Background: Immobilized proteins hold promise as the basic units that have enabled a broad range of analytical applications within chemical measurement science. As yet, the co-immobilization of diverse proteins at precise ratio and whether they give rise to improved analytical performance remain challengeable. Herein, we utilized a circularly permuted HaloTag (cpHaloTag) to achieve the co-immobilization of two proteins at precise ratio, which was applied in developing a chromatographic method with improved specificity for pursuing dual-target compounds.

A series of one-point, site-specific immobilization methods have been developed, however, it still remains as a challenge how to avoid the proteins to move in all directions as well as conveniently regenerate the bio-devices. Herein, we have developed a bivalent affinity binding-inspired method for PPARγ immobilization using DNA aptamer and nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) chelation.
