Abstract

In a biosensor-based assay, the molecule to be detected (analyte) is present in solution and the appropriate receptor is immobilized on a solid surface. The interaction between the analyte and the receptor on the solid biosensor surface is detected either by a change in the refractive index (in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instruments) or by changes in the fluorometric intensity, ultraviolet light intensity, etc. The SPR biosensor protocol analyzes the binding (and dissociation where applicable) kinetic curves using classical saturation models involving analyte-receptor binding using 1:1, 1:2, etc. ratios, generally under diffusion-free conditions and assuming that the receptors are homogeneously distributed over the sensor surface. Though a careful analysis and experimental protocol may eliminate or minimize the influence of diffusional limitations; realistically speaking, it is more appropriate to include a heterogeneous distribution on the sensing surface. Heterogeneity on the sensing surface and in the biosensor systems itself may be due to other reasons, such as nonspecific binding, inherent irregularities on the sensing surface, mixture of receptors on the surface, and mixture of analytes in solution which includes the analyte of interest.

2.1. Introduction

In a biosensor-based assay, the molecule to be detected (analyte) is present in solution and the appropriate receptor is immobilized on a solid surface. The interaction between the analyte and the receptor on the solid biosensor surface is detected either by a change in the refractive index (in surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instruments) or by changes in the fluorometric intensity, ultraviolet light intensity, etc. The SPR biosensor protocol analyzes the binding (and dissociation where applicable) kinetic curves using classical saturation models involving analyte–receptor binding using 1:1, 1:2, etc. ratios, generally under diffusion-free conditions and assuming that the receptors are homogeneously distributed over the sensor surface. Computer programs and software that come with the equipment provide values of the binding (and the dissociation) rate coefficients. Though a careful analysis and experimental protocol may eliminate or minimize the influence of diffusional limitations; realistically speaking, it is more appropriate to include a heterogeneous distribution on the sensing surface. Heterogeneity on the sensing surface and in the biosensor systems itself may be due to other reasons, such as nonspecific binding, inherent irregularities on the sensing surface, mixture of receptors on the surface, and mixture of analytes in solution which includes the analyte of interest.

Two factors need to be addressed while analyzing the analyte–receptor binding and dissociation kinetics. The system by its design is heterogeneous. For example, as indicated above, the receptors immobilized on the biosensor surface may exhibit some heterogeneity, that is, surface roughness. No matter how careful one is in immobilizing the receptors on the biosensor surface, there will be some degree of heterogeneity on the surface.

Henke et al. (2002) have used the atomic force microscopy technique to determine the effects of cleaning fused silica and glass on surface roughness. This is for biosensor use. Note that prior to the immobilization of receptors on the surface, the surface needs to be cleaned to remove contaminants, and to create surface attachment sites for example, for hydroxyl groups. For the analyte–receptor binding (and dissociation) to take place the analyte, by the diffusion process, must come within the “proximity” of the active site on the receptor. Mass transport limitations may be minimized or eliminated if the system is either properly designed or properly operated or both. In most cases, however, both diffusional effects and heterogeneity aspects will be present in biosensor systems, and their influence on binding and dissociation kinetics need to be determined. Ideally, one would like to determine the influence of each of these separately on the binding and dissociation kinetics. In the theoretical analysis to be presented below, (the Havlin, 1989; analysis) the effects of diffusion and heterogeneity are presented coupled together. One possible way of accounting for the presence of diffusional limitations and the heterogeneity that exists on the surface is by using fractals. Ideally, and as indicated above, one would prefer to decouple the influence of diffusion and heterogeneity. Presumably, an approach other than fractal analysis is required to decouple these two effects.

A characteristic feature of fractals is self-similarity at different levels of the scale. Fractals exhibit dilatational symmetry. Fractals are disordered systems, and the disorder is described by nonintegral dimensions (Pfeifer and Obert, 1989). Fractals have nonintegral dimensions, and are smaller than the dimension they are embedded in. In other words, the highest value that a fractal can have is three. In our case, an increase in the degree of heterogeneity on the biosensor surface would lead to an increase in the value of the fractal dimension. Another way of looking at the fractal dimension is its “space filling” capacity. The more the space a surface fills, the higher is its fractal dimension. The fractal dimension cannot have a negative value, and very low values of the fractal dimension on the surface indicate that the surface exists as a Cantor-like dust.

Kopelman (1988) points out that surface-diffusion-controlled reactions that occur on clusters or islands are expected to exhibit anomalous and fractal-like kinetics. These kinetics exhibit anomalous reaction orders and time-dependent (e.g., binding) rate coefficients. As long as surface irregularities show scale invariance they can be characterized by a single number, the fractal dimension. Later on in this book we will characterize the surfaces of the biosensors used in different examples by a fractal dimension. More specifically, we will characterize the heterogeneity present on these biosensor surfaces by a fractal dimension.

The fractal dimension is a global property, and it is insensitive to structural or morphological details (Pajkossy and Nyikos, 1989). Markel et al. (1991) point out that fractals are scale self-similar mathematical objects that possess nontrivial geometrical properties. Furthermore, these authors state that rough surfaces, disordered layers on surfaces, and porous objects all possess fractal structure. A consequence of the fractal nature is a power-law dependence of a correlation function (in our case the analyte–receptor on the biosensor surface) on a coordinate (e.g., time).

Pfeifer (1987) shows that fractals may be used to track topographical features of a surface at different levels of scale. Lee and Lee (1995) point out that the fractal approach permits a predictive approach for transport (diffusion-related) and reaction processes occurring on catalytic surfaces. This approach may presumably be extended to diffusion-limited analyte–receptor reactions occurring on biosensor surfaces.

The binding of an analyte in solution to a receptor attached to a solid (albeit flow cell or biosensor surface) is a good example of a low dimension reaction system in which the distribution tends to be “less random” (Kopelman, 1988), and a fractal analysis would provide novel physical insights into the diffusion-controlled reactions occurring at the surface. Also, when too many parameters are involved in a reaction, which is the case for these analyte–receptor reactions on a solid (e.g., biosensor surface), a fractal analysis provides a useful lumped parameter. It is appropriate to pay particular care to the design of such systems and to explore new avenues by which further insight or knowledge may be obtained on these biosensor systems. The fractal approach is not new and has been used previously in analyzing different phenomena on lipid membranes.

Fatin-Rouge et al. (2004) have recently presented a summary of cases where the analysis of diffusion properties in random media has provoked significant theoretical and experimental interest. These cases include soils (Sahimi, 1993), gels (Starchev et al., 1997; Pluen et al., 1999), bacterial cytoplasm (Berland et al., 1995; Schwille et al., 1999), membranes (Saffman and Delbruck, 1975; Peters and Cherry, 1982; Ghosh and Webb, 1988), and channels (Wei et al., 2000). Coppens and Froment (1995) have analyzed the geometrical aspects of diffusion and the reaction occurring in a fractal catalyst pore. In this chapter, and in this book as a whole, we are extending the analysis to analyte–receptor binding (and dissociation) on biosensor surfaces. Fatin-Rouge et al. (2004) show that in most real systems disorder may exist over a finite range of distances. Harder et al. (1987) and Havlin (1989) point out that in this range the diffusion process cannot be characterized by the classical Fick's law. In this range, anomalous diffusion applies. Fatin-Rouge et al. (2004) emphasize that at larger distances than in the above window range, the effects of disorder on diffusion may be very small due to statistical effects, and may cancel each...
