Topographies of Organized Monolayer of α-Amylase Observed by Atomic Force Microscopy

Preparing the organized ultrathin film of proteins is the key to developing of protein-based molecular devices such as biosensors. In the past, the organized molecular layers were fabricated by the means of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB), which utilized the amphipathy of molecules. Molecular deposition (MD) which is based on the electrostatic interaction between the charged substrates and oppositely charged absorbate is a new and versatile method for preparing organized self-assembled ultrathin film…
