Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a composition of matter comprising: 1) a solid support; and 2) a printed pattern comprising a self-assembled monolayer of linear peptides, wherein said peptides are bound to said solid support by a bond between the solid support and a terminal amino acid, said method comprising the steps:(a) contacting an elastomeric stamp characterized by a relief of said pattern with a solution containing said linear peptide; (b) contacting said stamp with a surface of said solid support under conditions suitable for the reaction between said linear peptide and said solid surface, wherein said linear peptide reacts with said solid support at points of contact between said stamp and said solid support, corresponding to the pattern; and (c) removing said stamp.
