Abstract
Whole‐column fluorescence‐imaged CIEF was applied to study protein–protein binding reaction. A homemade whole‐column fluorescence‐imaged CIEF experimental setup was built, and its CIEF performance was evaluated with native fluorescent protein green fluorescence protein and fluorescently labeled proteins (bovine albumin, human albumin, and BSA). p__I__s, focusing time, detection limits, and linear quantitative range of the proteins were obtained. Furthermore, the method was used to study FITC–protein A–human IgG binding reaction. Experimental results showed that the apparent binding ratio of the FITC–protein A to human IgG was 1:2, and p__I__ of the binding conjugates were about 6.3–6.5. No binding reaction was found between green fluorescence protein and the fluorescent‐labeled proteins.

Specific protein-binding reactions were monitored utilizing ligand-fluorescent dye conjugates which were substrates for porcine esterase. Biotin was coupled directly to umbelliferone through an ester bond, while 2,4-dinitrophenyl derivatives were conjugated to fluorescein via an ester linkage. Hydro
The adsorption of his-tag green fluorescent protein (GFPH 6 ) onto the mica surfaces has been studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and laser confocal fluorescence microscopy. By controlling the adsorption conditions, separated single GFPH 6 and GFPH 6 monolayer can be adsorbed and formed on mica
