Abstract

This article reports the implementation of optical waveguide spectroscopy (OWS) for the quantitative time‐resolved observation of changes in the swelling behavior and mass density of protein‐functionalized hydrogel films. In the experiment, a thin film of an N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm)‐based polymer that supported optical waveguide modes is attached to a metallic sensor surface. IgG molecules are in situ immobilized in this gel by using novel coupling chemistry with a charge‐attraction scheme based on a tetrafluorophenol sulfonate active ester. The anti‐fouling properties of the functionalized hydrogel network and the kinetics of the affinity binding of protein molecules in the gel are investigated.

Numerous metal centers in proteins can be prepared in a redox state in which their ground state is paramagnetic. Complementary data provided by EPR, Mo ¨ssbauer, electron nuclear double resonance, magnetic circular dichroism, and NMR spectroscopies have therefore played a major role in the elucidati
