Patent attributes
This invention provides a method for immobilizing proteins comprising: step 1 of purifying target proteins to be immobilized, which have a first tag portion and a second tag portion, with the use of the first tag portion; step 2 of activating reactive groups capable of covalently binding to the proteins on a carrier for immobilization; and step 3 of allowing a solution containing the proteins purified in step 1 to react with the carrier after step 2, wherein, in step 3, the proteins are immobilized on the carrier via interactions between the second tag portion and the site of the carrier to which the second tag portion binds and via covalent binding between the reactive groups and the proteins. This method enables the stable immobilization of various types of target proteins on a carrier regardless of the amounts of target proteins and without nonspecific immobilization of contaminating proteins.
