Introduction Triazine-based dye molecules attracted great attention in the field of protein affinity studies [1–5].

They are able to bind a variety of proteins based on highly specific molecular recognition in a reversible manner [8–11]. Triazine-based dyes are commercially available and cheap. The immobilization of these dyes on surfaces is also very easy [6,12]. Although these dye molecules are synthetic in nature, they are classified as affinity ligands due to their interaction with the active sites of proteins by mimicking the structure of the cofactors, substrates, or binding agents for those proteins [2]. A number of textile dyes, known as reactive dyes, can be used for protein related studies.

Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB) is one of the most commonly used dye ligands for protein affinity studies [13]. It is a derivative of monochlorotriazine dye (antraquinone textile dye) which contains three titrable acidic sulfonate and four basic primary and secondary aromatic amine groups and it is also commercially important in the dyeing of cellulose fibers [12,14,15]. Its affinity to serum albumin is studied in details and reported in the literature [16–19]. It is known that CB interacts specifically and reversibly with albumin by the combination of hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions [7]. However, the number of studies including elec- trochemistry of CB is very limited [6,15,20].

In this work, to the best of our knowledge, CB was used forodifying the disposable pencil graphite electrodes (PGEs) and

ts affinity for protein adsorption was explored for the first timen the literature. CB modified electrodes were prepared by usingyclic voltammetry (CV) and passive adsorption techniques. Char-cterization of the modified surfaces was performed using scanninglectron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) andlectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In order to obtainore sensitive electrochemical signals, numbers of cyclic scans

nd the concentration of CB were studied. Then CB modified elec-rodes were used for bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption.lectrochemical response of the CB modified electrode after pro-ein interaction was compared with the electrochemical responsef the CB modified PGE.

. Experimental

.1. Apparatus

Electrochemical studies were carried out with CHI 660C. A dis-osable graphite working electrode (PGE), a saturated calomeleference electrode (SCE) (BAS, USA) and a Pt wire (Aldrich) counterlectrode were used. SEM images were obtained by Zeiss Evo 50P-SEM Model Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (USA). AFMmages were obtained by Nanomagnetics Instruments (Oxford, UK).

.2. Reagents and preparation of solutions

Cibacron Blue F3GA, bovine serum albumin, tryptophan, glucosend immunoglobulin G were purchased from Sigma. Other chemi-als were in analytical reagent grade and they were supplied fromldrich and Merck.

0.1 M phosphate buffer solutions (PBS, pH: 7.4) were preparedrom NaH2PO4 (Fluka), Na2HPO4·2H2O (Fluka) and H3PO4 (Merck)sing deionized water. 5 mM Fe(CN)6

3−/4− containing 0.1 M KClMerck) was prepared from K3Fe(CN)6 (Fisher) and K4Fe(CN)6Fisher). 2 mg/mL CB was prepared using PBS and protein solutionsere prepared using PBS containing 20 mM NaCl, freshly.

.3. Procedure

All the experiments were repeated three times at the room tem-erature.

.3.1. The preparation of CB modified PGEs by using cyclicoltammetry (CV) technique

The modification of CB on PGE was accomplished by using CVetween 0.0 V and 1.4 V vs. SCE for 75 scans. The modified electrodeas washed with PBS for 30 s and allowed to dry.

.3.2. The preparation of CB modified PGEs by using passivedsorption technique

The preparation of CB modified PGE was accomplished bymmersing the PGE in CB solution for 24 h. Modified electrode was

ashed with PBS for 30 s and allowed to dry.

.3.3. The adsorption of proteins onto the CB modified PGEsThe adsorption of proteins onto the CB modified PGEs was per-

ormed immersing the modified PGEs in protein solutions for 1 h.he electrode was washed with PBS for 30 s after protein-CB mod-fied electrode interaction.

2.3.5. Impedance measurementsElectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements

were controlled at the open-circuit value; +0.15 V vs. SCE and thefrequency was varied over the range 105 to 10−1 Hz with an ampli-tude of 10 mV in the presence of 5 mM K3[Fe(CN)6]/K4[Fe(CN)6](1:1) mixture as a redox probe prepared in 0.1 M KCl.

2.3.6. Microscopic characterization of unmodified PGE and CBmodified PGE

SEM characterization of unmodified and CB modified PGEs wasperformed in a resolution magnitude of 200 nm after precoatingsamples with a homogeneous gold layer by ion sputtering. AFMwas performed in tapping mode using a silicon tip.

3. Results and discussion

Surface morphologies of the unmodified and CB modified PGEsprepared by using CV technique were characterized with differ-ent microscopic techniques; SEM and AFM. Fig. 1A and B shows theSEM images of unmodified and CB modified PGEs, respectively. Thesurface roughness of unmodified PGE was monitored successfullyin Fig. 1A. The surface morphology of the PGE changed after elec-trochemical modification of CB onto PGE (Fig. 1B). Electrochemicalmodification of the dye was performed using 2 mg/mL CB solutionwith 75 cyclic scans. It is clear from SEM image of CB modified PGEthe electrode surface showed a porous structure after dye modifi-cation. The AFM image of the modified electrode prepared by usingCV technique is also shown in Fig. S1.

The aim of this study was to prepare dye modified electrodes forthe investigation of CB-serum albumin interaction. For providingeasy, simple, fast and stable modification of CB on PGE, two differenttechniques; cyclic voltammetry and passive adsorption were used.The electrochemical responses of the modified electrodes preparedwith these two techniques were compared. Fig. 2A and B shows theCVs of CB modified PGEs prepared by CV and passive adsorptiontechniques, respectively. In order to obtain sensitive and improvedelectrochemical signals the modification of CB on PGE was per-formed using different number of cyclic scans (25, 50 and 75 scans,Fig. 2A-i–iii, respectively) in 2 mg/mL CB solution. There were twooxidation peaks at about +0.94 V and +0.52 V vs. SCE and one reduc-tion peak at about +0.30 V vs. SCE after CB modification onto PGEin the CVs of CB modified electrodes due to the amino group of thedye molecule adjacent to the anthraquinone group. These resultswere in parallel to the earlier reports [6]. It is clear that the redoxpeak currents increased with number of cyclic scans of CB indicat-ing increasing amount of dye molecule onto the PGE. There was noappreciable change in the redox peak currents of CB with increas-ing cyclic scan numbers because of diffusion limitations after 75scans of CB modification.

For the modification of the electrode with passive adsorptiontechnique PGE electrode was immersed in 2 mg/mL CB solution for24 h. The CVs of the unmodified electrode and CB modified elec-trode are given in Fig. 2B-i and ii, respectively. As illustrated inFig. 2B-i, there were no electroactive species in the CV of unmodi-fied electrode at the working experimental conditions. There was asmall oxidation peak at +0.66 V vs. SCE and a very small reductionpeak at +0.22 V vs. SCE after CB modification. In the second scanCV of CB modified electrode the redox (oxidation/reduction) peaksdue to the dye molecule did not exist. The electrode prepared withthis technique was unstable. So CV technique with 75 scans of CBmodification was chosen for further experiments in the study.

The effect of the concentration of dye (1, 2 and 3 mg/mL) wasexamined in the study. It was found that there was no observablechange obtained in the electrochemical response of the CB modifiedelectrode by using 3 mg/mL CB solution for modification compared

scan numbers. Thus 2 mg/mL CB concentration was chosen as opti-mum working concentration value for further studies.

EIS was also used to identify and differentiate the CB modifiedPGEs. EIS technique can provide information on the impedancechanges of the electrode surface during the modification process[25]. In the Nyquist plot of impedance spectra, the diameter ofthe semicircle represents the charge-transfer resistance (Rct) at theelectrode surface [26]. Fig. 4-i–iii shows the impedance spectra ofCB modified PGE with 25 scans of dye modification, CB modifiedPGE with 50 scans of dye modification and CB modified PGE with75 scans of dye modification, respectively. Rct value decreased withincreasing scan numbers of CB modification indicating improvedcharge-transfer occurred at the electrode surface [26]. The Nyquistplot of CB modified PGE prepared with 75 scans of modificationafter 2.5 mg/mL BSA interaction for 1 h was also performed (Fig. 4-iv). The Rct value increased compared to the value obtained in thecase of CB modified PGE with 75 scans of modification (Fig. 4-iii)due to BSA immobilization onto the electrode. Protein moleculeimproved the resistance to charge-transfer occurred at the elec-trode surface since it formed a more insulative layer.

For the application of this electrode, CB modified PGEs were usedfor the monitoring of CB–BSA interaction due to the fact that CB haswell-known affinity to serum albumin [16–19]. The affinity of CB

to bovine serum albumin is studied by using cyclic voltammetry.The CB modified PGEs were immersed in BSA solutions with differ-ent concentrations for 1 h. Then, the CVs of these electrodes were

t was observed that BSA did not exhibit observable peak at theB modified PGE. This result was in accordance with the reportedesults [27,28]. However, the redox peak currents of CB decreasedn the presence of BSA. It was proposed that CB and BSA formedn electroinactive complex [27,28]. In addition to these results BSAnteraction had no effect on the redox peak potentials of CB.

The decrease in peak currents enhanced with increasing concen-ration of BSA. The concentration of protein solutions was changedetween 0.25 mg/mL and 3.00 mg/mL. The chance (�I) in peakurrent due to the oxidation peak at +0.94 V was recorded and ainear relationship was obtained up to a 2.50 mg/mL concentrationalue of BSA (Fig. 6B). After this concentration value, there was noppreciable change in the peak current because of the fact that thelectrode had reached its saturation level at 2.50 mg/mL concentra-ion level of BSA (Fig. 6A). The decrease in peak currents was linearn the concentration range from 0.25 mg/mL to 2.50 mg/mL with aorrelation coefficient of 0.983. The detection limit was calculated

s 0.15 mg/mL [29]. This calculated value is comparable with theeported values based on dye–BSA interaction [27]. The represen-ative voltammogram obtained using the lowest concentration ofSA (0.25 mg/mL) is shown in Fig. S2.

The stability of the electrode was studied by storing at 4 ◦Cwhen not in use. The electrode retained 89% of its initial responseafter 1 week of storage. The reproducibility of the electrochemicalresponse of CB modified electrode after 0.25 mg/mL BSA interac-tion were illustrated by three continuous experimental cycles. Theresults showed that the electrode had a good reproducibility witha relative standard deviation of 2.68% (n = 3).

The interfering effect of tryptophan, glucose and IgG on the elec-trochemical response of this electrode system was examined to testthe selectivity of the electrode. The results indicated that trypto-phan, glucose and IgG had no interfering effect in the detectionof CB–protein interaction when 1:1 mixtures of BSA and interfer-ing species were used. The related cyclic voltammograms for theinterference study of IgG are shown in Fig. 7A. The selectivity ofCB modified electrode to BSA was examined in the presence ofthrombin. The results indicated that thrombin had no interferingeffect in the detection of CB–protein interaction when 1:1 mixtureof BSA and thrombin was used. The related cyclic voltammogramsare shown in Fig. S4.

The interaction of CB–BSA was also checked after 12 h of interac-tion if there was an additional signal in the case of long interactiontime. The CVs of CB modified PGE (Fig. 7B-i) and CB modified PGEafter 12 h of 2.5 mg/mL BSA interaction (Fig. 7B-ii) were compared.

As seen in the CV of CB modified PGE after BSA interaction theredox peaks of CB barely diminished with long interaction time.There was no observable peak at the CB modified PGE due to BSA

With0 min of CB–BSA interaction only small diminutions in oxidationeak currents of CB were obtained. However, with 3 h of interactionhe redox peaks of CB barely diminished as obtained with 12 h ofnteraction.

. Conclusions

In this study CB modification on PGEs was performed using CVnd passive adsorption techniques and the affinities of these newormed electrodes were examined to bovine serum albumin. Elec-rochemical CV technique provided simple, fast, well distributionf dye molecule onto the PGE compared to passive adsorption tech-

CV technique showed more stable and reproducible results. Themodified electrodes were then used for the adsorption of BSA.The adsorption of protein onto the surface of the electrode waspresented simple and fast process. It was also easy to monitorthe electrochemical changes after CB–protein interaction at theelectrode surface in a good selectivity and sensitivity. The effectsof different concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) andinterfering species such as tryptophan, glucose and immunoglob-ulin G (IgG) were examined. It was found that the decrease inCB oxidation peak current was linear in the concentration rangefrom 0.25 mg/mL to 2.50 mg/mL BSA with a correlation coefficientof 0.983 and the detection limit was calculated as 0.15 mg/mL.Hence, this procedure might be able to determine BSA, indirectly.The electrode showed good stability and reproducibility. Trypto-phan, glucose and IgG had no interfering effect for the detection ofCB–protein interaction in the study. This technology can be furtherused in protein–protein interactions.
