Foldamers are attractive candidates because of their relatively small size and designable interaction surface. This paper describes a sandwich type enzyme-linked immunoassay with a tetravalent ?-peptide foldamer helix array as capture element and enzyme labeled tracer antibodies. The assay was found to be selective to ?-amyloid oligomeric species with surface features transiently present in ongoing aggregation. In optimized conditions, with special emphasis on the foldamer immobilization, a detection limit of 5 pM was achieved with a linear range of 10?500 pM. These results suggest that protein mimetic foldamers can be useful tools in biosensors and affinity assays. ER -
