ABSTRACT
The influence of mass transport on ligand binding to receptor immobilized in a polymer matrix, as detected with an evanescent wave biosensor, was investigated. A one-dimensional computer model for the mass transport of ligand between the bulk solution and the polymer gel and within the gel was employed, and the influence of the diffusion coefficient, the partition coefficient, the thickness of the matrix, and the distribution of immobilized receptor were studied for a variety of conditions. Under conditions that may apply to many published experimental studies, diffusion within the matrix was found to decrease the overall ligand transport significantly. For relatively slow reactions, small spatial gradients of free and bound ligand in the gel are found, whereas for relatively rapid reactions strong inhomogeneities of ligand within the gel occur before establishment of equilibrium. Several types of deviations from ideal pseudo-first-order binding progress curves are described that resemble those of published experimental data. Extremely transport limited reactions can in some cases be fitted with apparently ideal binding progress curves, although with apparent reaction rates that are much lower than the true reaction rates. Nevertheless, the ratio of the apparent rate constants can be semiquantitatively consistent with the true equilibrium constant. Apparently "cooperative" binding can result from high chemical on rates at high receptor saturation. Dissociation in the presence of transport limitation was found to be well described empirically by a single or a double exponential, with both apparent rate constants considerably lower than the intrinsic chemical rate constant. Transport limitations in the gel can introduce many generally unknown factors into the binding progress curve. The simulations suggest that unexpected deviations from ideal binding progress curves may be due to highly transport influenced binding kinetics. The use of a thinner polymer matrix could significantly increase the range of detectable rate constants.
