We report a surface passivation method based on dichlorodimethylsilane (DDS)-Tween-20 for in vitro single-molecule studies, which, under the conditions tested here, more efficiently prevented nonspecific binding of biomolecules than the standard poly(ethylene glycol) surface. The DDS-Tween-20 surface was simple and inexpensive to prepare and did not perturb the behavior and activities of tethered biomolecules. It can also be used for single-molecule imaging in the presence of high concentrations of labeled species in solution.
我们报告了一种基于二氯二甲基硅烷(DDS)-吐温-20 的表面钝化方法,用于体外单分子研究,在测试条件下,与标准聚乙二醇(PEG)表面相比,它能更有效地防止生物分子的非特异性结合。DDS-吐温-20 表面制备简单、成本低廉,且不会干扰连接的生物分子的行为和活性。它还可用于在溶液中存在高浓度标记物种的情况下进行单分子成像。
