  • Method of binding a compound to a sensor surface
    Patent number: 7393448
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of non-covalently binding a compound to a sensor surface. The method comprises adsorbing a hydrophobin-like substance to at least a part of the sensor surface, such as an electrode. The invention further provides a sensor having a surface, at least a part of which is provided with a coating of a hydrophobin-like substance that comprises a non-covalently bonded compound.

  • Method for coating an object with hydrophobin at low temperatures
    Publication number: 20070166346
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for coating objects with hydrophobins. Provided is a method for providing the surface of an object with a hydrophobin coating, comprising contacting at least a part of an object with a hydrophobin-containing solution to form a hydrophobin layer on the surface of the object and exposing the layer to a pH below 7, preferably below 4, more preferably below 2, optionally in the presence of a detergent. Contacting can be performed at around room temperature and the hydrophobin-containing solution can be a supernatant of a culture medium of an organism that secretes a hydrophobin.

  • Method of binding a compound to a surface
    Publication number: 20050238685
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of binding a compound to at least a part of a surface of an object, the method comprising the step of adsorbing a hydrophobin-like substance to the surface. The invention provides a method of providing a surface of an object with a reactive compound comprising the steps of coating at least a part of the surface of the object with a coating of a hydrophobin-like substance and contacting the compound with the coated hydrophobin-like substance to form a non-covalent bond between the hydrophobin-like substance and the compound.
