X Abstract

A new method for protein surface functionalization was developed that utilizes DNA-conjugated artificial polypeptides to capture recombinant target proteins from the solution phase and direct their deposition onto DNA-functionalized matrices. Protein capture is accomplished through the coiled-coil association of an engineered pair of heterodimeric leucine zippers. Incorporating half of the zipper complex directly into the polypeptides and labeling these polymers with ssDNA enables the polypeptide conjugates to form intermediate linkages that connect the target proteins securely to DNA-functionalized supports. This synthetic route provides an important alternative to conventional DNA-conjugation techniques by allowing proteins to be outfitted site-specifically with ssDNA while minimizing the need for postexpression processing. We demonstrate these attributes by (i) using the capture probes to prepare protein microarrays, (ii) demonstrating control over enzyme activity via deposition of DNA, and, (iii) synthesizing finite-sized, multiprotein complexes that are templated on designed DNA scaffolds in near quantitative yield.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
