Figure 6.
Binding of myosin and fibrin monomers measured by SPR. (A) Myosin (at the indicated concentrations in 10 mM HEPES, 250 mM NaCl, 3 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4) was applied to fibrin immobilized on the surface of the sensor chip and the relative SPR response (subtracting the response on the control BSA-coated surface) was recorded in a Biacore X system. (B) Fibrin prepared in the presence of 5 mM GPRP (in 10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 3 mM CaCl2, pH 7.4) was applied at the concentrations indicated in the inset to myosin immobilized on the surface of the sensor chip. The relative SPR response was recorded. The primary Req values were plotted (inset) and fitted to the equation described in “Materials and methods.”
