The techniques developed to study protein interactions can be divided into a number of major categories (Table 31.1), including bioconjugation, protein interaction mapping, affinity capture, two-hybrid techniques, protein probing, and instrumental analysis (i.e., NMR, crystallography, mass spectrometry, and surface plasmon resonance). Many of these methods are dependent on the use of an initial bioconjugation step to discern key information on protein interaction partners. 

Another example listed in the table is graphite, the Frohlich mode of which is near 5.5 eV (2200 A) the boundaries of the negative e region are about 4 and 6.5 eV. The graphite surface plasmon has been tentatively identified as responsible for a feature in the interstellar extinction spectrum (see Section 14.5).

In addition to the fluorescence platform, several other novel detection techniques, including electrochemical and optical approaches, have been developed in order to alleviate the need for target labeling (36-44). Table 1 summarizes some of these approaches and their characteristics are compared with conventional fluorescence detection. Surface plasmon resonance imaging...

The concentration of free electrons N is derived from hcogp and yields the experimental number of electrons per formula unit ng which is corrected to set np (Rb,Cs)= 1. The expected values n. correspond to the bond model...

The experimental values of hcogp lead to the observed electron concentrations no (again referred to one formula unit), when using average values for Acc and the information about volumes taken from the crystal stmctures. (65) The expected values n are calculated on the basis of the bond model (Table 7). The experimentally derived values Uq are 20% smaller than the expected values Ug for the pure elements. In spite of the simplifications in the calculations, e.g. taking m instead of m, the determined electron deficiency seems to be real, as a decreased electron concentration is also calculated from the surface plasmon energies measured for Rb and Cs hy Kunz. 87)...

During the process, color changes from colorless to light yellow and yellow-brown indicating the formation of silver nanoparticles. After the process, the samples were subjected to spectrophotometric analysis. UV-Vis spectra are shown in Figure 12.3. The peak at 400—450 nm corresponds to the characteristic surface plasmon resonance of silver nanoparticles. Table 12.1 presents the results of nanoparticle size analysis. 

Mainly electrochemical (amperometric, potentiometric, impedimetric, or conductometric) and optical (IR, Raman, fluorescence, absorption, reflection, evanescence field, or surface plasmon resonance) transducers are used as the basis for biosensors. However, beside these there are other, less often employed transducers that make use of the piezoelectric effect, surface acoustic waves, or detection of heat generated in enzyme reactions [40, 41]. In the context of this work, the focus is on the specific features of electrochemical transducers. An overview showing the different fields of apphcation can be found in Sect. 2.11.1.5 (Table 2). 

Table 5.2-13 gives some of the parameters of surface plasmons for various metals. d (a>) is, in the jellium model, the distance of the centroid of the induced charge from the surface plane. d > 0 means that the centroid is outside the edge of the jellium. Figure 5.2-31 shows the dispersion curves of surface plasmons for Al(lll). For a more detailed discussion see [2.12].

In plasmon resonance gas sensors, which also usually operate at room temperatures, we have another situation. In these devices, in order to shift the operating point of the surface plasmon resonance toward an aqueous environment, a thin high-refractive index dielectric overlayer can be employed. The use of overlayers with higher refractive indexes allow for thinner overlayers and potentially better sensor sensitivity. Analysis of results obtained indicates that tantalum pentoxide, which has high refractive index (see Table 2.18) and good environmental stability, may be used for this purpose (Dostalek et al. 2001 Boozer 2003). 

In this section we discuss methods in which otons provide both the primary beam and the detected beam. The techniques discussed are listed in Table 21-1 namely, surface plasmon resonance, sum frequency generation, and ellipsometry. The electron and ion spectroscopic surface techniques described previously all suffer from one disadvantage they require an ultra-high vacuum environment and provide no access to buried interfaces. The photon spectroscopic methods described here can all deal with surfaces in contact with liquids and, in some cases, surfaces that are buried under transparent layers.
