| Description: | Surface plasmon resonance data was collected on a Biacore T200 or 3000 system (GE Healthcare) at 25° C. Streptavidin was immobilized on a CM5 (GE Healthcare) or CMD500d sensor chip (XanTec Bioanalytics) using standard amine-coupling chemistry at 25° C. with HBS-N (10 mM HEPES, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.4) as the running buffer. Briefly, the carboxymethyl dextran surface was activated with a 12 min injection of a 1:1 ratio of 0.4 M 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/0.1 M N-hydroxy succinimide (NHS) at a flow rate of 10 μL/min. For capture of streptavidin, protein was diluted to 0.2 mg/mL in 10 mM sodium acetate (pH 4.5) and captured by injecting 100 μL onto the activated chip surface. Residual activated groups were blocked with a 7 min injection of 1 M ethanolamine (pH 8.5). Avi-tagged PCSK9 protein was captured on the streptavidin surface by injection of 150 μL of protein diluted to 16 pg/mL in FIBS-N, 0.05% tween-20, 0.1 mM CaCl2. Typical surface densities obtained were 8000-10000 RU. SPR binding data were obtained using an appropriate dilution series of each compound at a flow rate of 30 μL/min, with a capture time of 100 s and dissociation times of 300 s. Running buffer for compound binding studies was FIBS-N, 0.05% tween-20, 0.1 mM CaCl2), 4% DMSO. Data were corrected for DMSO excluded volume effects. All data were double-referenced for blank injections and reference surface using standard processing procedures and data processing and kinetic fitting were performed using Scrubber software, version 2.0c (BioLogic Software). |
