Abstract:
1. A method for evaluating the affinity of one or more ligands for a peptide of interest, comprising the steps of: a) identifying said peptide of interest; b) preparing a sensor to be coupled to said peptide by depositing a Langmuir Blodgett film on said sensor, wherein said Langmuir-Blodgett film is prepared from monolayers formed from a method comprising the steps of: c) depositing said Langmuir-Blodgett film of step b) to said sensor; d) quantifying a signal output from said sensor; e) exposing said sensor to one or more ligands; and quantifying a signal output from said sensor after step e) and comparing to the previously obtained signal from step d) to thereby evaluate the affinity of said one or more ligands for said peptide of interest.
