Abstract: | Exposure of oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG)-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to UV light leads to the formation of aldehyde groups, leading to a simple one-step method for the introduction of reactive functional groups to protein-resistant surfaces. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to demonstrate binding of amines to the modified surfaces, while surface plasmon resonance has shown that proteins are covalently bound. Modified OEG monolayers bind streptavidin at least as well as N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester functionalized monolayers. Micrometer and nanometer-scale patterns are conveniently fabricated by exposing the monolayers using, respectively, a mask and a scanning near-field optical microscope. |
