A Self-Assembled Monolayer for the Binding and Study of Histidine-Tagged Proteins by Surface Plasmon Resonance

Sigal, George B., Bamdad, Cynthia, Barberis, Alcide, Strominger, Jack, Whitesides, George M.·1996·Analytical Chemistry

Abstract

This paper reports the generation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) that selectively binds proteins whose primary sequence terminates with a His-tag: a stretch of six histidines commonly incorporated in recombinant proteins to simplify purification. The SAM was prepared by the adsorption onto a gold surface of a mixture of two alkanethiols: one thiol that terminated with a nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) group, a group that forms a tetravalent chelate with Ni(II), and a second thiol that terminated with a tri(ethylene glycol) group, a group that resists protein adsorption. His-tagged proteins bound to the SAM by interaction of the histidines with the two vacant sites on Ni(II) ions chelated to the surface NTA groups. Studies with model proteins showed the binding was specific for His-tagged proteins and required the presence of Ni(II) on the surface. Immobilized His-tagged proteins were kinetically stable in buffered saline at pH 7.2 but could be desorbed by treatment with 200 mM imidazole. Surface plasmon resonance studies for two model systems showed that His-tagged proteins adsorbed on the NTA-SAM retained a greater ability to participate in binding interactions with proteins in solution than protein immobilized in a thin dextran gel layer by covalent coupling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
