3.3.2. Formation of a Lipid Monolayer on H50 ProteinChip Arrays<br />

1. Place H50 ProteinChip arrays in a humidity chamber.<br />

2. Load each spot with 5 �L of CHAPS (30 mg/mL), and immediately wick off using<br />

aKimwipe.<br />

3. Remove any residual detergent by washing with PB; load 5 �L of PB per spot and<br />

incubate for 2 min on a shaking platform; repeat for a total of three washes.<br />

4. Load 5 �L of the 41 �M POPC/POPS mixture or PB to each spot and incubate for<br />

2hat37◦C. 5. To remove unbound lipid, wash spots with 5 �LofPBtwicefor2minonashaking<br />

platform.<br />

3.3.3. Protein Binding to the Lipid-Coated H50 ProteinChip Arrays<br />

1. Prepare samples in PB to a final concentration of 50 �M andload5�L onto spots<br />

coated with either the POPC/POPS lipid mixture or PB alone.<br />

Fig. 3. Analysis of peptide–lipid interactions using ProteinChip arrays. Vesicles are<br />

absorbed to H50 ProteinChip arrays via interactions with C8 functional groups, creating<br />

a supported lipid monolayer on the chip surface (A, B). Samples are applied to the chip,<br />

incubated for 5 min (C), and washed to remove nonspecifically bound proteins (D).<br />

Matrix is added (E), and the array is introduced into the ProteinChip reader, where the<br />

laser is fired onto the chip surface. <strong>Peptide</strong>s retained on the surface are finally resolved<br />

by TOF-MS, displaying mass-to-charge versus signal intensity (F, G). (Adapted from<br />

ProteinChip technology training course, Bio-Rad Laboratories.)
