Biological applications of SPR – Biacore biosensors
SPR functions as biosensors for specific biological interactions including adsorption and desorption kinetics such as antigen-antibody binding.

The corner-stones of the technology
• Dextran matrix covered with carboxyl groupes (red circles)
액티베이션
• Captures ligands such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids (irreversible)
• Study of analytes ranging in size from small organic molecules, e.g. drug candidates, to large molecular assemblies or whole viruses.

• Ligand: the interactant immobilized on the sensor surface
The ligand can be immobilized directly to the sensor surface,

Application of biosensors - specificity
• Do two molecules interact with each other? - Yes/No Answers.
• Different analytes are tested with the same ligand e.g. different antigens with immobilized antibody.

Bi-molecular binding
Equilibrium and kinetic constants are related
Rate Constants
Equilibrium Constants
Same affinity but different kinetics
• All four compounds have the same affinity KD = 10 nM = 10-8 M • The same affinity can be the result from different kinetics
Biacore kinetic data
Extracting rate constants from sensorgrams
• Measure binding curves
• Decide on a model to describe the interaction
• Fit the curve to a mathematical rate equation describing the model
e.g.
dt
dR
=ka.C.(Rmax-R)–kd .R
• Obtain values for the constants ka, kd, Rmax
• Assess the fit
Overlay plots, residual plots
Acceptable statistics e.g. chi2 – curve fidelity
Biological and experimental relevance of the calculated parameters
Application of biosensors
– affinity analysis by equilibrium binding
• Determine the equilibrium response when response goes flat (at equilibrium).
• Plot concentration-response.
• Fit the curve to a steady state model to derive equilibrium constant.
Advantages and limitations of biosensor
• Advantages 장번
Once optimized – quick data acquisition
Sensitive
Label-free in many cases
Ability to perform real-time measurement
Can re-use chip surface as long as the surface is not damaged
Can link up to mass spec to determine the identify of interactants Low amounts of analyte/ligand required
• Limitations
Mass transport limitations
Can take time to optimize regeneration conditions
Lack of sensitivity when monitoring low molecular weight analytes
3.11. Bio-layer interferometry (BLI)
• Bio-layer Interferometry (BLI) monitors the binding of proteins or other biomolecules to their partners directly in real time as for SPR.
• Label-free, fluidics-free, real-time detection based on an optically-coated biosensor
• Analyzes the interference pattern of white light reflected from two surfaces: 1 a layer of immobilized protein on the biosensor tip (glass fiber)
2 an internal reference layer
• A layer of molecules attached to the tip
• Any change in the number of molecules bound causes a measured shift in the pattern (both density and thickness contribute a shift)
