Abstract
Over the past decade aptamers have emerged as a promising class of bioreceptors for biosensing applications with significant advantages over conventional antibodies. However, experimental studies comparing aptasensors and immunosensors, under equivalent conditions, are limited and the results are inconclusive, in terms of benefits and limitations of each bioreceptor type. In the present work, the performance of aptamer and antibody bioreceptors for the detection of a his-tagged protein, used as a model target, is compared. The bioreceptors are immobilized onto a nanostructured porous silicon (PSi) thin film, used as the optical transducer, and the target protein is detected in a real-time and label-free format by reflective interferometric Fourier transform spectroscopy. For the antibodies, random-oriented immobilization onto the PSi nanostructure results in a poor biosensing performance. Contrary, Fc-oriented immobilization of the antibodies shows a similar biosensing performance to that exhibited by the aptamer-based biosensor, in terms of binding rate, dynamic detection range, limit of detection and selectivity. The aptasensor outperforms in terms of its reusability and storability, while the immunosensor could not be regenerated for subsequent experiments.

Abstract
Site-specific immobilization of proteins on a surface has been a long-lasting challenge in the fields of biosensing and biotechnology because of the need for improving the biological activity of immobilized protein via the maximal exposure of its bioactive domain. Herein, we reported a new site-specific immobilization method for His-tagged proteins onto a vinyl sulfone (VS)-bearing surface in a covalent manner. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization indicated the specificity of the addition reaction of the imidazole group in histidine on the VS-bearing surface at pH 7.0. Solution-based experiments were carried out to verify the reaction priority of the imidazole residue of histidine with the VS group at neutral conditions. The real-time immobilization process of two His-tagged proteins (HaloTag-6His and anti-HER2 Fab-6His) on surfaces presenting VS, preactivated carboxyl, and NTA groups were studied by quartz crystal microbalance. Compared to the existing methods utilizing covalent (NHS/EDC activated carboxyl) and coordinate (Ni2+-NTA) linking, our method offers two significant advantages for protein immobilization: high density and high specificity. The orientation of the two His-tagged proteins on the VS-bearing surface was confirmed by an enzyme-linked assay and an HER2+ liposome binding experiment. Our method of site-specific immobilization of His-tagged proteins is efficient and straightforward, which would be helpful to expand the applications of recombinant proteins in enzyme immobilization, biosensor and array fabrication, and drug delivery system.

Abstract
The heme-based O2 sensor from Escherichia coli, EcDOS, exerts phosphodiesterase activity towards cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP), an important second messenger that regulates biofilm formation, virulence, and other important functions necessary for bacterial survival. EcDOS is a two-domain protein composed of an N-terminal heme-bound O2-sensing domain and a C-terminal functional domain. O2 binding to the heme Fe(II) complex in the O2-sensing domain substantially enhances the catalytic activity of the functional domain, a property with potentially promising medical applications. Mesoporous silica is a useful material with finite-state machine-like features suitable for mediating numerous enzymatic functions. Here, we successfully encapsulated EcDOS into mesoporous silica, and demonstrated that encapsulated EcDOS was substantially activated by CO, an alternative signaling molecule used in place of O2, exhibiting the same activity as the native enzyme in aqueous solution. Encapsulated EcDOS was sufficiently stable to exert its enzymatic function over several experimental cycles under aerobic conditions at room temperature. Thus, the present study demonstrates the successful encapsulation of the heme-based O2 sensor EcDOS into mesoporous silica and shows that the native gas-stimulated function of EcDOS is well conserved. As such, this represents the first application of mesoporous silica to an oxygen-sensing-or any gas-sensing-enzyme.

Abstract
Three calix[4]arene (Cal-4) derivatives which separately contain ethylester (1), carboxylic acid (2), and crownether (3) at the lower rim with a common reactive thiol at the upper rim were synthesized and constructed to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on Au films. After spectroscopic characterization of the monolayers, surface coverage and orientation of antibody immobilized on the Cal-4 derivative SAMs were studied by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. Experimental results revealed that the antibody could be immobilized on the Cal-4 derivatives spontaneously. The orientation of absorbed antibody on the Cal-4 derivative SAMs is related to the SAM’s dipole moment. The possible orientations of the antibody immobilized on the Cal-4 derivative 1 SAM are lying-on or side-on, while on the Cal-4 derivative 2 and Cal-4 derivative 3 head-on and end-on respectively. These experimental results demonstrate the surface dipole moment of Cal-4 derivative appears to be an important factor to antibody orientation. Cal-4 derivatives are useful in developing site direct protein chips.

Abstract
Escherichia coli Direct Oxygen Sensor (Ec DOS, also known as Ec DosP) is a heme-based O2-sensing phosphodiesterase from Escherichia coli that catalyzes the conversion of cyclic-di-GMP to linear di-GMP. Cyclic-di-GMP is an important second messenger in bacteria, highlighting the importance of understanding structure-function relationships of Ec DOS. Ec DOS is composed of an N-terminal heme-bound O2-sensing PAS domain and a C-terminal phosphodiesterase catalytic domain. Notably, its activity is markedly enhanced by O2 binding to the heme Fe(II) complex in the PAS sensor domain. X-ray crystal structures and spectroscopic and catalytic characterization of the wild-type and mutant proteins have provided important structural and functional clues to understanding the molecular mechanism of intramolecular catalytic regulation by O2 binding. This review summarizes the intriguing findings that have obtained for Ec DOS.

Abstract
We used a ProteoChip coated with a calixcrown derivative protein linker to measure adiponectin and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels and compared the results with commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. Adiponectin and MCP-1 levels in normal human serum and RAW264 cell supernatants, respectively, were measured. The ProteoChip quantification results correlated with those from the ELISA kits; however, the ProteoChip required less sample volume, exhibited higher sensitivity, and had a wider detection range. The ProteoChip was capable of detecting and quantifying small amounts of protein, possibly replacing ELISA kits in evaluating the levels of adiponectin and MCP-1.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is one of the most important PTMs in biological organism. Lectins such as concanavalin A (Con A) have been widely applied to N-glycosylated protein investigation. In this study, we developed Con A-immobilized magnetic nanoparticles for selective separation of glycoproteins. At first, a facile immobilization of Con A on aminophenylboronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles was performed by forming boronic acid-sugar-Con A bond in sandwich structure using methyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside as an intermedium. The selective capture ability of Con A-modified magnetic nanoparticles for glycoproteins was tested using standard glycoproteins and cell lysate of human hepatocelluar carcinoma cell line 7703. In total 184 glycosylated sites were detected within 172 different glycopeptides corresponding to 101 glycoproteins. Also, the regeneration of the protein-immobilized nanoparticles can easily be performed taking advantage of the reversible binding mechanism between boronic acid and sugar chain. The experiment results demonstrated that Con A-modified magnetic nanoparticles by the facile and low-cost synthesis provided a convenient and efficient enrichment approach for glycoproteins, and are promising candidates for large-scale glycoproteomic research in complicated biological samples.

Abstract
Effective investigation of biomolecular structure and function with chip-basedmodern instruments often requires reliable and steady attachment of designatedbiomolecules on substrate. Here, we investigated the formation of self-assembled monolayer(SAM) with a new calix[4]arene derivative containing bisazacrown ether at the lower rim(calix[4]bisazacrown) where ammonium moieties of proteins can mainly be interacted with.Immobilization process of protein using bovine serum albumin (BSA) on the Au surfacemodified with calix[4]bisazacrown monolyer as an artificial linker system was monitored bysurface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. The surface concentration of BSA calculatedby the simulation of SPR experimental data was higher than that of a well-known similarcommercial protein linker. These results can help in modeling and understanding of proteinimmobilization on solid surface as well as further development lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devicesfor biomedical diagnosis kit of certain protein related diseases as biomarkers.

Abstract
Orientation of reagents is a key step in the construction of immunosensors. When the immunoreagent is a recombinant protein, this can be achieved by employing hexahistidine tags. The orientation of recombinant histidine-tagged Fab fragments of monoclonal anti-pneumolysin antibodies on gold films is evaluated. Using histidine as a chelator of Ni or employing an anti-polyhistidine antibody for capturing the His6 residue is considered. Measurements are based in the signal of indigo, which comes from the hydrolysis of 3-indoxylphosphate by alkaline phosphatase (AP). The attachment of the enzyme occurs through the interaction of biotin with AP-labelled streptavidin or employing AP-conjugated immunoreagents. In the case of the interaction Ni-histidine, for the study of the self-assembling process a His-tagged and biotinylated protein (His6-GST-B) was employed. General conditions were studied and non-specific adsorption was avoided with the use of 1-hexanethiol. Improvements of the signal compared with the direct adsorption were only achieved by the use of histidine capturing antibodies. With an optimised ratio anti-polyhis:His6-Fab the signal increases approximately a 100%. Precision is adequate and the response is linear with the concentration of pneumolysin between 0.1 and 10 ng/mL.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the use of the protein calmodulin, CaM, as an affinity tag for the reversible immobilization of enzymes on surfaces. Our strategy takes advantage of the of the reversible, calcium-mediated binding of CaM to its ligand phenothiazine and of the ability to produce fusion proteins between CaM and a variety of enzymes to reversibly immobilize enzymes in an oriented fashion to different surfaces. Specifically, we employed two different enzymes, organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) and beta-lactamase and two different solid supports, a silica surface and cellulose membrane modified by covalently attaching a phenothiazine ligand, to demonstrate the versatility of our immobilization method. Fusion proteins between CaM-OPH and CaM-beta-lactamase were prepared by using genetic engineering strategies to introduce the calmodulin tail at the N-terminus of each of the two enzymes. In the presence of Ca(2+), CaM adopts a conformation that favors interaction between hydrophobic pockets in CaM and phenothiazine, while in the presence of a Ca(2+)-chelating agent such as EGTA, the interaction between CaM and phenothiazine is disrupted, thus allowing for removal of the CaM-fusion protein from the surface under mild conditions. CaM also acts as a spacer molecule, orienting the enzyme away from the surface and toward the solution, which minimizes enzyme interactions with the immobilization surface. Since the method is based on the highly selective binding of CaM to its phenothiazine ligand, and this is covalently immobilized on the surface, the method does not suffer from ligand leaching nor from interference from other proteins present in the cell extract. An additional advantage lies in that the support can be regenerated by passing through EGTA, and then reused for the immobilization of the same or, if desired, a different enzyme. Using a fusion protein approach for immobilization purposes avoids the use of harsh conditions in the immobilization and/or regeneration steps, which could cause inactivation of the immobilized enzyme. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the CaM affinity tag allows immobilization of enzymes on a variety of surfaces without compromising their enzymatic activity substantially; for example, the immobilized OPH retained more than 80% of the activity of the free enzyme. Our results with beta-lactamase showed the feasibility of using a phenothiazine surface in several consecutive loading and regeneration cycles. This can be advantageous when expensive and/or difficult to obtain immobilization surfaces have to be employed; the immobilization surface could be reused to immobilize the same or a different enzyme using the CaM affinity tail. We also determined that the phenothiazine-modified silica particles are stable for long periods of time, i.e., up to 2 years when stored at 4 degrees C. It is envisioned that this type of reversible immobilization may find applications in the development of reversible, reusable biosensors and bioreactors endowed with the additional advantage that the biological element at the surface of the sensor or bioreactor could be replaced under mild conditions when needed to sense or process a different target molecule.

Abstract
A bipolar photodiode array (PDA) protein chip is presented for the detection of E. coli O157:H7. Through unique design of the bipolar PDA microchip, the device was able to detect E. coli O157:H7 directly on the surface of the bipolar PDA. The bipolar PDA microchip maintained low noise level in the entire process of on-chip protein assay and demonstrated high performance of analog signal processing. At every reaction step of the on-chip bioassay, stability of wet photodiode detection elements was confirmed by monitoring the variance of their photosignals with respect to the irradiated red beam. The background signal represented less than 1.8% variance with respect to maximum signal of photodiode detection elements. As a result of using the on-chip bioassay, any complicated optical alignment and components could be removed in the constructed protein chip. This protein chip enables direct optical detection of E. coli O157:H7 eliminating the need of conventional expensive microplate reader that is incompatible with size of sampling platform of protein chip. The independence of the constructed protein chip on conventional microplate reader can contribute greatly to further miniaturization of protein chip and field usable lab-on-a-chip.

Abstract
Ultrathin poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) stereocomplex films with macromolecularly double-stranded regular nanostructures were prepared by layer-by-layer assembly of isotactic and syndiotactic PMMAs on solid surfaces. Antibodies were immobilized through the Fc region-capturing protein A, which had been physically adsorbed on the complex film, and the binding of antigens to immobilized antibodies was quantitatively investigated by the quartz crystal microbalance technique. Greater amounts of protein A with native forms were adsorbed on the complex film than those on conventional single-component PMMA films. Antibodies with high target-binding activities were also immobilized on the complex film. A greater amount of antigens could be detected on the complex film. The activity of protein A was maintained on the complex for a long time even within a dried state. The mechanism for the preservation of protein native forms on the complex surface was speculated by analyzing the physical adsorption of proteins with various secondary structures. Stereocomplex films can be utilized as novel coating nanomaterials for efficiently detecting protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
Molecular recognition of protonated aliphatic polyamines has been studied at calix[4]crown-5 self-assembled monolayer modified gold electrodes by electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (EIS) experiments. The energy of complex formation between the calix [4]crown-5 molecule and a series of alkyl ammonium ions was shown by molecular modeling and EIS experiments to depend on the number of amine groups in the alkyl chain as well as the number of methylene groups between the amine groups. The structures of complexes formed between the crown ether on the lower rim of calix[4]arene and protonated amines were determined by minimizing the complex formation energies. The adducts thus formed on the SAM rendered the electron transfer from the electrode to the probe (Fe(CN)63-/4- pair) easier or more difficult depending on the number of ammonium groups and their arrangement in linear alkyl chains. Analytical procedures have been developed to detect protonated spermidine (a recognized cancer marker) in simulated urine, blood, erythrocyte, and cerebrospinal fluids.

Abstract
We report here the development and characterization of protein microarrays fabricated on nanoengineered 3-D polyelectrolyte thin films (PET) deposited on glass slide by consecutive adsorption of polyelectrolytes via self-assembly technique. Antibodies or antigens were immobilized in the PET-coated glass slides by electrostatic adsorption and entrapment of porous structure of the 3-D polymer film and thus establishing a platform for parallel analysis. Both antigen and antibody microarrays were fabricated on the PET-coated slides, and direct and indirect immunoassays on protein microarrays for multiple-analyte detection were demonstrated. Microarrays produced on these PET-coated slides have consistent spot morphology and provide performance features needed for proteomic analysis. The protein microarrays on the PET films provide LOD as low as 6 pg/mL and dynamic ranges up to three orders of magnitude, which are wider than the protein microarrays fabricated on aldehyde and poly-L-lysine functionalized slides. The PET films constructed by self-assembly technique in aqueous solution is green chemistry based, cost-effective method to generate 3-D thin film coatings on glass surface, and the coated slide is well suited for immobilizing many types of biological molecules so that a wide variety of microarray formats can be developed on this type of slide.

Abstract
Protein microarray technology is a powerful, popular tool for the high-throughput analysis of protein interactions. One important use for protein microarray technology is protein quantification by immunoassay, which was originally based on enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Recently, new research and diagnostic applications have created a need for a rapid and easily applied high-throughput protein quantification method. Here, we introduce several novel techniques that address these needs. Our improved protein microarray-based sandwich immunoassay techniques allow researchers to: (1) control the size and shape of protein spots on the microarray using a perforated seal; (2) analyze two proteins within a single spot, thus increasing the number of tests run on a single microarray without increasing the number of protein spots; (3) improve the efficiency and speed of the Ag-Ab interaction through vibratory reagent convection, which increased the signal intensity by more than two-fold and decreased the reaction time from 30 to 10 min. These new techniques will facilitate rapid immunoassays for diagnostic purposes and other research areas utilizing protein microarray analysis, such as investigations of ligand-receptor or protein-small molecule interactions.

Abstract
We modified gold arrays with a glutathione (GSH) surface, and investigated high-throughput protein interactions with a spectral surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. We fabricated the GSH exterior on gold surfaces by successive modification with aminoethanethiol, 4-maleimidobutyric acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester and GSH. We immobilized GST-Rac1, GST-RhoA, the GST-Rho-binding domain of rhotekin and the GST-p21-binding domain of PAK1 onto the GSH surface, and observed specific antigen-antibody interactions on the GST-fusion protein arrays. We determined the expression of GST-fusion proteins in Escherichia coli on the GSH surface with the SPR biosensor. We then analyzed the interactions of tissue transglutaminase (tTGase), a Ca2+-dependent enzyme, with RhoA and Rac1 on the GST-fusion protein arrays with the SPR biosensor. We found that tTGase interacted with RhoA and Rac1 in a Ca2+-dependent manner, indicating that the interactions were dependent on tTGase activity. In addition, transamidation of Rac1 by tTGase was dependent on Ca2+ concentration. We obtained similar results with GST pull-down assays. Thus, protein arrays prepared on the GSH surface provide a useful system for the high-throughput analysis of GST-fusion protein expression and activity-dependent protein interactions with the spectral SPR biosensors.

Abstract
Recent studies have revealed a new class of heme enzymes, the heme-based sensors, which are able to turn on or off cellular signal transduction pathways in response to environmental changes. One of these enzymes is the heme-regulated phosphodiesterase from Escherichia coli (EcDOS). This protein is composed of an N-terminal heme-containing PAS domain and a C-terminal functional domain. PAS is an acronym formed from the names of the Drosophila period clock protein (PER), vertebrate aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT), and Drosophila single-minded protein (SIM). The heme cofactor in its PAS domain can act as a sensor of the cellular redox state that regulates the adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase activity. The crystal structures of its heme-containing PAS domain have helped clarify how the heme redox-dependent structural changes initiate intramolecular signal transduction. Here, we review recent findings on the structure-function relationships of EcDOS.

Abstract
The continuing improvement and refinement of proteomic and bioinformatic tools has made it possible to obtain increasing amounts of structural and functional information about proteins on a global scale. The emerging field of neuroproteomics promises to provide powerful strategies for further characterizing neuronal dysfunction and cell loss associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Neuroproteomic studies have thus far revealed relatively comprehensive quantitative changes and post-translational modifications (mostly oxidative damage) of high abundance proteins, confirming deficits in energy production, protein degradation, antioxidant protein function, and cytoskeletal regulation associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease. The identification of changes in low-abundance proteins and characterization of their functions based on protein-protein interactions still await further development of proteomic methodologies and more dedicated application of these technologies by neuroscientists. Once accomplished, however, the resulting information will certainly provide a truly comprehensive view of neurodegeneration-associated changes in protein expression, facilitating the identification of novel biomarkers for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases and new targets for therapeutic intervention.
