S-MB and MB, each with a cysteine added to its N-terminus, were attached to the thiol Biacore chip as described in the text. Solutions of S-MB or MB in HBS-EP buffer (i.e., 10 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM EDTA, 0.005% surfactant P20) were then flowed over the respective chip-linked peptides. Typical SPR responses [Y-axis indicates the relative amount of binding in arbitrary response units (RU)] are shown for either 1 µg S-MB/ml buffer to chipped Cys-S-MB (black line) or chipped Cys-MB (green line), or with 1 µg MB/ml buffer to chipped Cys-S-MB (red line) or Cys-MB (blue line). Relative peptide affinities are: S-MB to S-MB ≫ S-MB to MB∼ MB to S-MB ∼ MB to MB.
