In situ observation of streptavidin-biotin binding on an immunoassay well surface using an atomic force microscope.

Abstract:

:Polystyrene microtitre wells are commonly used as supports for the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method of biomolecular detection, which is employed in the routine diagnosis of a variety of medical conditions. We have used an atomic force microscope (AFM) to directly monitor specific molecular interactions between individual streptavidin and biotin molecules on such wells. This was achieved by functionalising an AFM probe with biotin and monitoring the adhesive forces between the probe and a streptavidin coated immunoassay well. The results demonstrate that the AFM may be employed as an analytical tool to study the interactions between biomolecules involved in immunoassay systems.

  • Involvement of the telomeric protein Pin2/TRF1 in the regulation of the mitotic spindle.

    abstract::Pin2/TRF1 was independently identified as a telomeric DNA-binding protein (TRF1) that regulates telomere length, and as a protein (Pin2) that can bind the mitotic kinase NIMA and suppress its lethal phenotype. We have previously demonstrated that Pin2/TRF1 levels are cell cycle-regulated and its overexpression induces...
