title: Detection of protein-ligand interaction on the membranes using C-terminus biotin-tagged alamethicin.
abstract: C-terminal biotin-tagged alamethicin, which has several alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) residues in its sequence, was synthesized by the preparation of the protected peptide segment using the 2-chlorotrityl resin, followed by conjugation with biotin hydrazide. Suppression of the channel current of the biotin-tagged alamethicin by the addition of streptavidin to the electrolyte was monitorable in real time using the planar lipid-bilayer method. The system was also applicable to the detection of interaction of the biotin-tagged alamethicin with the anti-biotin antibody.
