| Abstract | A two-dimensional pattern of oriented antibody fragments was formed at the air-water interface and transferred onto a solid support. The Fab'-fragments of a monoclonal antibody against the hapten dinitrophenyl (DNP) were covalently linked via a hydrophilic spacer to phospholipid vesicles. A monomolecular lipid-protein layer at equilibrium with these vesicles was allowed to form at the air-water interface. The monolayer was separated from the vesicle phase and transferred to a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. By cooling and compressing, the previously homogeneous lipid-protein film was driven into a two-dimensional phase separation resulting in protein-rich domains and a second phase consisting mainly of lipid. This film was transferred onto a solid support in a way that preserved the protein-lipid pattern. The specificity as well as the contrast in the binding activity of the two different separated phases were then quantified using microfluorometry. DNP conjugated to fluorescein-labeled bovine serum albumin (BSA) showed virtually no binding to the lipid regions, but gave a ratio of bound DNP-BSA to Fab'-lipid of greater than 50% in the protein-rich domains proving that the Fab'-moiety retained its biological activity. This demonstrates that the technique presented here is well suited to modify different solid surfaces with a pattern of a given biological function. The optional control of lateral packing and orientation of the components in the monolayer makes it a general tool for the reconstitution of supported lipid-protein membranes and might also open new ways for the two-dimensional crystallization of proteins at membranes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
