| Abstract |
Surface plasmon resonance is an optical technique that is utilized for detecting molecular interactions. Binding of a mobile molecule (analyte) to a molecule immobilized on a thin metal film (ligand) changes the refractive index of the film. The angle of extinction of light that is completely reflected after polarized light impinges upon the film, is altered, and monitored as a change in detector position for a dip in reflected intensity (the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon). Because the method strictly detects mass, there is no need to label the interacting components, thus eliminating possible changes of their molecular properties. We have utilized surface plasmon resonance to study interaction of proteins of inner-ear sensory epithelia. |
