• A voltammetric detection of ovalbumin was carried out using a binding between a peptide in lysozymes with an electroactive compound and ovalbumin.
• We evaluated the effect of the structure of the peptide to the binding.
• The concept becomes the electrochemical sensing method for proteins based on the protein–peptide interaction.
For this study, a new method was developed to electrochemically detect ovalbumin via its binding with the peptide-1(RNRCKGTDVQAW) in lysozymes. The peptide that exists at the C-terminal of a lysozyme was combined with ovalbumin. When an electroactive compound was introduced to the N-terminal side of the peptide through ethylene gycolbis(sulfosuccinimidyl succinate), the labeled peptide-1 served as a probe for the detection of ovalbumin. The electrode responses of labeled peptide-1 were measured after the labeled peptide-1 and ovalbumin were incubated in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 5.6). As a result, the electrode response decreased as the concentration of ovalbumin increased. The detection limit of ovalbumin was 2.3 × 10−11 M as estimated at 3-fold the standard deviation (3σ) (n = 5). Because the steric structure of the peptide and some of the amino acid residues were related to the binding, we prepared a peptide-2, to which the N- and C-terminals of peptide-1 were alternated. The decrease in the response for the labeled peptide-2 was less than that for the labeled peptide-1. In addition, the peak current of a peptide-3, for which the D of peptide-1 was replaced with S, was hardly changed with or without ovalbumin. Therefore, it was clear that the binding was influenced by the steric factors and by the sequence of the peptide. However, a peptide-1 with bis(sulfosuccinimidyl) suberate was designed to investigate the hydrophobic influences on the probe. The change in the peak current was smaller than that of peptide-1 with ethylene gycolbis(sulfosuccinimidyl succinate), which was due to the hydrophobic properties of the alkyl chain between the peptide and the ovalbumin. The proposed method could be applied to the determination of ovalbumin in egg whites. Consequently, the concept becomes an electrochemical sensing method for proteins based on the protein–peptide interaction.
Because ovalbumin was combined with lysozyme, a new method was developed to electrochemically detect ovalbumin via its binding with peptide contained in lysozyme. The measurement principle was based on the change of the electrode response caused by the binding between the peptide with an electroactive compound and ovalbumin.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
