Fig. 2. In vitro binding assays to assess the binding affinity and specificity of the COL3 probes.

Fig. 2

a The Eu-DOTAMA-CBP1 probe binds to COL3 with good affinity and specificity. b The FO of the Eu-DOTAMA-CBP1 in the presence of COL3 is 74%. c Competition assay between monomeric Eu-DOTAMA-CBP1 and tetrameric [Gd-DOTAMA]4-CBP1 shows that the tetramer can displace the monomer from COL3 binding sites. d The Eu-DOTAMA-CBP2 probe binds to COL3 but with a significant non-specific contribution. e The FO of the Eu-DOTAMA-CBP2 in the presence of COL3 is 76% but binding is unspecific. f Competition assay between monomeric Eu-DOTAMA-CBP2 and tetrameric [Gd-DOTAMA]4-CBP2 shows a small difference between the displacement curves of [Gd-DOTAMA]4-CBP2 and its scrambled counterpart, suggesting that the binding is largely unspecific. CBP collagen binding peptide, SccCBP scrambled version of the collagen binding peptide, Eu europium, Gd gadolinium, FO fractional occupancy.
