Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for up to 90% of all primary liver cancers worldwide. Cinobufagin is recognized to inhibit miR-494 as the HCC target. Increased expression of TNF-α results in an inadequate response to liver anticancer drugs. The models in this study were cinobufagin, cycloartenol, and ethyl acetate fractions of Ganoderma lucidum, 2–5. Seven docking targets in this study were Akt, ERK1, ERK2, PI3K, TNF-α, TNFR1, and TNFR2. Cycloartenol and compound 4 comply with Veber’s rules, Lipinski’s rule of 5, and demonstrate moderate toxicity. The action implies a potential docking target since it produces bond affinities with the compound 2–5 that agree with the IC50 in the literature, which is based on in vitro experiments. Akt as a receptor target is AZD5363. Cycloartenol shows a low ability to inhibit Akt. Conversely, compound 4 inhibits the Akt better than that of cycloartenol, although it is not as good as cinobufagin and AZD5363. Therefore, compound 4, a triterpenoid with a basic framework of lanostane has the potential to be an anticancer candidate for the liver.

Abstract:
Die moderne Tumormedizin hat das Ziel die deregulierte Wachstumskontrolle und die Überlebensstrategien maligner Tumoren zu überwinden. Mittels computerbasierter Methoden sollten hierzu in dieser Arbeit neue apoptoseinduzierende Substanzen gefunden und deren Wirksamkeit in späteren in vitro Experimenten überprüft werden. In drei Modellprojekten konnten neue Substanzen identifiziert werden, die Apoptose in Tumorzellen induzieren. Im ersten Projekt wurden Inhibitoren der an das COP9 Signalosom (CSN-) assoziierten Kinasen CK2 und PKD mittels der Leitstrukturen Curcumin und Emodin gefunden. Im zweiten Projekt wurde der Naturstoff Betulinsäure (betulinic acid, BA) bezüglich seines Wirkmechanismus untersucht. Die Ergebnisse haben gezeigt, dass die BA-induzierte Apoptose weitestgehend unabhängig von den pro- und anti-apoptotischen Proteinen der Bcl-2-Familie, aber in Abhängigkeit von aktiven Caspasen, ausgelöst wird. Durch ein in silico Screening und die Verwendung eines neuen Eigenschaftsfilters konnten neuen BA-Analoga identifiziert werden. Zur Bewertung der Ergebnisse des in silico Screenings wurden Daten des National Cancer Institutes (NCI) verwendet. Im dritten Projekt wurden mittels in silico Screening, Docking-Experimenten und in vitro Screenings zwei neue Bcl-2-Inhibitoren identifiziert, die derzeit in funktionellen Experimenten getestet werden. Durch den Einbau eines niedermolekularen, photoschaltbaren Moleküls an die Aminosäuren-Seitenketten des alpha-helikalen Peptides aus der BH3-Domäne von Bid konnte eine gezielte Aktivierung und damit auch eine gezielte Apoptoseinduktion in Tumorzellen ausgelöst werden. Die Methode des in silico Screenings hat gezeigt, dass die Zeit und Kosten für die Suche nach Wirkstoffen reduziert werden können. Die gefundenen Treffer können als neue Leitstrukturen für weitere in silico Screenings ihre Verwendung finden oder mit Hilfe von Optimierungsprozessen in weitere Stufen der Entwicklung eintreten.
Nowadays, cancer research is focused on the overcoming of survival strategies of malign tumors. In the present work, computer-based methods lead to the identification of novel apoptosis inducing molecules, whose potency should be validated in in vitro experiments. Novel compounds, which induce apoptosis in cancer cells, could be identified on the basis of three projects. Inhibitors for the COP9 signalosome (CSN) associated kinases CK2 and PKD could be discovered using curcumin and emodin as lead compounds. Investigations concerning the mechanism-of-action of betulinic acid (BA) should give information about the function of the Bcl-2 protein family in the BA induced cell death. The experiments, which are focused on the mitochondrial signalling pathway, revealed that BA induces apoptosis in an almost independent manner with regards to the pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, but dependent on the presence of activated caspases. Via an in silico screening and the utilisation of a new property filter, novel BA analogues could be identified. For the first time, the data of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is employed to evaluate results from the in silico screening. In the third project two novel Bcl-2 inhibitors have been identified via in silico screenings, docking experiments and in vitro screenings, which are performed at the moment. The insertion of a photo-switchable compound to the amino acid side chain of an alpha-helical peptide from the pro-apoptotic protein Bid triggered the effect of a modulator, which results in a controllable activation and initiation of apoptosis in tumor cells. In silico screenings as a reliable method corroborated that a systematical evaluation of the virtual hits could decrease the time and costs of experimental testings. The identified hits could serve as novel lead compounds for further in silico screenings or enter the next steps in the development of novel drugs using optimisation methods.

Abstract:
A potential path to the development of small-molecule inhibitors is to identify small-molecules that mimic the interactions of short peptides with proteins. The present study uses Perl scripts and a MySQL database to build a unique dataset of 258 protein-peptide interactions (ProPep) from structures contained in the Protein Data Bank. The physiochemical and structural nature of protein-peptide interfaces were analysed in part using a novel amino acid pictogram analysis alongside accessible surface area, residue pairing and amino acid composition analysis. The results indicate that, for the peptide, proline residues and tyrosine residues play specific roles in protein-peptide interfaces. Furthermore it was observed that the peptide residues are significantly more buried than the residues of the cognate protein surface. The virtual screening program LIDAEUS was used to mine chemical databases to identify novel peptidomimetic compounds that have evincible binding to protein targets of therapeutic interest. Target-based and fragment-based virtual screening identified a series of potential compounds targeting the interaction between p21 and PCNA. Whilst the docking results were promising, results from testing in biological assays were inconclusive. A target-based virtual screening approach to identify small-molecule mimics of the interaction between the GnRH peptide and GnRH receptor yielded two promising compounds that demonstrated weak binding in biological assays. A third study to identify small-molecules binding to the SH3 domain of PSD-95 produced some promising hit compounds that as yet have not been tested in binding assays.

Abstract:
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Development of new cancer drugs is increasingly costly and time-consuming. By exploiting massive amounts of biological data, computational repositioning proposes new uses for old drugs to reduce these development hurdles. A promising approach is the systematic analysis of structural data for identification of shared binding pockets and modes of action. In this thesis, I developed the Protein-Ligand Interaction Profiler (PLIP), which characterizes and indexes protein-ligand interactions to enable comparative analyses and searching in all available structures. Following, I applied PLIP to identify new treatment options in cancer: the heat shock protein Hsp27 confers resistance to drugs in cancer cells and is therefore an attractive target with a postulated drug binding site. Starting from Hsp27, I used PLIP to define an interaction profile to screen all structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The top prediction was experimentally validated in vitro. It inhibits Hsp27 and significantly reduces resistance of multiple myeloma cells against the chemotherapeutic agent bortezomib. Besides computational repositioning, PLIP is used in docking, binding mode analysis, quantification of interactions and many other applications as evidenced by over 12,000 users so far. PLIP is provided to the community online and as open source.

Abstract:
Anthropogenic activities have drastically altered chemical exposure, with traces of synthetic chemicals detected ubiquitously in the environment. Many of these chemicals are thought to perturb endocrine function, leading to declines in reproductive health and fertility, and increases in the incidence of cancer, metabolic disorders and diabetes. There are over 90 million unique chemicals registered under the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), of which only 308,000 were subject to inventory and/or regulation, in September 2013. However, as a specific aim of the EU REACH regulations, the UK is obliged to reduce the chemical safety initiatives reliance on in vivo apical endpoints, promoting the development and validation of alternative mechanistic methods. The human health cost of endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) exposure in the EU, has been estimated at €31 billion per annum. In light of the EU incentives, this study aims to evaluate current in silico and in vitro tools for EDC screening and hazard characterisation; testing the hypothesis that in silico virtual screening accurately predicts in vitro mechanistic assays. Nuclear receptor binding interactions are the current focus of in silico and in vitro tools to predict EDC mechanisms. To the author’s knowledge, no single study has quantitatively assessed the relationship between in silico nuclear receptor binding and in vitro mechanistic assays, in a comprehensive manner. Tripos ® SYBYL software was used to develop 3D-molecular models of nuclear receptor binding domains. The ligand binding pockets of estrogen (ERα and ERβ), androgen (AR), progesterone (PR) and peroxisome proliferator activated (PPARγ) receptors were successfully modelled from X-ray crystal structures. A database of putative-EDC ligands (n= 378), were computationally ‘docked’ to the pseudo-molecular targets, as a virtual screen for nuclear receptor activity. Relative to in vitro assays, the in silico screen demonstrated a sensitivity of 94.5%. The SYBYL Surflex-Dock method surpassed the OECD Toolbox ER-Profiler, DfW and binary classification models, in correctly identifying endocrine active substances (EAS). Aiming to evaluate the current in vitro tools for endocrine MoA, standardised ERα transactivation (HeLa9903), stably transfected AR transactivation (HeLa4-11) assays in addition to novel transiently transfected reporter gene assays, predicted the mechanism and potency of test substances prioritised from the in silico results (n = 10 potential-EDCs and 10 hormone controls). In conclusion, in silico SYBYL molecular modelling and Surflex-Dock virtual screening sensitively predicted the binding of ERα/β, AR, PR and PPARγ potential EDCs, and was identified as a potentially useful regulatory tool, to support EAS hazard identification.

Abstract:
Les processus qui mènent à la découverte de nouveaux médicaments sont longs et fastidieux, et les taux de succès sont relativement faibles. L’identification de candidats par le biais de tests expérimentaux s’avère coûteuse, et nécessite de connaître en profondeur les mécanismes d'action de la protéine visée afin de mettre en place des essais efficaces. Le criblage virtuel peut considérablement accélérer ces processus en permettant une évaluation rapide de chimiothèques de plusieurs milliers de molécules afin de déterminer lesquelles sont les plus susceptibles de se lier à une cible. Ces dernières années ont ainsi été témoins de quelques success stories dans ce domaine.Le premier objectif de ce travail était de comparer différents outils et stratégies couramment utilisés dans le criblage virtuel “structure-based”, puis de les appliquer à des cibles protéiques à visée thérapeutique, en particulier dans le cadre du cancer.La protéine kinase GSK3 et un test set de ligands connus ont servi de modèle pour différentes études méthodologiques ayant pour but d’évaluer les programmes de docking et de scoring à notre disposition. En particulier, l’utilisation de plusieurs structures relaxées du récepteur ou l’insertion de torsions sur certains résidus du site actif pendant le docking ont permis d’évaluer l’influence de la flexibilité de la protéine. L’utilité et la pertinence d’outils permettant de générer automatiquement les structures 3D des ligands et de méthodes de consensus scoring ont également été étudiées.Un criblage virtuel de la Pontine, une ATPase impliquée dans la croissance tumorale pour laquelle aucun inhibiteur n’était connu, a permis la sélection de candidats issus de banques de données commerciales. Ces molécules ont été testées dans un essai enzymatique par le biais d’une collaboration, et quatre d’entre elles se sont révélées capable d’inhiber l’activité ATPase de la Pontine. Le criblage de bases de ligands synthétisés et imaginés dans l’équipe a également fourni un inhibiteur original. Au contraire, l’étude de la sPLA2-X humaine, une phospholipase dont l’activité catalytique est dépendante d’un atome de Ca2+ localisé au sein du site actif, a montré les limites de nos outils de docking qui n’ont pas été capables de gérer cet ion métallique et mis en évidence la nécessité de mettre en place d’autres outils
The process of drug discovery is long and tedious. Besides, it is relatively inefficient in terms of hit rate. The identification of candidates through experimental testing is expensive and requires extensive data on the mechanisms of the target protein in order to develop efficient assays. Virtual screening can considerably accelerate the process by quickly evaluating large databases of compounds and determining the most likely to bind to a target. Some success stories have emerged in the field over the last few years.The objectives of this work were first, to compare common tools and strategies for structure-based virtual screening, and second, to apply those tools to actual target proteins implied notably in carcinogenesis.In order to evaluate the docking and scoring programs available, the protein kinase GSK3 and a test set of known ligands were used as a model to perform methodological studies. In particular the influence of the flexibility of the protein was explored via relaxed structures of the receptor or the insertion of torsions on the side chains of residues located in the binding site. Studies concerning the automatic generation of 3D structures for the ligands and the use of consensus scoring also provided insights on the usability of these tools while performing a virtual screening.Virtual screening of the human protein Pontin, an ATPase implied in tumor cell growth for which no inhibitors were known, allowed the prioritization of compounds from commercial databases. These compounds were tested in an enzymatic assay via a collaboration, and led to the identification of four molecules capable of inhibiting the ATPase activity of Pontin. Additional screens of in-house oriented databases also provided at least one innovative inhibitor for this protein. On the contrary, a study of the human PLA2-X, a phospholipase that requires a Ca2+ atom to bind to its active site in order to catalyze the hydrolysis of its substrate, revealed the limits of our docking tools that could not handle the metal ion and the need for new tools

Les protéines kinases représentent le groupe d'enzymes qui servent d'intermédiaire pour la phosphorylation de protéines - le transfert d'un groupe phosphate de l'adénosine triphosphate(ATP) sur des chaînes latérales correspondantes de tyrosine, de serine ou de thréonine des acides aminées. La phosphorylation de protéines est un des outils les plus importants pour la régulation de l'activité cellulaire. La « signalisation » cellulaire par le récepteur de tyrosine kinase VEGFR2 (KDR) appartient aux réactions biochimiques clés influençant la croissance de tumeurs. L'inhibition thérapeutique de cette réaction à l'aide des composés de faible poids moléculaire spécifiques est devenue une stratégie utile dans le cadre des thérapies anticancéreuses. Ce travail a amené à la découverte de 16 substances biologiquement actives sur la base N,5-diaryloxazol-2-amine (IC50, VEGFR2 TK). D'excellents résultats ont été atteints notamment dans le cas des substances 189, 191, 211, 214, 220, 221, 223 et 4 qui montrent une activité inhibitrice inférieure à 500 nM
Protein kinases represent a group of enzymes responsible for phosphorylation - transfer of aphosphate group from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to tyrosine or serine/threonine residues. Protein phosphorylation is one of the most important tools regulating a cell activity. A cell "signalization" through an endothelial receptor tyrosine kinase VEGFR2 TK (KDR) is the important pathway influencing growth of a tumor. Small-molecule inhibitors of VEGFR2 TK (VEGFR2 TKls) have become an important tool for the treatment of various types of cancer.

Abstract:
Les protéines Ras jouent un rôle majeur dans le développement cellulaire. Faisant partie de la catégorie de petites GTPases, elles sont dotées d'un mécanisme fonctionnant tel un interrupteur moléculaire qui, dans leur cas, contrôle la transmission de signaux de croissance cellulaire. Liées au GTP, ces protéines adoptent une conformation leur permettant d'interagir avec des effecteurs en aval et, ainsi, activer la réplication et différenciation cellulaires. La réaction d'hydrolyse du GTP qui se déroule en leur centre, est accompagnée d'un changement conformationnel qui met fin à ces interactions, conduisant ainsi à l'état inactif de Ras, lié au GDP. Des mutations spécifiques de résidus bien déterminés entraînent une baisse du taux d'hydrolyse, laissant ainsi Ras liée au GTP. Or, de fortes concentrations de cette forme active de Ras ont été associées à une prolifération cellulaire anormale, caractéristique de la dissémination de tissus cancéreux. Il apparaît alors que l'élucidation des mécanismes employés par Ras pour accélérer le clivage du GTP constitue une étape majeure dans le développement de thérapies ciblées contre le cancer. Elles consisteraient à rétablir, au sein des mutants oncogéniques, un taux d'hydrolyse proche à celui mesuré au sein du type sauvage. Dans le but de mieux comprendre au niveau atomique les propriétés catalytiques de Ras, nous avons mené des simulations de dynamique moléculaire (MD) en décrivant le domaine G à différents niveaux de théorie (Mécanique Moléculaire (MM), Semi-empirique et Théorie de la Fonctionnelle de la Densité (DFT)). Ces calculs ont été réalisés pour les formes sauvage et mutées au niveau du résidu 61 de NRas. Ils ont été couplées à des caractérisations biomécaniques des complexes protéine-ligand étudiés, en utilisant la méthode des modes statiques. Cette méthode permet d'identifier des points chauds, réactifs, de la biomolécule et qui, suivant le critère de contrainte choisi, ont une influence mécanique sur la fonction GTPase de la protéine. Par conséquent, ils pourraient servir en temps que sites appropriés pour héberger des molécules médicamenteuses contenant des groupes chimiques spécifiques qui faciliteraient l'hydrolyse du GTP. Tout d'abord, les résultats obtenus montrent que le positionnement des molécules d'eau dans le cite actif est crucial pour catalyser efficacement la réaction. En effet, la répartition précise du solvant, observée dans le type sauvage, est perdue au sein des mutants de NRas considérés ici. Cette distribution différente des molécules d'eau ainsi que les modifications structurales du site actif engendrées par les substitutions du résidu Gln 61, ont un impact direct sur la densité électronique du GTP. Cette dernière présente un profil de type GDP au sein de la protéine de type sauvage uniquement, comme déterminé expérimentalement dans des études précédentes. Il apparaît donc que les mutations oncogéniques de Gln 61 perturbent cet effet catalytique majeur de NRas. Parmi trois propositions faites au cours de cette thèse sur des modifications à apporter à la forme mutée Q61R de NRas, une est présentée pendant la soutenance tandis que toutes les trois sont décrites dans le manuscript. Les groupes chimiques insérés au niveau du site identifié permettent de rétablir une distribution de l'eau comme celle observée dans le type sauvage. Pour terminer, lors de la soutenance uniquement, un chemin réactionnel alternatif de l'hydrolyse enzymatique du GTP est proposé
Ras subfamily of small GTPase proteins holds a key position in cell proliferation pathways. Indeed, the transmission of cell growth signals is controlled by proteins belonging to it. In their GTP-bound conformation, these proteins interact and activate downstream effectors of cell replication and differentiation. The hydrolysis reaction that takes place in their center, terminates these interactions, thereby leading to the GDP-bound inactive state. Point mutations of key residues lead to a hydrolysis rate drop that keeps Ras in a GTP-bound active state. Now, high concentrations of active Ras have been associated to abnormal cell proliferation, emblematic of cancerous tissues dissemination. With this into consideration, the elucidation of Ras mechanisms for accelerating GTP cleavage appears as a major step in the development of cancer targeted therapies that would consist in restoring the hydrolysing capabilities within oncogenic Ras to a wild-type rate. In an attempt to gain insight into Ras catalysing properties at the atomic level, unconstrained Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations describing the G domain at different levels of theory (Molecular Mechanics (MM), Semi-empirical and Density Functional Theory (DFT)) were carried out for NRas member in its wild-type and Gln 61 mutated forms. These simulations were coupled to biomechanic characterisations of the complexes under inspection employing the static modes approach. The latter method, allows the identification of hot spots {\it i.e.} responsive residues of the biomolecule, that have a mechanical influence on the GTPase function of the protein. Hence, they could serve as suitable sites to host drug-like molecules containing specific chemical groups that would facilitate GTP hydrolysis. The obtained results show that water molecules positioning is crucial for efficiently catalysing the reaction that takes place in NRas center. Indeed, the precise positioning observed within the wild-type is lost within the mutants studied here. Furthermore, the active site structural modifications undergone upon Gln 61 substitutions, together with solvent distribution in it, impact directly GTP electronic density. The latter is accommodated to a GDP-like state within the wild-type protein only, as experimentally determined in previous investigations. Thus, oncogenic Gln 61 mutations impair this major catalysing effect. Among three engineered NRas proteins of the Q61R mutated form, proposed during this thesis, one is presented during the defence while the three are described in the manuscript. The chemical groups inserted at the identified site enable the recovery of water distribution as within the wild-type. To end, during the defence only, an alternative reaction pathway of the enzymatic reaction is proposed

El cribratge virtual és un mètode quimioinformàtic que consisteix en cribrar molècules bioactives de grans bases de dades de molècules petites. Això permet als investigadors d’estalviar-se el cost de provar experimentalment cents o milers de compostos candidats, reduïnt-ne el nombre fins a quantitats manejables. Per a la validació dels mètodes de cribratge virtual calen biblioteques de molècules cimbell. El programari DecoyFinder fou desenvolupat com a aplicació gràfica de fàcil ús per a la construcció de biblioteques de molècules cimbell, i fou posteriorment ampliat amb les troballes de recerca posterior sobre la construcció i rendiment de biblioteques de molècules cimbell. El Protein Data Bank (PDB) és molt útil perquè proporciona estructures tridimensionals per a complexos proteïna-lligand, i per tant, informació sobre com interactuen. Pels mètodes de cribratge virtual que en depenen, n’és extremadament important la seva fiabilitat. El VHELIBS fou desenvolupat com a eina per a inspeccionar i identificar, fàcilment i intuitiva, les estructures fiables del PDB, basant-se en com de bo n’és l’encaix amb els seus corresponents mapes de densitat electrònica. Mentre que el cribratge virtual prova de trobar noves molècules bioactives per determinades dianes, l’enfoc invers també s’empra: arran d’una molècula, cercar-ne dianes amb activitat biològica no documentada. Aquest cribratge invers és conegut en anglès com a “in silico target fishing”, o pesca de dianes “in silico”, i és especialment útil a l’àmbit de la reutilització de fàrmacs En començar aquesta tesi, no hi havia cap plataforma de “target fishing” de lliure accés, i tot i que durant els anys se n’han desenvolupat algunes, en tots els casos la seva predicció de bioactivitat és qualitativa. Per això es desenvolupà una plataforma pròpia de “target fishing” de lliure accés, amb la implementació d’un nou mètode que proporciona la primera predicció quantitativa de bioactivitat per aquest tipus de plataforma.

Para los métodos de cribado virtual que dependen de ellas, es extremadamente importante su fiabilidad. VHELIBS fue desarrollado como herramienta para inspeccionar e identificar, fácil e intuitivamente, las estructuras fiables del PDB, basándose en como de bueno es su encaje con sus correspondientes mapas de densidad electrónica. Mientras que el cribado virtual intenta encontrar nuevas moléculas bioactivas para determinadas dianas, el enfoque inverso también se utiliza: a partir de una molécula, buscar dianas donde presente actividad biológica no documentada. Este cribado inverso es conocido en inglés como “in silico target fishing”, o pesca de dianas “in silico”, y es especialmente útil en el ámbito de la reutilización de fármacos. Al comenzar esta tesis, no había ninguna plataforma de “target fishing” de libre acceso, y aunque durante los años se han desarrollado algunas, en todos los casos su predicción de bioactividad es cualitativa. Por eso se desarrolló una plataforma propia de “target fishing” de libre acceso, con la implementación de un nuevo método que proporciona la primera predicción cuantitativa de bioactividad para este tipo de plataforma.
Virtual screening is a cheminformatics method that consists of screening large small-molecule databases for bioactive molecules. This enables the researcher to avoid the cost of experimentally testing hundreds or thousands of compounds by reducing the number of candidate molecules to be tested to manageable numbers. For their validation, virtual screening approaches need decoy molecule libraries. DecoyFinder was developed as an easy to use graphical application for decoy library building, and later updated after some research into decoy library building and their performance when used for 2D similarity approaches. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is very useful because it provides 3D structures for protein-ligand complexes and, therefore, information on how certain ligands bind and interact with their targets. For virtual screening apporaches relying on these structures, it is of the utmost importance that the data available on the PDB for the ligand and its binding site are reliable. VHELIBS was developed as a tool to easily and intuitively inspect and identify reliable PDB structures based on the goodness of fitting between ligands and binding sites and their corresponding electron density map. While virtual screening aims to find new bioactive molecules for certain targets, the opposite approach is also used: starting from a given molecule, to search for a biological target for which it presents previously undocumented bioactivity. This reverse screening is known as in silico or computational target fishing or reverse pharmacognosy, and it is specially useful for drug repurposing or repositioning. When this thesis was started, there were no freely available target fishing platforms, but some have been developed during the years. However, they are qualitative in the nature of their activity prediction, and thus we set out to develop a freely accessible target fishing web service implementing a novel method which provides the first quantitative activity prediction: Anglerfish.

Abstract:
This article discusses the modulation design of plasmonics for diagnosis and drug screening applications. It begins with an overview of the advances made in terms of theoretical insights, focusing on the origins of surface plasmon wave and manipulation, admittance loci design method, and surface plasmon grating coupled emission. It then considers how prism coupler, Ge-doped silica waveguide, nanograting and active plasmonics can trigger the excitation of surface plasmon resonance (SPR). It also examines the metallic effect of long-range surface plasmon resonance and conducting metal oxide as adhesive layer before describing three SPR waveguide biosensors that were developed for the realization of a hand-held SPR system. In particular, it presents a lateral-flow microfluidic channel based on a nitrocellulose membrane and integrated with a SPR waveguide biosensor to achieve dynamic detection. Finally, the article evaluates the biomolecular layer effect, with emphasis on kinetics analysis of antibody binding.
