Fig. 1. Measuring the affinity and kinetics of DAF[234] binding to EV11 by surface plasmon resonance. A, DAF[234] (12 µM) was injected (bar) for 22.5 s over sensor surfaces with a high level of (3020 RU), a low level of (1370 RU), or no (control) EV11 immobilized. An overlay plot of all three sensorgrams is shown, normalized to the same preinjection level. Inset, same sensorgrams after subtraction of the control sensorgram. In B, DAF[234] was injected (bar) at the indicated concentration for 22.5 s over sensor surfaces with EV11 (3020 RU) or no protein immobilized. An overlay plot is shown of all five sensorgrams after subtraction of their respective control sensorgrams. Curves, a fit of the simple Langmuir binding model (A + B AB) to all sensorgrams simultaneously gives a k[on] of 140,000 M 1·s 1 and a k[off] of 0.3 s 1. The curve fitting was performed by numerical integration using the global analysis option (i.e. simultaneous fitting of the association and dissociation phases) of BIAevaluation 3.0 (BIAcore AB). C, plot of the equilibrium response obtained in A during injection of different DAF[234] concentrations. Nonlinear curve fitting of the Langmuir binding model to these data (bar) gives a K[D] of 2.8 µM. Inset, Scatchard plot of the same data. A linear fit of these data (bar) also gives a K[D] of 2.8 µM.
