The binding ability of immobilized biotinylated cyclic hexapeptide [cyclo(-Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Lys-Gly-)] containing RGD to integrin ααbβ3 was tested by the methods of ELISA and SPR. Results showed that a spacer of 1.48-2.2 nm between the peptide and the biotin residue was long enough to send the RGD sequence into the binding center embedded within αⅡbβ3, and the equilibrium dissociation constant was 1.1μm.
