BIAcore : applications • Specificity • The extent to which different molecules interact with a single partner immobilized on a sensor surface reveals the specificity of an interaction • Qualitative (Yes/No) answers • Search for binding partners • Screen for inhibitor specificity • Test for cross-reactivity • Look for activity after purification • Kinetics and affinity determination • The kinetics of an interaction, i.e. the rates of complex formation (kon) and dissociation (koff) can be determined from the information present in a sensorgram, by fitting the data to interaction models. • For a simple 1:1 interaction, the equilibrium constant KD is the ratio of the kinetic rate coinstants, koff/kon • Concentration • Determined by monitoring the interaction of a molecule with a prepared sensor surface in the presence of a target molecule in solution (solution inhibition) or excess analyte (surface competition). Concentrations are calculated by interpolation of the binding responses on a calibration curve • Multiple interactions during complex formation • Complex formation can be monitored as each component is incorporated into a multimolecular complex
