Abstract
The preparation of a synthetic receptor for multivalent protein binding by a directed immobilization of bifunctional ligands was demonstrated using pentameric C-reactive protein (CRP) and a thiolated phosphocholine-containing ligand on a gold surface. CRP consisting of five identical, noncovalently linked subunits and having five phosphocholinebinding sites on the same face was complexed with 12-mercaptododecylphosphocholine. The complexes were reacted with a gold surface, which was blocked with BSA or 2-mercaptoethanol to avoid non-specific binding. CRP binding to the molecularly imprinted monolayer was investigated by surface plasmon resonance, exhibiting high sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 1 pM (0.12 ng/mL) and binding affinity (KA ~ 10-7-10-9 M-1) comparable to that of immobilized anti- CRP.

From Biodiversity to Chemical Diversity: Focus of Flavonoids
Flavonoids are the largest group of polyphenols, plant secondary metabolites arising from the essential aromatic amino acid phenylalanine (or more rarely from tyrosine) via the phenylpropanoid pathway. The flavan nucleus is the basic 15-carbon skeleton of flavonoids (C6-C3-C6), which consists of two phenyl rings (A and B) and a heterocyclic ...read more
