title: Controlling protein orientation at interfaces using histidine tags: an alternative to Ni/NTA.
abstract: A strategy for immobilizing histidine-tagged proteins at surfaces has been developed by using a macrocyclic chelator that enhances the stability and specificity of conventional histidine-tag technology and allows application of this technology to long-term studies including direct electrochemistry.
