Well that looks pretty real then. You might have wrong concentrations in one or the other experiment perhaps hence the difference.

I am not quite sure about the PI of my protein but I have different truncations of my protein which behaved similarly. I can fit my data quite good with the Chi2 around 1 and Rmax 150. The kon is about 10e4 and the KD is around 0.2 nM. The concentration of analytes I used was from 100 nM to 5 nM. I used a control buffer which can disrupt the binding. In that buffer, no binding was observed. I also used fluorescence anisotropy to measure the Ki of the interaction which showed a 1 nM binding compared with the 0.2 nM binding in the SPR assay.

To my surprise, the dissociation rate is very low (~ 10e-6). During the measurement, I use a long dissociation time (2 hours) .I repeat several time which give very similar results. So I am wondering if the BIAcore can measure such a low off-rate kinetic. What is the limitation of BIAcore? Any review about that? Thanks in advance.
