Abstract
This work focuses on demonstrating the working principle of inkjet-printed Au nanoparticle (NP) two-layer Gigahertz (2.6 GHz) microwave split-ring resonators (SRRs) as a novel platform for the detection of analytes on flexible substrates. In contrast to the standard fabrication of split-ring resonator biosensors using printed circuit board technology, which results in a seven-layer system, the resonators in this work were fabricated using a two-layer system. A ground plane is embedded in the SRR measurement setup. In this method, a microwave electromagnetic wave is coupled into the Au SRR via an inkjet-printed Cu-NP stripline that is photonically sintered. This coupling mechanism facilitates the detection of analytes by inducing resonance shifts in the SRR. In this study, the functionality of the printed sensors was demonstrated using two different Au functionalization processes, firstly, with HS-PEG7500-COOH, and, secondly, with protein G with an N-terminal cysteine residue. The sensing capabilities of the printed structures are shown by the attachment of biomolecules to the SRR and the measurement of the resulting resonance shift. The experiments show a clear shift of the resonance frequency in the range of 20-30 MHz for both approaches. These results demonstrate the functionality of the simplified printed two-layer microwave split-ring resonator for use as a biosensor.

Abstract
Mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are often used as highly tunable substrates for biomedical and biosensing applications. It is well documented, however, that mixed SAMs can be highly disordered at the molecular level and do not pack as closely or homogeneously as single-component SAMs, particularly when the chain lengths and head groups of the SAM thiol components are significantly different. In this study, we explore the impact of SAM structure and mixing ratio (-OH and -CH3 termini) on the weak physisorption behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA), which adsorbs more readily to hydrophobic, methyl-terminated SAMs. Our results suggest that once the mixture includes 50% or more of the methyl terminus, the mixing ratio alone is a relatively good predictor of adsorption, regardless of the relative chain lengths of the thiols used in the mixture. This trend persists at any mixing ratio for SAMs where methyl- and hydroxyl-terminated groups are the same length or where the hydroxyl-terminated thiol is longer. The only variance observed is at low mixing ratios (<50% methyl-terminated) for a mixed SAM where the methyl-terminated component has a longer chain length. Relative protein adsorption increases on these mixtures, perhaps due to the disordered exposure of the excess alkane backbone. Taken together, however, we do not find significant evidence that varying chain lengths for mixed SAMs prepared on polycrystalline substrates and analyzed in air have an outsized influence on nanoscopic adsorption behavior, despite molecular-level disorder in the SAM itself.

Abstract
Plasmonic biosensors are increasingly being used for the analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from disease areas. However, the high non-specific binding of EVs to a gold-sensing surface has been a critical problem and hindered the true translational potential. Here, we report that direct antibody immobilization on the plasmonic gold surface via physisorption shows excellent capture of cancer-derived EVs with ultralow non-specific binding even at very high concentrations. Contrary to commonly used methods that involve thiol-based linker attachment and an EDC/sulfo-NHS reaction, we show a higher specific capture rate and >50-fold lower non-specific on citrate-capped plain and nanopatterned gold surfaces. The method provides a simple, fast, and reproducible means to functionalize plasmonic gold surfaces with antibodies for robust EV biosensing.

Abstract
The use of enzymes immobilized on nanomagnetic supports has produced surprising results in catalysis, mainly due to the increase in surface area and the potential for recovery and reuse. However, the meticulous control of the process and difficulties in reproducibility have made industrial-scale applications unfeasible. Furthermore, the role of conjugation strategies in the catalytic activity and recycling of catalysts is unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the conjugation of enzymes on nanomagnetic supports through physical adsorption (naked) or covalent bonding with mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) ligands. The free lipase obtained from Rhizomucor miehei was used as a model enzyme. Total protein and enzyme activity were determined using spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) and the p-nitrophenyl palmitate (p-NPP) hydrolysis method. The results indicated that a more significant enzyme surface loading does not always mean better immobilization success. The physical adsorption binding strategy had higher surface loading and low catalytic activity. On the other hand, covalent coupling with free NH2 had an excellent catalytic activity with very low surface loading. Finally, we show that recyclability can be improved with conjugation mediated by disulfide bonds. The findings presented here are essential for developing nanoconjugates with high enzymatic activity, which can guarantee the success of several industrial applications.

Abstract
Background Excessive aggregation of β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) is regarded as the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Exploring the underlying mechanism regulating Aβ aggregation remains challenging and investigating aggregation events of Aβ in the presence and absence of metallic ions at molecular level would be meaningful in elucidating the role of metal cations on interactions between Aβ molecules. In this study, chemical self-assembled monolayer (SAM) method was employed to fabricate monolayer of β-amyloid peptides Aβ42 on gold substrate with a bolaamphiphile named 16-Mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA). Firstly, the samples of gold substrate (blank control), the MHA-modified substrate, and the Aβ42-modified substrate were detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to track the self-assembly process. Aggregation behaviors of Aβ42 before and after metallic ions (Zn2+, Ca2+, Al3+) treatment were monitored by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the interaction between Aβ42 and metallic ions (Zn2+, Ca2+, Al3+) was investigated by surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS). Results The XPS spectra of binding energy of gold substrate (blank control), the MHA-modified substrate, and the Aβ42-modified substrate are well fitted with the corresponding monolayer’s composition, which indicates that Aβ42 monolayer is well formed. The recorded surface morphology of different experimental groups obtained by AFM showed markedly different nanostructures, indicating occurrence of aggregation events between Aβ42 molecules after adding metal ions to the solution. Compared to the control group, the presence of metallic ions resulted in the increased size of surface structures on the observed 3D topography. Besides, the intermolecular rupture force of Aβ42 increased with the addition of metallic ions. Further study by SERS showed that the Raman strength of Aβ42 changes significantly after the metal cation treatment. A considerable part of the amide bonds interacts with metal cations, leading to a structural change, which is characterized by the weakened β-fold Raman peak. Conclusion The AFM imaging results suggest that aggregation events occurred between Aβ42 molecules with the addition of metal cations. In addition, the results of force tests indicate that the presence of metallic ions could promote adhesion between Aβ42 molecules, which is likely to be the trigger for aggregation behavior of Aβ42. Furthermore, the effect of metallic cations on the conformational change of Aβ42 studied by SERS supported the results obtained by AFM. Taken together, the results showed that the presence of substoichiometric metal cations promotes aggregation behavior between Aβ42 molecules on the substrate at pH 7.4.

Abstract
The homeostasis and imbalance of glutathione (GSH), an important antioxidant in organisms, are one of the key signals that reflect the health of organisms. In this paper, a novel SERS sensing platform based on Ag film@Si that self-assembled using silver nanospheres was proposed, which was used for the highly sensitive and selective detection of GSH. With the aid of an oil/water/oil three-phase system, the nano-silver film was self-assembled and finally deposited on silicon wafers. The heterobifunctional crosslinking agent N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP), which contains pyridine rings and disulfide bonds, was involved in the exchange reaction between the sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds. With the addition of GSH, the breakage of disulfide bonds was promoted, thereby enhancing the SERS signal of SPDP. GSH can be detected sensitively by detecting the changes in the SPDP signal. The detection limit of GSH is 10 nM, and the method is still highly stable when the external environment is serum or other more complex environments.

Abstract
The early detection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is of paramount importance to achieve efficient therapeutic treatment and limit the disease spreading. In this perspective, the assessment of biosensing assay for the HIV-1 p24 capsid protein plays a pivotal role in the timely and selective detection of HIV infections. In this study, multi-parameter-SPR has been used to develop a reliable and label-free detection method for HIV-1 p24 protein. Remarkably, both physical and chemical immobilization of mouse monoclonal antibodies against HIV-1 p24 on the SPR gold detecting surface have been characterized for the first time. The two immobilization techniques returned a capturing antibody surface coverage as high as (7.5 ± 0.3) × 1011 molecule/cm2 and (2.4 ± 0.6) × 1011 molecule/cm2, respectively. However, the covalent binding of the capturing antibodies through a mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiols led to a doubling of the p24 binding signal. Moreover, from the modeling of the dose-response curve, an equilibrium dissociation constant KD of 5.30 × 10-9 M was computed for the assay performed on the SAM modified surface compared to a much larger KD of 7.46 × 10-5 M extracted for the physisorbed antibodies. The chemically modified system was also characterized in terms of sensitivity and selectivity, reaching a limit of detection of (4.1 ± 0.5) nM and an unprecedented selectivity ratio of 0.02.

Abstract
Gravimetric transducers produce a signal based on a change in mass. These transducers can be used to construct gas sensors or biosensors using odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as recognition elements for small volatile organic compounds. The methods described in this chapter are based on the immobilization of the OBPs onto functionalized (activated) self-assembled monolayer (SAMs) on gold and on nanocrystalline diamond surfaces. Depending on the surface immobilization methods used to fabricate the biosensor, recombinant proteins can be engineered to express six histidine tags either on the N-terminal or C-terminal of the proteins and these can also be used to facilitate protein immobilization. These methods are used to produce functional sensors based on quartz crystal microbalances or surface acoustic wave devices and are also applicable to other types of gravimetric transducers.

Abstract
Technologically useful and robust graphene-based interfaces for devices require the introduction of highly selective, stable, and covalently bonded functionalities on the graphene surface, whilst essentially retaining the electronic properties of the pristine layer. This work demonstrates that highly controlled, ultrahigh vacuum covalent chemical functionalization of graphene sheets with a thiol-terminated molecule provides a robust and tunable platform for the development of hybrid nanostructures in different environments. We employ this facile strategy to covalently couple two representative systems of broad interest: metal nanoparticles, via S-metal bonds, and thiol-modified DNA aptamers, via disulfide bridges. Both systems, which have been characterized by a multitechnique approach, remain firmly anchored to the graphene surface even after several washing cycles. Atomic force microscopy images demonstrate that the conjugated aptamer retains the functionality required to recognize a target protein. This methodology opens a new route to the integration of high-quality graphene layers into diverse technological platforms, including plasmonics, optoelectronics, or biosensing. With respect to the latter, the viability of a thiol-functionalized chemical vapor deposition graphene-based solution-gated field-effect transistor array was assessed.

Abstract
Investigation of non-covalent interaction of hydrophobic surfaces with the protein G (PrG) is necessary due to their frequent utilization in immunosensors and ELISA. It has been confirmed that surfaces, including carbonous-nanostructures (CNS) could orient proteins for a better activation. Herein, PrG interaction with single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and graphene (Gra) nanostructures was studied by employing experimental and MD simulation techniques. It is confirmed that the PrG could adequately interact with both SWCNT and Gra and therefore fine dispersion for them was achieved in the media. Results indicated that even though SWCNT was loaded with more content of PrG in comparison with the Gra, the adsorption of the PrG on Gra did not induce significant changes in the IgG tendency. Several orientations of the PrG were adopted in the presence of SWCNT or Gra; however, SWCNT could block the PrG-FcR. Moreover, it was confirmed that SWCNT reduced the α-helical structure content in the PrG. Reduction of α-helical structure of the PrG and improper orientation of the PrG-SWCNT could remarkably decrease the PrG tendency to the Fc of the IgG. Importantly, the Gra could appropriately orient the PrG by both exposing the PrG-FcR and also by blocking the fragment of the PrG that had tendency to interact with Fab in IgG.

Abstract
In this paper we present a new method to electrodeposit highly porous gold (h-PG) onto a polycrystalline solid gold electrode without any template. The electrodeposition is carried out by first cycling the electrode potential between +0.8 and 0 V in 10 mM HAuCl4 with 2.5 M NH4Cl and then applying a negative potential for the production of hydrogen bubbles at the electrode surface. After that the modified electrode was characterized in sulfuric acid to estimate the real surface area ( Areal) to be close to 24 cm2, which is roughly 300 times higher compared to the bare gold electrodes (0.08 cm2). The electrode was further incubated overnight with three different thiols (4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), 4-mercaptophenol (4-MPh), and 4-aminothiophenol (4-APh)) in order to produce differently charged self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on the electrode surface. Finally a fructose dehydrogenase (FDH) solution was drop-cast onto the electrodes. All the modified electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry both under nonturnover and turnover conditions. The FDH/4-MPh/h-PG exhibited two couples of redox peaks for the heme c1 and heme c2 of the cytochrome domain of FDH and as well as a well pronounced catalytic current density (about 1000 μA cm-2 in the presence of 10 mM fructose) due to the presence of -OH groups on the electrode surface, which stabilize and orientate the enzyme layer on the electrode surface. The FDH/4-MPh/h-PG based electrode showed the best analytical performance with an excellent stability (90% retained activity over 90 days), a detection limit of 0.3 μM fructose, a linear range between 0.05 and 5 mM, and a sensitivity of 175 ± 15 μA cm-2 mM-1. These properties were favorably compared with other fructose biosensors reported in the literature. The biosensor was successively tested to quantify the fructose content in food and beverage samples. No significant interference present in the sample matrixes was observed.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional surfaces is of general interest for the fabrication of biomedical, catalytic, microfluidic or biosensing devices. Herein, we report on the preparation of copolymer layers immobilized on gold surface and showing both free thiol and amino groups. These layers are produced by aminolysis of a thiolactone-based copolymer in the presence of a diamine, according to a one-step procedure. The free thiol and amino groups present in the modified copolymer layers can be successfully functionalized with respectively thiolated and carboxylic derivatives, in order to produce bifunctionalized surfaces. In addition, we show that the grafted thiolated derivative can be released by cleavage of the disulfide bond under mild reducing conditions. On the other hand, a side cross-linking reaction occurring during the grafting process and resulting in the formation of copolymer aggregates on the metal surface is evidenced. The methodology developed for the preparation of these bifunctionalized redox-responsive layers should be advantageously used to produce bioactive surfaces with drug loading/release properties.

Abstract
Lipid bilayers, forming the outer barrier of cells, display a wide array of proteins and carbohydrates for modulating interfacial biological interactions. Formed by the spontaneous self-assembly of lipid molecules, these bilayers feature liquid crystalline order, while retaining a high degree of lateral mobility. Studies of these dynamic phenomena have been hampered by the fragility and instability of corresponding biomimetic cell membrane models. Here, we present the construct of a series of oligoethylene glycol-terminated reversible self-assembled monolayers (rSAMs) featuring lipid-bilayer-like fluidity, while retaining air and protein stability and resistance. These robust and ordered layers were prepared by simply immersing a carboxylic acid-terminated self-assembled monolayer into 5-50 μM aqueous ω-(4-ethylene glycol-phenoxy)-α-(4-amidinophenoxy)decane solutions. It is anticipated that this new class of robust and fluidic two-dimensional biomimetic surfaces will impact the design of rugged cell surface mimics and high-performance biosensors.

Abstract
Self-assembly is possibly the most effective and versatile strategy for surface functionalization. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be formed on (semi-)conductor and dielectric surfaces, and have been used in a variety of technological applications. This work aims to review the strategy behind the design and use of self-assembled monolayers in organic electronics, discuss the mechanism of interaction of SAMs in a microscopic device, and highlight the applications emerging from the integration of SAMs in an organic device. The possibility of performing surface chemistry tailoring with SAMs constitutes a versatile approach towards the tuning of the electronic and morphological properties of the interfaces relevant to the response of an organic electronic device. Functionalisation with SAMs is important not only for imparting stability to the device or enhancing its performance, as sought at the early stages of development of this field. SAM-functionalised organic devices give rise to completely new types of behavior that open unprecedented applications, such as ultra-sensitive label-free biosensors and SAM/organic transistors that can be used as robust experimental gauges for studying charge tunneling across SAMs.

Abstract
The use of a robust optical signaling probe with a high signal-to-noise ratio is important in the development of immunoassays. Lanthanide chelates are a promising material for this purpose, which provide time-resolved luminescence (TRL) due to their large Stokes shift and long luminescence lifetime. From this, they have attracted considerable interest in the in vitro diagnostics field. However, the direct use of lanthanide chelates is limited because their luminescent signal can be easily affected by various quenchers. To overcome this drawback, strategies that rely on the entrapment of lanthanide chelates inside nanoparticles, thereby enabling the protection of the lanthanide chelate from water, have been reported. However, the poor stability of the lanthanide-entrapped nanoparticles results in a significant fluctuation in TRL signal intensity, and this still remains a challenging issue. To address this, we have developed a Lanthanide chelate-Encapsulated Silica Nano Particle (LESNP) as a new immunosensing probe. In this approach, the lanthanide chelate is covalently crosslinked within the silane monomer during the silica nanoparticle formation. The resulting LESNP is physically stable and retains TRL properties of the parent lanthanide chelate. Using the probe, a highly sensitive, sandwich-based TRL immunoassay for the cardiac troponin I was conducted, exhibiting a limit of detection of 48 pg/mL. On the basis of the features of the LESNP such as TRL signaling capability, stability, and the ease of biofunctionalization, we expect that the LESNP can be widely applied in the development of TRL-based immunosensing.

Abstract
Metastasis is the major cause of low survival rates among cancer patients. Once cancer cells metastasize, it is extremely difficult to contain the disease. We report on a nanotextured platform for enhanced detection of metastatic cells. We captured metastatic (MDA-MDB-231) and non-metastatic (MCF-7) breast cancer cells on anti-EGFR aptamer modified plane and nanotextured substrates. Metastatic cells were seen to change their morphology at higher rates when captured on nanotextured substrates than on plane substrates. Analysis showed statistically different morphological behaviors of metastatic cells that were very pronounced on the nanotextured substrates. Several distance matrices were calculated to quantify the dissimilarity of cell shape change. Nanotexturing increased the dissimilarity of the metastatic cells and as a result the contrast between metastatic and non-metastatic cells increased. Jaccard distance measurements found that the shape change ratio of the non-metastatic and metastatic cells was enhanced from 1:1.01 to 1:1.81, going from plane to nanotextured substrates. The shape change ratio of the non-metastatic to metastatic cells improved from 1:1.48 to 1:2.19 for the Hausdorff distance and from 1:1.87 to 1:4.69 for the Mahalanobis distance after introducing nanotexture. Distance matrix analysis showed that nanotexture increased the shape change ratios of non-metastatic and metastatic cells. Hence, the detectability of metastatic cells increased. These calculated matrices provided clear and explicit measures to discriminate single cells for their metastatic state on functional nanotextured substrates.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations support a self-assembled monolayer specific energy barrier to solution-phase ions that once surmounted, the entrapped ions support a film embedded ionic capacitance and non-faradaic relaxation (mapping through electrochemical capacitance measurements). The associated capacitance can be assigned as a particular case of general electrochemical capacitance.

Abstract
This research reports an improved conjugation process for immobilization of antibodies on carboxyl ended self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The kinetics of antibody/SAM binding in microfluidic heterogeneous immunoassays has been studied through numerical simulation and experiments. Through numerical simulations, the mass transport of reacting species, namely, antibodies and crosslinking reagent, is related to the available surface concentration of carboxyl ended SAMs in a microchannel. In the bulk flow, the mass transport equation (diffusion and convection) is coupled to the surface reaction between the antibodies and SAM. The model developed is employed to study the effect of the flow rate, conjugating reagents concentration, and height of the microchannel. Dimensionless groups, such as the Damköhler number, are used to compare the reaction and fluidic phenomena present and justify the kinetic trends observed. Based on the model predictions, the conventional conjugation protocol is modified to increase the yield of conjugation reaction. A quartz crystal microbalance device is implemented to examine the resulting surface density of antibodies. As a result, an increase in surface density from 321 ng/cm(2), in the conventional protocol, to 617 ng/cm(2) in the modified protocol is observed, which is quite promising for (bio-) sensing applications.

Quantifying thiol-gold interactions towards the efficient strength control. Nat Commun 2014; 5:4348.

Abstract
The strength of the thiol-gold interactions provides the basis to fabricate robust self-assembled monolayers for diverse applications. Investigation on the stability of thiol-gold interactions has thus become a hot topic. Here we use atomic force microscopy to quantify the stability of individual thiol-gold contacts formed both by isolated single thiols and in self-assembled monolayers on gold surface. Our results show that the oxidized gold surface can enhance greatly the stability of gold-thiol contacts. In addition, the shift of binding modes from a coordinate bond to a covalent bond with the change in environmental pH and interaction time has been observed experimentally. Furthermore, isolated thiol-gold contact is found to be more stable than that in self-assembled monolayers. Our findings revealed mechanisms to control the strength of thiol-gold contacts and will help guide the design of thiol-gold contacts for a variety of practical applications.

Abstract
Peptides, proteins, and extracellular matrix act synergistically to influence cellular function at the biotic-synthetic interface. However, identifying the individual and cooperative contributions of the various combinations and concentration regimes is extremely difficult. The confined channel deposition method we describe affords highly tunable orthogonal reactive concentration gradients that greatly expand the dynamic range, spatial control, and chemical versatility of the reactive silanes that can be controllably deposited. Using metal-free "dual click" immobilization chemistries, multiple peptides with a variety of functionality can be immobilized efficiently and reproducibly enabling optimal concentration profiling and the assessment of synergistic interactions.

Abstract
Protein-DNA interactions are involved in many biochemical pathways and determine the fate of the corresponding cell. Qualitative and quantitative investigations on these recognition and binding processes are of key importance for an improved understanding of biochemical processes and also for systems biology. This review article focusses on atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based single-molecule force spectroscopy and its application to the quantification of forces and binding mechanisms that lead to the formation of protein-DNA complexes. AFM and dynamic force spectroscopy are exciting tools that allow for quantitative analysis of biomolecular interactions. Besides an overview on the method and the most important immobilization approaches, the physical basics of the data evaluation is described. Recent applications of AFM-based force spectroscopy to investigate DNA intercalation, complexes involving DNA aptamers and peptide- and protein-DNA interactions are given.

Abstract
In the present study we investigated the preparation of biofunctionalized surfaces using the direct electrochemical grafting of maleimidophenyl molecules with subsequent covalent immobilization of specific peptide to detect target antibody, thereby extending the application of the biosensing systems towards immunodiagnostics. Para-maleimidophenyl (p-MP) functional groups were electrochemically grafted on gold and silicon surfaces from solutions of the corresponding diazonium salt. A specially synthesized peptide modified with cysteine (Cys-peptide) was then immobilized on the p-MP grafted substrates by cross-linking between the maleimide groups and the sulfhydryl group of the cysteine residues. Accordingly, the Cys-peptide worked as an antigen that was able to bind specifically the target antibody (anti-GST antibody), while it was non-sensitive to a negative contrast antibody (i.e. anti-Flag β). The immobilization of both specific and non-specific antibodies on the Cys-peptide-modified surfaces was monitored by infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry, a quartz crystal microbalance integrated in flow injection analysis system and potentiometric response. The results obtained clearly demonstrated that the direct modification of a surface with maleimidophenyl provides a very simple and reliable way of preparing biofunctionalized surfaces suitable for the construction of immunological biosensors.

Abstract
We have implemented a novel strategy for the oriented immobilization of antibodies onto a gold surface based on the use of a fusion protein, the protein A-gold binding domain (PAG). PAG consists of a gold binding peptide (GBP) coupled to the immunoglobulin-binding domains of staphylococcal protein A. This fusion protein provides an easy and fast oriented immobilization of antibodies preserving its native structure, while leaving the antigen binding sites (Fab) freely exposed. Using this immobilization strategy, we have demonstrated the performance of the immunosensing of the human Growth Hormone by SPR. A limit of detection of 90 ng mL(-1) was obtained with an inter-chip variability lower than 7%. The comparison of this method with other strategies for the direct immobilization of antibodies over gold surfaces has showed the enhanced sensitivity provided by the PAG approach.

Abstract
Thermal stability of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is important for applications in various surface science applications. As a model material, 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA) on template stripped gold surfaces was investigated to determine the effect of temperature on the change of lateral force signal using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Friction force signals were obtained at various temperatures in order to determine whether it was possible to correlate the friction signal with desorption of the thiol molecule from the surface. Samples were heated for up to 10 h ranging from 40 to 80 °C in air and scanned every hour. A kinetic model was introduced to correlate the lateral force signal to the activation energy of desorption of the SAM from gold surface with heating. The activation energy of the detachment using this technique is 25.4 kcal/mol, which is consistent with other more complex techniques.

Abstract
Blood contacting surfaces bind plasma proteins and trigger coagulation by activating factor XII (FXII). The objective of this work was to develop blood contacting surfaces having the dual properties of protein resistance and inhibition of coagulation. Gold was used as a model substrate because it is amenable to facile modification using gold-thiol chemistry and to detailed surface characterization. The gold was modified with both polyethylene glycol (PEG) and corn trypsin inhibitor (CTI), a potent and specific inhibitor of activated FXII (FXIIa). Two methods of surface modification were developed; sequential and direct. In the sequential method PEG was first chemisorbed on gold; CTI was then attached to the PEG. In the direct method a conjugate of PEG and CTI was first prepared; the conjugate was then immobilized on gold. The surfaces were characterized by water contact angle and XPS. Biointeractions with the modified surfaces were assessed by measuring fibrinogen adsorption from buffer and plasma and by immunoblot analysis of eluted proteins after plasma exposure. Inhibition of FXIIa, autoactivation of FXII, and clotting times of plasma in contact with the surfaces were also measured. Both the sequential and direct surfaces showed reduced protein adsorption, increased FXIIa inhibition and longer clotting times compared with controls. Although the CTI density was lower on surfaces prepared using the sequential method, surfaces so prepared exhibited greater CTI activity than those generated by the direct method. It is concluded that the activity of immobilized PEG-CTI depends on the method of attachment and that immobilized CTI may be useful in rendering biomaterials more blood compatible.
