Abstract

Numerous strategies for biomolecular detection and analysis rely on simple, robust and cost- effective methods for immobilizing DNA, proteins, and other biomolecules onto surfaces. In most cases the methodology employed for biomolecule immobilization is closely linked to performance, with a key feature being the choice of linking chemistry. A number of strategies have been reported and include physisorption, covalent coupling, and biospecific ...
