Zusammenfassung:Ultrahigh resolution patterning, preferably carried out by dip-pen nanolithographic printing, can be used to construct peptide and protein nanoarrays with nanometer-level dimensions. The peptide and protein nanoarrays, for example, exhibit almost no detectable nonspecific binding of proteins to their passivated portions. This work demonstrates how dip pen nanolithographic printing can be used in a method to generate high density protein and peptide patterns, which exhibit bioactivity and virtually no non-specific adsorption. It also shows that one can use AFM-based screening procedures to study the reactivity of the features that comprise such nanoarrays. The method encompasses a wide range of protein and peptide structures including, for example, enzymes and antibodies. Features at or below 300 nm can be achieved.
