Protein-Protein Interactions

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are highly specific physical contacts established between two or more protein molecules, which are the result of biochemical events caused by electrostatic forces. It is critical to understand how they interact at residual levels during the early stage and later stage of drug development. Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi), namely Surface Plasmon Resonance Microscopy (SPRM), is a high-sensitive, real-time, label-free, and high-throughput technique which is used to study biomolecular interactions based on detecting the refractive index changes resulting from molecular binding. Moreover, protein-protein interactions play an important role in transcription and other biological processes.

Application example: Protein-protein interaction assay

Service Content: The affinities of candidate drug Antibody-1 and candidate drug Antibody-2 for EGFR, FcRn, FcγRIIIA were determined.Methods: Multi-concentration gradient fitting, multiple 3-fold SD screeningResults: The reliable affinity constants were obtained for later biological experiments and clinical trials. The Application of SPRi technology significantly reduces the time and cost in protein-protein interaction assay.

In conclusion, SPRi is a well-established leading technology for measuring binding association (ka) and dissociation rates (kd), affinities (KD) for protein-protein interactions.

FAQs

Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are crucial for various biological processes, including signal transduction, gene expression regulation, and enzymatic activities. They are specific physical contacts formed between two or more proteins, driven by biochemical forces such as electrostatic interactions.

Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging (SPRi) is a powerful, real-time, label-free technique that monitors protein-protein interactions by detecting changes in the refractive index caused by molecular binding. SPRi can measure binding affinity, kinetics, and dissociation rates, providing precise insights into protein interaction dynamics.

SPRi is used to study protein-protein interactions in various biological contexts, such as drug development and disease research. It helps quantify binding affinities, determine kinetic parameters, and monitor complex protein interactions, making it invaluable for understanding molecular mechanisms and optimizing therapeutic strategies.
