چکیده

Self-assembled monolayers of thiols on gold are employed to study the role of surface chemistry on adsorption of polyelectrolytes to solid substrates. The suitability of these substrates is demonstrated in optical reflectivity, which combines high sensitivity to the possibility to precisely control the hydrodynamic conditions at the solid/water interface. Therefore, this system allows the determination of both the adsorbed amount and the kinetics of adsorption. The behavior of two representative strong polyelectrolytes of opposite charge is discussed as a function of pH and of concentration of a monovalent electrolyte in aqueous solutions. The application of equivalent substrates with varying surface chemistry sheds light on the role of different energetic contributions driving polyelectrolyte adsorption.

Electrochemical properties of Nile Blue covalently immobilized on self-assembled thiol-monolayer modified gold electrodes.

A monolayer of Nile Blue (NB) has been covalently immobilized on the self-assembled thiol-monolayer modified gold electrode. Cyclic voltammograms indicated a stable and reverse redox process of NB bonded on the electrode surface. The mechanisms of redox process coupling with proton transfer were proposed. The NB-modified electrode showed excellent electrocatalytic activity toward Nicotinamide a...

A self-assembled monolayer for the binding and study of histidine-tagged proteins by surface plasmon resonance.

This paper reports the generation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) that selectively binds proteins whose primary sequence terminates with a His-tag: a stretch of six histidines commonly incorporated in recombinant proteins to simplify purification. The SAM was prepared by the adsorption onto a gold surface of a mixture of two alkanethiols: one thiol that terminated with a nitrilotriacetic ac...
