Para-maleimidophenyl (p-MP) modified gold surfaces have been prepared by one-step electrochemical deposition and used in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies. Therefore, a FITC mimotope peptide (MP1, 12 aa), a human mucin 1 epitope peptide (MUC, 9 aa) and a protein with their specific antibodies were used as model systems. The peptides were modified with an N-terminal cysteine for covalent and directed coupling to the maleimido functionalized surface by means of Michael addition. The coupling yield of the peptide, the binding characteristics of antibody and the unspecific adsorption of the analytes were investigated. The results expand the spectrum of biosensors usable with p-MP by widely used SPR and support its potential to be versatile for several electrochemical and optical biosensors. This allows the combination of an electrochemical and optical read-out for a broad variety of biomolecular interactions on the same chip. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Herein we present an efficient synthesis of a biomimetic probe with modular construction that can be specifically bound by the mannose binding FimH protein - a surface adhesion protein of E. coli bacteria. The synthesis combines the new and interesting DBD dye with the carbohydrate ligand mannose via a Click reaction. We demonstrate the binding to E. coli bacteria over a large concentration range and also present some special characteristics of those molecules that are of particular interest for the application as a biosensor. In particular, the mix-and-measure ability and the very good photo-stability should be highlighted here.
