pubmed-article:18928314pubmed:abstractTextSecond-harmonic generation (SHG) is highly sensitive to the net, average orientation of SH-active molecules on surfaces and has recently emerged as a technique for detecting biomolecules and their conformational changes. As most biomolecules are not intrinsically SH-active, they must be labeled with probes to render them detectable. To date, exogenous probes have been used to do this, but second-harmonic-active unnatural amino acids offer important advantages for the long-range goal of precisely and directly determining structural changes in real time and may be used for both buried and surface sites. Results of the first known SH-active unnatural amino acid, Aladan, are presented here. Aladan is found to be SH-active by detecting it at an interface, both alone and incorporated into the B1 domain of protein G (GB1), a globular immunoglobulin-binding protein, at both buried and exposed sites. The tilt angle of Aladan alone adsorbed on a mica surface is determined by polarization experiments, and its nonlinear polarizability alpha((2)) is found to be ca. 10(-30) esu. Aladan GB1 mutants are detectable by SHG, either when coupled covalently to a derivatized glass surface or bound to IgG immobilized via protein A. Addition of an Fc domain to this GB1 complex causes a small but defined change in the SH signal when Aladan is incorporated at site Ala(24), but not at Leu(7), consistent with a local conformational change of GB1. This structural change is not apparent in either X-ray crystallography or fluorescence studies, demonstrating that SHG can detect subtle orientational changes, including protein-protein interactions in which no significant rearrangements occur.lld:pubmed
