In modern biochemistry, protein stability and ligand interactions are of high interest. These properties are often studied with methods requiring labeled biomolecules, as the existing methods utilizing luminescent external probes suffer from low sensitivity. Currently available label-free technologies, e.g., thermal shift assays, circular dichroism, and differential scanning calorimetry, enable studies on protein unfolding and protein-ligand interactions (PLI). Unfortunately, the required micromolar protein concentration increases the costs and predisposes these methods for spontaneous protein aggregation. Here, we report a time-resolved luminescence method for protein unfolding and PLI detection with nanomolar sensitivity. The Protein-Probe method is based on highly luminescent europium chelate-conjugated probe, which is the key component in sensing the hydrophobic regions exposed to solution after protein unfolding. With the same Eu-probe, we also demonstrate ligand-interaction induced thermal stabilization with model proteins. The developed Protein-Probe method provides a sensitive approach overcoming the problems of the current label-free methodologies.
