spr-bli-binding-characterization

spr-bli-binding-characterization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zongtingwei/Bioclaw_Skills_Hub. It costs 63 tokens per session (2,436 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of binding-characterization, MIT.

A guide to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and biolayer interferometry (BLI), two laboratory methods for measuring how strongly and how quickly molecules bind. It covers experiment planning, data interpretation, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan binding-kinetics experiments, select SPR or BLI for a sample, and investigate measurement artifacts.
Why use it?
It helps choose between the two methods and identify causes of weak signals, missing binding, or misleading binding rates.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spr-bli-binding-characterization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Binding Characterization With SPR And BLI

Plain-language role: Use this skill when you need to plan or troubleshoot experimental binding measurements after design.

SPR vs BLI Decision Matrix

Factor Choose SPR Choose BLI
Sensitivity Small molecules, fragments (<500 Da) Large complexes, antibodies
Throughput Low-medium (serial) High (96-well parallel)
Sample purity Required (clogs fluidics) Tolerates crude lysates
Kinetic resolution Higher (better for fast kinetics) Lower
Mass transport More sensitive (may distort kon) Less sensitive
Maintenance High (fluidics system) Low (dip-and-read)
Sample consumption Higher (continuous flow) Lower
Cost per experiment Lower chip cost, higher run cost Higher tip cost, lower run cost

Key differences

SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance)

  • Mechanism: Detects refractive index changes at gold surface
  • Surface: Gold chip with dextran matrix (CM5, CM7, etc.)
  • Flow: Continuous microfluidics
  • Best for: Small molecules, high-affinity, precise kon/koff

BLI (Biolayer Interferometry)

  • Mechanism: Measures optical interference pattern shift
  • Surface: Fiber optic biosensor tips (SA, Ni-NTA, AHC)
  • Flow: Dip-and-read (no microfluidics)
  • Best for: High-throughput, crude samples, antibody screening

Troubleshooting: Why BLI works but SPR doesn't

Cause Mechanism Solution
Hydrophobic CDRs Adsorb to SPR gold/dextran surface Add 0.05% Tween-20, use CM7 chip with longer dextran
Aggregation Mass transport artifacts in SPR fluidics Filter sample (0.22μm), reduce ligand density
High instability Degrades during continuous flow Shorter cycle time, add stabilizers (trehalose 5%)
Charge mismatch Nonspecific binding to charged dextran Adjust buffer pH ±1 from pI, add BSA 1mg/mL
Slow dissociation Long regeneration needed (damages ligand) Use BLI (disposable tips)
