A novel approach to “direct-write” negative nano-lithography, based on biological specificity, where a proteolytic enzyme is used to etch grooves in a hardened protein layer. We are using trypsin to engrave features in a BSA layer, while flowing the trypsin solution via a nano-pipette (controlled by a SPM) to the surface. Trypsin is a proteolytic enzyme that cleaves very specifically on the car...
