Sensor Surfaces Functionalized with Peptides

The great structural diversity displayed by peptides allows the tailored production of biofunctionalized surfaces e.g. for cellular biosensors. Peptides can be fixed covalently to surfaces by electropolymerisation, photo-crosslinking and thiol-gold attachment. This can also be done on defined microstructures that can be analysed by spectroscopic methods, by ELISA and by bio-assays. Matrix assisted bilayer membranes capable of incorporating membrane proteins are being developed with the aid of lipopeptides.
