Abstract:
A Fischer carbene complex was grafted onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold or glass by a copper-free "click" reaction. Pendant lysine residues of protein A obtained from Staphylococcus aureus rapidly reacted with the electrophilic metal complex on SAM effecting a covalent attachment of protein A with the surface. The protein A coated surface further led to bioaffinity immobilization of rabbit IgG in an oriented manner, a feature that also permits its purification from rabbit serum. Rabbit IgG could be removed from protein A coated surface by pH adjustment. The regenerated protein A surface was reused three times without loss of activity.
