The technology of mercaptide self-assembly has previously been used to coat proteins onto metals, but is not practical for many surfaces. In this study, a short peptidic tag was employed for the electrochemical immobilization of proteins on metals (ECtag). A 6-mer histidine (alpha-amino-1H-imidazole-4-propionic acid) homopeptide was employed as an ECtag ligand, which forms coordinate bonds with Ni2+ and other divalent metal ions. Protein A was chosen as a model protein for the immobilization, and was genetically tagged with an ECtag for immobilization onto a Pt electrode surface through the reduction of ECtag:Ni2+ to ECtag:Ni by the electrode potential.
硫醇盐自组装技术此前已用于将蛋白质包覆在金属上,但对许多表面并不实用。在本研究中,一种短肽标签被用于蛋白质在金属上的电化学固定(EC标签)。一种六聚组氨酸(α-氨基-1H-咪唑-4-丙酸)同肽被用作EC标签配体,它与Ni2+和其他二价金属离子形成配位键。选择蛋白A作为固定化的模型蛋白,并通过基因标记一个EC标签,以便通过电极电位将EC标签:Ni2+还原为EC标签:Ni,从而将其固定在铂电极表面。
