چکیده

We report a method to immobilize thiol-containing ligands onto self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates presenting chloracetylated hexa(ethylene glycol) groups. The chloroacetyl groups react with thiols under mild basic conditions, enabling the stable immobilization of biologically active ligands in a well-defined orientation. These SAMs on gold are well suited for studies of biospecific interactions of immobilized ligands with proteins and cells. As a demonstration, we functionalized these SAMs with thiol-containing derivatives of biotin and benzene sulfonamide and observed the specific binding of neutravidin and carbonic anhydrase, respectively. We also used this method to generate mixed SAMs presenting the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide sequence and demonstrated the integrin-mediated adhesion of fibroblast cells to these SAMs. This approach would allow the immobilization of proteins and other sensitive biomolecules and ligands for a wide variety of applications in biotechnology.

Tailored electroactive nanorods for biospecific cell adhesion and differentiation.

We report a strategy for the fabrication of tailored electroactive nanorod substrates for biospecific studies of cell adhesion and stem cell differentiation; to control the interfacial properties of the nanorods we formed self-assembled monolayers of an electroactive hydroquinone group that is able to chemoselectively immobilize oxyamine tethered ligands.

A renewable, chemoselective, and quantitative ligand density microarray for the study of biospecific interactions.

Novel renewable microarray technology has been developed to immobilize and release carbohydrates and proteins from self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of electroactive quinone-terminated alkanethiolates on gold surfaces. This method may be applied to a variety of research fields for use in biosensor technology and the generation of renewable and tailored microarrays for biospecific cell-based assays.

A photochemical method for patterning the immobilization of ligands and cells to self-assembled monolayers.

This work describes a chemically well defined method for patterning ligands to self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold. This method begins with monolayers presenting a nitroveratryloxycarbonyl (NVOC)-protected hydroquinone which is photochemically irradiated to reveal a hydroquinone group. The resulting hydroquinone is then oxidized to the corresponding benzoquinone, providi...

Corrosion Protection of Copper with Hybrid Sol-Gel Containing 1H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-thiol

To improve the corrosion protection of copper metal, 0.01M concentration of 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol (TAT) was incorporated into the hybrid sol-gel monolayers containing 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). It was further subjected to hydrolysis and condensation reaction to form a sol-gel matrix. The TAT-doped hybrid sol-gel coating was applied over the c...

Using self-assembled monolayers to model the extracellular matrix.

The extracellular matrix is an insoluble aggregate of large proteins and glycosoaminoglycans that comprises the microenvironment of cells in tissue. The matrix displays a host of ligands that interact with cell-surface receptors to mediate the attachment and spreading of cells and regulate signaling processes. Studies of cell-matrix interactions and downstream signaling processes commonly emplo...
