Protein grafting

Of course, a poly(ethylene oxide)-functionalized SAM may be further functionalized with suitable groups to ensure protein grafting on the SAM surface. The best choice for these purposes are active esters functionalization of oligo(ethylene oxide) SAMs with biotin85 has also been reported. The adsorption of poly(ethylene oxide)-functionalized disulfides on gold surfaces has been proven to give SAMs with protein-resistant surfaces comparable to those obtained from oligo(ethylene oxide)-functionalized thiols.86...
