demonstrated that uses spin-labels to link biofunctional groups, to
surfaces. BASL 3 has been synthesised in gram quantities and
shown to undergo Michael addition/elimination with thiol-
terminated bioligands. Subsequent reductive amination of these
products gave amino-terminated biofunctional spin-labels 6a and
7a, which could be attached to carboxy-functionalised surfaces
through peptide coupling. Similarly alkyne terminated mannosyl
spin-label 6b was synthesised, which will allow spin-labelling
through “click” chemistry. CW EPR spectroscopy was able to
report on the recognition of mannosyl spin-label 4 by the lectin
Con A and the biotin spin-label 5 by streptavidin. Aqueous gold
nanoparticles functionalised with either label 6a or label 7a were
also recognised by Con A and avidin-peroxidase, respectively.
Reversible nanoparticle agglomeration by Con A was observed
for the mannose functionalized nanoparticles. However, little
agglomeration was observed upon mixing biotin functionalized
nanoparticles with avidin-peroxidase, and EPR provided a binding
profile. To our knowledge this is the first applied example of a
spin-label that can link a wide variety of bioactive ligands to
surfaces, providing a new platform for future investigations of
multivalent protein interactions with surface-bound ligands and
substrates. Furthermore, with recent advances in in vivo EPR
imaging technology, spin-labelled bioactive ligands linked to
therapeutic nanostructures could be an exciting new class of
theranostic agents.[32]
