Affinity Chromatography01:03

Affinity Chromatography

2.8K
Affinity chromatography is a powerful technique extensively utilized for separating and purifying specific biomolecules from complex mixtures. It capitalizes on the highly selective binding between an analyte and its counterpart, such as antibody-antigen interactions. The counterpart is immobilized on the stationary phase, forming an affinity column. The stationary phase typically consists of solid support, such as agarose or porous glass beads, immobilizing the affinity ligand. The mobile...

Background:

  • Protein immobilization is crucial for biosensor stability and functionality.
  • Existing methods often lack control over protein orientation and can reduce activity.
  • There is a need for advanced immobilization strategies for next-generation biosensors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel affinity-based terpolymer coating for enhanced protein immobilization.
  • To investigate the binding capacity, stability, and reversibility of the new coating for histidine-tagged proteins.
