The development of new chemistries for the covalent but reversible attachment of macromolecules to welldefined inorganic surface structures is being driven by the expanded realization of opportunities to investigate and exploit molecular recognition1, 2 of the surface-bound molecules. Molecules of interest that are “permanently” tethered to a probe surface may be exposed to a wide variety of environments or subjected to physical/chemical perturbations that would dissociate molecules simply adsorbed through noncovalent interactions. The overall goal of this investigation was to better define the chemistries needed to build nanoscale probe surface architectures with molecular devices functioning to bind and release covalently tethered molecules in defined areas on demand. We have focused on the use of coherent light to control the molecular release function. We also desired a mechanism to investigate directly the number, type, and chemical nature of surface residues involved in the covalent immobilization of proteins and other macromolecules to these surfaces. An objective was to explore the photolytic efficiency and photochemical reaction homogeneity of bonds involving azobenzene derivatives3 for the purpose of designing photolabile tethers that would enable simultaneous uncoupling/desorption upon laser irradiation. The photolytic component chosen for the construction of this device, 4, 4′-azodianiline (ADA), was incorporated at the end of a relatively short spacer arm that was terminated with carbonylimidazole as a suitable leaving group for covalent attachment of molecules (eg, peptides) with reactive nucleophile (s)(Figure 1). The model peptide chosen represents an interesting portion of the metal-binding domain in a protein referred to as histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG). 4 The peptide sequence is defined by a five-residue histidine-rich arrangement (GHHPH) repeated four times. The peptide was introduced to an array of ADA tetherprobe devices on a silica-based probe surface for evaluation of laser-induced uncoupling. An extensive surface wash procedure followed covalent coupling to remove all noncovalently bound material. Subsequent laser irradiation revealed several different photolytic events. In each case, uncoupling of the covalently tethered biomolecule was achieved, together with desorption, by irradiation with a single laser pulse (3 ns). The light-dependent release of the tethered biomolecules was characterized, in most cases, by an increase in mass of the uncoupled/desorbed biomolecule that allowed direct verification of the photolytic cleavage site within the tether-probe device (Figure 2). Results such as those shown in Figure 2A were typical; photolytic reaction products represented by peaks labeled (1) and (5) were most predominant (n) 12). In some experiments, the total number and predominant species of photolytic cleavage products appeared to vary, with peak (6) becoming the predominant species (Figure 2B, top). Although only two major photolytic reactions products were typically observed (ie, peak 1 together with either peak 5 or 6), in some cases (n) 5), only a single photolytic cleavage product was observed (Figure 2B, bottom). Factors most likely to affect the type of desorbed product observed upon photoninduced uncoupling include laser power, irradiation wavelength, and type of matrix preparation used to promote desorption/ionization. A detailed investigation of these factors is underway. The chemical remnants of tether left covalently attached to the dissociated biomolecule provide direct evidence of covalent linkage to the probe surface. The detailed chemical structure of the intact tether-probe device is …
