Background:
This article aims to explore novel doxycycline derivatives for analyzing low concentrations of tetracyclines in biological matrices and food in competitive assays.
Results:
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was employed in an indirect competitive format using a bacterial tetracycline-dependent regulatory protein as receptor. Three doxycycline derivatives were synthesized and covalently bound to the surface of four different sensor chips. Parameters that influence the immobilization of the doxycycline derivatives and subsequent binding of the receptor protein were studied.
Conclusion:
The novel doxycycline derivatives were successfully used as competitors in an indirect SPR assay.

Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
