title: Thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the interaction between hepatitis B surface antibody and antigen on a gold electrode modified with cysteamine and colloidal gold via electrochemistry.
abstract: Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) was immobilized to the surface of a gold electrode modified with cysteamine and colloidal gold as matrices to detect hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) method was used for the investigation of the specific interaction between the immobilized HBsAb and HBsAg in solution, which was followed as a change of peak current in DPV with time. With the modified gold electrode, the differences in affinity of HBsAb with HBsAg at the temperatures of 37 and 40 degrees C were easily distinguished and the kinetic rate constants (k(ass) and k(diss)) and kinetic affinity constant K were determined from the curves of current versus time. In addition, the thermodynamic constants, DeltaG, DeltaH and DeltaS, of the interaction at 37 degrees C were calculated, which were -56.65, -64.54 and -25.45 kJ mol(-1), respectively.
