Method for immobilizing protein A on a self-assembled monolayer
View Patent ↗The object of the present invention is to provide a method for increasing an amount of Protein A to be immobilized on the self-assembled monolayer. Immobilizing Protein A to the self-assembled monolayer through the structure represented following formula (II) obviates the object.
1. A method for immobilizing a Protein A on a self-assembled monolayer, comprising the following step (a) and step (b) in this order:
a step (a) of preparing a substrate comprising immobilization of one molecule of amino acid on the self-assembled monolayer, wherein the one molecule of the amino acid is immobilized to the self-assembled monolayer through a peptide bond represented by the following chemical formula (I):
wherein R represents a side chain of one molecule of the amino acid; and wherein
the one molecule of the amino acid is selected from the nineteen kinds of the amino acids consisting of cysteine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glycine, asparagine, methionine, serine, tryptophan, leucine, glutamine, alanine, isoleucine, threonine, proline, glutamate, aspartate, and valine, and
a step (b) of supplying the Protein A to the substrate to form a peptide bond represented by the following chemical formula (II):
as a result of reaction between carboxyl group of the one molecule of the amino acid and amino group of the Protein A; wherein R represents a side chain of one molecule of the amino acid.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the step (a) comprises the following step (a1) and step (a2) in this order:
a step (a1) of preparing a substrate comprising a self-assembled monolayer on the surface thereof, the self-assembled monolayer having a carboxyl group at its one end, and
a step (a2) of supplying the one molecule of the amino acid to form a peptide bond represented by the chemical formula (I) as a result of reaction between carboxyl group at one end of the self-assembled monolayer and amino group of the one molecule of the amino acid.
3. A method according to claim 1 , further comprising the following step (ab) between the step (a) and the step (b):
a step (ab) of activating the carboxyl group of the one molecule of the amino acid with a mixture of N-Hydroxysuccinimide and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride.
4. A method according to claim 2 , further comprising the following step (a1a) between the step (a1) and the step (a2):
a step (a1a) of activating the carboxyl group of the self-assembled monolayer with a mixture of N-Hydroxysuccinimide and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride.
5. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the chemical formula (II) is represented by the following chemical formula (III):
wherein R represents a side chain of the one molecule of the amino acid.
6. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the one molecule of the amino acid is selected from the group consisting of cysteine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glycine, asparagine, methionine, serine, tryptophan, leucine, glutamine, alanine, isoleucine, threonine, proline, glutamate, and aspartate.
7. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the one molecule of the amino acid is selected from the group consisting of cysteine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glycine, asparagine, methionine, serine, tryptophan, leucine, glutamine, alanine, isoleucine, and threonine.
8. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the one molecule of the amino acid is selected from the group consisting of cysteine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glycine, asparagine, methionine, serine, and tryptophan.
9. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the one molecule of the amino acid is selected from the group consisting of cysteine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, and glycine.
