iam working on a biosensor design, to detect her2 protein using single strand DNA BIORECEPTOR, i need buffer to unbind thiol-modified oligo from AuNP, also a buffer to unbind PROTEIN-DNA ?
Removing Thiol ligands from Au surfaces is quite difficult without using another thiol based agent -> which would render the AuNP useless for further binding studies.
So my elaborate guess would be: use something like a diamine in high concentration and see if it works (ethylendiamine is the weapon of choice id say in this case).
