NTA sensor chips can be successfully used for immobilization of molecules carrying more then two his-tags, as shown by Nieba et al. [1], e.g. with oligomeric proteins. Sometimes immobilization can even succeed with two his-tags per molecule [1].

Affinity of singly his-tagged proteins to the NiNTA complex is insufficient to immobilize such proteins.

Also, Nieba et al.[1] studied several parameters affecting level of ligand immobilization:

  • conditions for NTA surface activation with Ni2+: [NiCl2], [NaCl] and pH of activation buffer
  • effects of pH, [NaCl] and detergent (tween) concentration in the ligand immobilization buffer
  • effect of Na2EDTA (0-300 mM) in the running and ligand buffers
  • concentration of his-tagged ligand and number of his-tags per ligand molecule

Also surface regeneration conditions were optimized.
