We investigated sensor chip surfaces that differ in the geometry of the immobilization matrix: two contain a three-dimensional coupling matrix and two have a surface with immobilization sites on a two-dimensional plane. Properties of sensor chips were compared by studying the interaction of calmodulin with a peptide representing the calmodulin-binding site of nitric oxide synthase I. Apparent K(D) values were determined by three different procedures in order to apply tests for self-consistency. At low surface densities (5-8 fmol/mm(2)) on three of the four tested surfaces, estimated K(D) values were within one order of magnitude and similar to the value found in solution (K(D) = 1-3 nM). When immobilization densities were increased by one to two orders of magnitude, apparent association rate constants were less distorted on a flat carboxymethylated surface than on dextran-coated sensor chips.
