| Abstract | Protein aggregates adsorb to material surfaces in a different manner than protein monomers and pose additional challenges for biosensor development with regard to non-specific adsorption (NSA). In this context, we describe herein the performance of a new antifouling thiol in a sensor coating resistant to NSA from lysozyme monomers and aggregates. Coatings were prepared as mixed self-assembling monolayers (SAMs) using a long polyethylene glycol carboxyl-terminated thiol (“PEG-COOH”) for the first time in conjunction with a shorter monoethylene glycol hydroxyl-terminated diluent thiol (“MEG-OH”). SAMs and their antifouling properties were characterized by a variety of surface analysis techniques. A key result was that the cleaning procedure drastically affects the antifouling properties of resulting MEG-OH based SAMs. Mixed PEG-COOH/MEG-OH SAMs formed on borohydride cleaned interfaces are able to reduce lysozyme NSA by >90% compared to bare gold; a remarkable performance also displayed for oligomers regardless of their stage of aggregation. Gratifyingly, subsequent SAM functionalisation with an anchoring layer of neutravidin for the preparation of a lysozyme sensor did not significantly alter the antifouling properties of the resulting assembly. The limit of detection for monomeric lysozyme by surface plasmon resonance was 0.3 μg mL−1 with a dynamic range of 3–50 μg mL−1 (R2 = 0.9993). The sensitivity of the technique for the aggregated lysozyme was almost two times higher than that for the protein monomer. |

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.
