of increasing complexities did not have any impact on the spot intensities recorded and the protein spots showed good homogeneity and reproducibility over the recorded microarrays. The data demonstrate the potential use of macroporous silicon as a substrate for quantitative determination of a cancer biomarker cyclin E in tissue lysates.     

Elimination of aggregates of ferredoxin from its self-assembled monolayer on silicon substrate

The self-assembled ferredoxin monolayer onto the (100) surface of the silicon substrate was prepared and the nonspecifically adsorbed aggregates of ferredoxin on the substrate were successfully eliminated by using a zwitterionic surfactant, 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). The AFM image of the self-assembled ferredoxin monolayer on the silicon substrate treated with CHAPS clearly shows that the size of ferredoxin clusters is about 20–30 nm, which is on the order of an aggregate of about five ferredoxin molecules, whereas the size of ferredoxin aggregates on the substrate without CHAPS treatment was measured to be about 100–200 nm. Those results offer a useful method for the elimination of the nonspecific adsorption of proteins onto inorganic substrates, which has been a long-term problem in the fabrication of biomolecular electronic devices by the self-assembly technique.     

Electrochemical biosensors utilising electron transfer in heme proteins immobilised on Fe3O4 nanoparticles

Fe3O4 nanoparticles cast on pyrolytic graphite (PG) electrodes were used to immobilize hemoglobin (Hb), myoglobin (Mb) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The Fe3O4 nanoparticles provided a favorable microenvironment for the proteins to directly transfer electrons with electrodes. The protein-Fe3O4 films were used to electrochemically catalyze the reduction of oxygen, trichloroacetic acid, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide, and showed a potential applicability in fabricating biosensors. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible absorption and reflectance absorption infrared (RAIR) spectroscopy, and cyclic and square wave voltammetry, were used to characterize the films.
