Popis: | Proteins are important tools for high-throughput analysis of biological events. We have developed a novel method to prepare a protein-based hydrogel, that is, a Three-Dimensional Nano-structured Protein Hydrogel (3-D NPH), which is composed of protein and polymer nano-particles. The 3-D NPH could be easily prepared by dispensing a protein and polymer mixture on a substrate. Surprisingly, gold particles conjugated with protein A diffused into the 3-D NPH which was made of mouse IgG through the pores. We have shown that the protein chips made with our 3-D NPH method has tremendously improved sensitivity in detecting protein-protein interactions compared with that of direct protein immobilization methods. |
