Research Project

Despite a number of existing immobilization techniques, which can be applied to proteins, resulting in protein-decorated surfaces, robust covalent immobilization still poses a challenge. Ensuring strong attachment of proteins to a solid support is, however, essential for subsequent force measurements considering protein binding. In my project I am striving to design and construct a self-assembling, DNA-programmed nanobody array. Furthermore, I am measuring rupture forces of the nanobodies and respective protein epitopes. Besides energy landscape investigation, in a longer perspective such a protein display could serve as a high throughput biodetector e.g. in disease screening.
