| | SPR Assay to Characterize Ternary Complex Formation with FKBP12 |
| Description: | Biotinylated avi-FKBP12 was immobilized on a streptavidin chip (Cytiva Series S SA) using a Biacore 8K or 8 k+ (Cytiva). To achieve an immobilization level of 100 RU, 0.3 g/ml biotinylated avi-FKBP12 were injected for 80 sec at a flow rate of 10 l/min. Serial dilution of FRB was prepared (12 concentrations, 3-fold dilutions, 0.00011-20 M) and supplemented with 100 nM of rapalog. A-B-A injection mode was used to ensure saturation immobilized FKBP12 with respective rapalog. 100 nM solution of the respective rapalog was injected before FRB injection for 120 sec and during dissociation for 420 sec. The FRB dilutions were then injected 120 seconds contact time with increasing concentrations. Rapamycin was used as reference sample. 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.05% Tween-20, 1% DMSO was used as running buffer at a flow rate of 30 l/min. The multi-cycle kinetics data were fit to a 1:1 binding model to measure the association rate ka (1/Ms), the dissociation rate kd (1/s) and the affinity Kd (M). In case of fast association and dissociation, steady state affinity analysis following the law of mass action was used to determine the affinity Kd (M). |
