Micropatterned carbohydrate displays by self-assembly of glycoconjugate polymers on hydrophobic templates on silicon
We report a novel strategy for micropatterned carbohydrate displays on Si substrates. This method exploited the hydrophobic-hydrophilic microfabrication by photolithography of ODS-SAM on Si substrates and the subsequent selective self-assembly of glycoconjugate polymers onto the hydrophobic regions. Protein micropatterning by molecular recognition on the carbohydrate substrates was also successful.
