    Notes: Discusses the requirements in environmental monitoring - primarily in aqueous environments. Detection of substances below the ppb-level may be required. Many analytes lack intrinsic properties suitable for direct detection by a sensor. Therefore, separation, concentration, and chemical conversion may be required. Sensors may require calibration and conditioning. Efforts are taken to integrate these functions with sensor components to give integrated sensor systems, which allow unattended operation in the environment.

    Notes: [Auszug] Four high-molecular-weight proteins form the main subunits of the coat of Golgi-derived (non-clathrin) coated vesicles. One of these coat proteins, β-COP, is identical to a Golgi-associated protein of relative mass 110,000 (110K) that shares homology with the adaptin proteins of ...

    Notes: Abstract Many therapeutic drugs exert their effects by interaction with well defined molecular targets. Increasing knowledge in molecular biology allows identification of more and more molecular key compounds and in consequence a molecular approach to disease and therapy. As binding of drugs to their target compounds is a key event, binding assays with an appropriate target molecule are useful means for primary screening of novel substances. We have investigated the potential of thin film interference spectroscopy (RIFS) as a label free detection method for pharmaceutical screening in a binding inhibition assay. To meet the throughput requirements in pharmaceutical screening a parallel detection system based on imaging spectroscopy was constructed. Thrombin/thrombin inhibitor interaction was investigated as a model system. The thin film transducer was covalently modified with a thrombin inhibitor. Specific binding of thrombin and binding inhibition by inhibitor compounds could be observed. A test cycle of less than 10 min could be reached. The parallel setup allows the simultaneous detection of 96 binding curves and can reach a throughput of more than 106 samples per year.

    Notes: Abstract The cyanine dyes Cy5 and Cy5.5 are presented as a new long wavelength-excitable donor-acceptor dye pair for homogeneous fluoroimmunoassays. The deactivation pathways responsible for the quenching of the fluorescence of the antibody-bound donor are elucidated. Upon binding of the donor dye to the antibodies at low dye/protein ratios, its fluorescence quantum yield rises to unity. Higher dye/protein ratios lead to progressive aggregation of the dyes, which results in quenching of monomer fluorescence due to resonance energy transfer (RET) from the monomers to the nonfluorescent dimers. The dependence of the quenching efficiency on the labeling ratio is described quantitatively by assuming a Poisson distribution of the dyes over the antibodies. The maximum fluorescence intensity per antibody is obtained at a labeling ratio of 4. Upon formation of the antibody-antigen complex, electron transfer and RET to the antigen-bound acceptor dye occur. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements reveal that approximately 50% of the donor quenching is due to RET, while the residual quenching effect is caused by the static quenching process.

    Notes: Abstract The characterisation and optimisation of an optical immunoassay with label free detection based on Reflectometric Interference Spectroscopy (RIfS) is presented. The immunoprobe is operated in a sequential scheme, where Fab-fragments react with analyte molecules in a first step. In a second step the optical transducer is used to quantify the amount of unoccupied Fab- fragments in the reaction mixture binding to the hapten-modified transducer surface. For optimisation of the test, the Fab-fragment concentration was varied between 2×10-8 mol/l and 2.5× 10−9 mol/l. Down to a concentration of 5×10-9 mol/l a reduction in the limit of detection has been observed. At the lowest concentration investigated no further improvement has been found due to a reduced binding of the analyte and a strong decrease of antibody binding at the transducer surface. This finding could be explained by the thermodynamics of the antigen-antibody reaction and the performance of the optical transducer used. The limit of detection obtained is discussed with respect to thermodynamics, transducer characteristics and immunoprobe test format.
