Fluorescence quantification for surface plasmon excitation.
Surface plasmon resonance and surface plasmon fluorescence spectroscopy in combination have the potential to distinguish multicomponent surface processes. However, surface intensity variations from resonance angle shifts lead to a nonlinear response in the fluorescence intensity. We report a method to account for surface intensity variations using the experimentally measured relationship between fluorescence and reflectivity. We apply this method to monitor protease adsorption and proteolytic substrate degradation simultaneously. Multilayer protein substrates are prepared for these degradation studies using a layer-by-layer technique.
