Abstract
We have succeeded to immobilize fluorescent proteins selectively using a micro-structured organosilane self-assembled monolayer as a template. An organosilane layer with amino terminal group was formed on a thermally oxidized Si wafer by liquid-phase method and then was pattern-etched by vacuum ultraviolet light (VUV). The second organosilane layer with thiol terminal group was deposited on the etched area by chemical vapor surface modification method (CVSM). These micro-structured organosilane layer containing two reactive terminal groups were chemically modified using bi-functional linkers. Two kinds of fluorescent protein, Enhanced Cyan Fluorescent Protein (ECFP) and R-phycoerythrin were selectively immobilized on the chemically modified surface.
