General description
•3 vials of 100 nm NHS-Activated Gold Nanoparticles (lyophilized)
•Protein Resuspension Buffer - 1.5ml
•Reaction Buffer - 1.5ml
•Quencher Solution - 1.5ml
•Reaction protocol
The gold nanoparticles in this kit are supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) mixture. The conjugation reaction is initiated by simply reconstituting the freeze-dried nanoparticles with the protein of interest, which attaches to the nanoparticle surface via lysine residues.
The gold conjugation procedure has a quick hands-on time of around 10 minutes, and the conjugate is fully ready for use within 3 hr. Researchers only need to pipette the biomolecule into a vial containing the nanoparticles, quench the reaction, and perform product washing through microcentrifugation.
The provided protocol is optimized for highly efficient covalent conjugation, resulting in stable gold nanoparticle conjugates. Optional protocol steps involve additional materials, such as 10% aqueous BSA (126615) and Tris saline resuspension buffer (PPB002), which are sold separately.
Application
Features and Benefits
•Fast and convenient conjugation reaction with no need for pre-activation.
•A spacer between the gold nanoparticle surface and the conjugated ligand minimizes the impact on the tertiary protein structure. This reduces the likelihood of poor performing conjugates, a common issue encountered with conjugates prepared by passive adsorption.
•Gold surface coating is precisely engineered to minimize non-specific protein binding in biological assays.
