A new heterobifunctional reagent for immobilization of biomolecules on glass surface.
Synthesis of a new heterobifunctional reagent, [N-(2-trifluoroethanesulfonatoethyl)-N-(methyl)-triethoxysilylpropyl-3-amine] (NTMTA) is described for the immobilization of a variety of biomolecules on glass surface. Its triethoxysilyl group reacts with glass surface and trifluoroethanesulfonate ester structure reacts selectively with aminoalkyl/mercaptoalkyl function in biomolecules. The immobilization can be achieved by two ways involving two steps. The first route involves the reaction of NTMTA with glass beads followed by attachment of aminoalkyl- or mercaptoalkylated biomolecules. The second one involves the reaction of biomolecules, viz., oligonucleotides, proteins, etc., with NTMTA via their aminoalkyl or mercaptoalkyl functions to form a biomolecule conjugate, which is then reacted with glass beads (unmodified) to complete immobilization process. This has been demonstrated by successful immobilization of 5'-mercaptoalkyl- or aminoalkylated oligonucleotides and some commonly used enzymes on glass beads using NTMTA reagent.
