A dithiolated random copolymer with pendent phenylboronic acid residues [Cys-poly(3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid-co-N,N-dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide). Cys-poly(APBA-co-DMAPMA)] that shows the abilities of initiation, transfer, and termination (iniferter) was obtained by using a benzyl N,N-diethyldithiocarbarnoyl (BDC) derivative. The obtained disulfide-carrying copolymer was accumulated on a colloidal gold-immobilized glass Substrate, and the usefulness of the polymer brush as a sensing element for glycoproteins such as ovalbumin (OVA) was examined by UV-visible spectro photometry with the help of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The sensor showed a concentration-dependent binding of OVA with a detection limit of 100 W. and it had a very high stability at high ionic strength. The sensor chip could be used for a detection of another glycoprotein, avidin, as well. Furthermore, the binding of biotin-modified human serum albumin (biotinylated HSA) to the avidin-phenylboronic acid- (PBA-) carrying polymer brush complex and further specific binding of anti-HSA immunoglobulin G to the biotinylated HSA-avidin-PBA-carrying polymer brush ternary complex could clearly be observed. The polymer-brush-coated device examined here not only was useful as a simple sensor chip, but also is expected to open a new perspective on interfacial phenomena performed by various functional polymer brushes fixed to colloidal gold on glass substrates.
