In the development of high-performance materials for biosensing and bioseparation, an effective blocking treatment is important to decrease nonspecific adsorption onto the surfaces of protein-immobilized substrates and to increase the dispersion stability of substrate particles. Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) is known as an excellent blocking agent. Because of the nonionic properties, hydrophilicity and large steric-exclusion effect of PEG, 5 PEGylated surfaces and nano-and microscale particles show excellent non-fouling properties with various molecules 6 and high-dispersion stabilities, 7–9 respectively. Furthermore, in our recent studies, we discovered that PEGylation improves the functioning of immobilized proteins on solid surfaces and particles. For example, the antigen-binding efficiencies of an anti-C-reactive protein antibody-immobilized gold sensor surface 10 and anti-ferritin antibody-immobilized latex particles 11 were improved by the co-immobilization of densely packed PEG layers, consisting of sulfhydryl-terminated PEGs and oligoamine-terminated PEGs. The substrate reactivity of glucose dehydrogenase-immobilized gold nanoparticles was improved by the co-immobilization of PEG/polyamine block copolymer, 8 and lipase/PEG-polyamine/glucose dehydrogenaseimmobilized gold nanoparticle hybrids showed almost the same initial enzymatic activity after five repeated thermal treatments at 581C for 10 min. 12 These results indicate that the co-immobilization of PEG derivatives onto protein-immobilized substrates has potential as a treatment to strongly improve the performance of biosensing and bioseparation materials.The heat-induced inactivation of proteins is a disadvantage that often restricts their field of application. It is thought that heat-induced inactivation occurs because of the dissociation of intramolecular protein interactions. 13 Here, we report the preventative effect of a densely packed PEG layer against the heat-induced inactivation of streptavidin-immobilized magnetic beads (SA-MB). SA-MB co-immobilized with a PEG tethered-chain layer (PEG/SA-MB) were constructed by the co-immobilization of oligoamine-terminated PEGs onto SA-MB, and their biotin-binding efficiency was evaluated by measuring the amount of biotinylated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) captured by the modified SA-MB. We found that the capture efficiency of biotinylated ssDNA by PEG/SA-MB was twice that of unmodified SA-MB after repeated thermal treatments for 5min at 751C.
