    Abstract Beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) is a 99-residue protein that aggregates to form amyloid fibrils in dialysis-related amyloidosis. The protein provides a powerful model for exploration of the structural molecular mechanisms of fibril formation from a full-length protein in vitro. Fibrils have been assembled from beta(2)m under both low pH conditions, where the precursor is disordered, and at neutral pH where the protein is initially natively folded. Here we discuss the roles of sequence and structure in amyloid formation, the current understanding of the structural mechanisms of the early stages of aggregation of beta(2)m at both low and neutral pH, and the common and distinct features of these assembly pathways.

    Abstract The analytical characterization of biopharmaceuticals is a fundamental step in the early stages of development and prediction of their behavior in bioprocesses. Protein aggregation in particular is a common issue as it affects all stages of product development. In the present work, we investigate the stability and the aggregation kinetics of A33Fab, a therapeutically relevant humanized antibody fragment at a wide range of pH, ionic strength, and temperature. We show that the propensity of A33Fab to aggregate under thermally accelerated conditions is pH and ionic-strength dependent with a stronger destabilizing effect of ionic strength at low pH. In the absence of added salts, A33Fab molecules appear to be protected from aggregation due to electrostatic colloidal repulsion at low pH. Analysis by transmission electron microscopy identified significantly different aggregate species formed at low and high pH. The correlations between apparent midpoints of thermal transitions (Tm,app values), or unfolded mole fractions, and aggregation rates are reported here to be significant only at the elevated incubation temperature of 65 °C, where aggregation from the unfolded state predominates. At all other conditions, particularly at 4-45 °C, aggregation of A33 Fab was predominantly from a native-like state, and the kinetics obeyed Arrhenius behavior. Despite this, the rank order of aggregation rates observed at 45 °C, 23 and 4 °C still did not correlate well to each other, indicating that forced degradation at elevated temperatures was not a good screen for predicting behavior at low temperature.

    Abstract The structure adopted by biomaterials, such as proteins, at interfaces is a crucial parameter in a range of important biological problems. It is a critical property in defining the functionality of cell/bacterial membranes and biofilms (i.e., in antibiotic-resistant infections) and the exploitation of immobilized enzymes in biocatalysis. The intrinsically small quantities of materials at interfaces precludes the application of conventional spectroscopic phenomena routinely used for (bio)structural analysis due to a lack of sensitivity. We show that the interaction of proteins with superchiral fields induces asymmetric changes in retardation phase effects of excited bright and dark modes of a chiral plasmonic nanostructure. Phase retardations are obtained by a simple procedure, which involves fitting the line shape of resonances in the reflectance spectra. These interference effects provide fingerprints that are an incisive probe of the structure of interfacial biomolecules. Using these fingerprints, layers composed of structurally related proteins with differing geometries can be discriminated. Thus, we demonstrate a powerful tool for the bioanalytical toolbox.

    Abstract The production of biosensors for point of care diagnostics usually requires the immobilisation and storage of protein (for example, antigen or antibody) on a sensor surface, in a manner that retains a high degree of activity and low levels of non-specific binding. These characteristics have been assessed for polymer immobilised antigens (allergens) using an IgG binding assay and demonstrated further by assay with serum containing reactive IgEs.The activity of allergens immobilised on sensor chips using copoly(DMA–NAS–MAPS) and a spotting technique, as well as the specificity of their binding interactions with cognate immunoglobulins was assessed using Dual Polarisation Interferometry (DPI). The data obtained indicate that the allergens studied remain stable over long periods of time (at least 114 days). This performance compared favourably with other immobilisation methods. Allergen coated chips were tested in an anti-casein IgE assay using human serum from allergic and non-allergic donors. Detection of both total Ig and specific IgE was demonstrated using a secondary anti-IgE antibody. Furthermore, optical signal enhancement with streptavidin conjugated quantum dots was shown to yield responses for samples below 0.84ng/mL (0.35KU/L) of IgE, which overlap with the industrial quasi-standard ImmunoCAP® and is the clinically relevant threshold used to classify serum samples from allergic individuals.
