title: Selection and characteristics of peptides that bind thermally grown silicon dioxide films.
abstract: Dodecapeptides with affinity for thermally grown silicon dioxide were isolated by phage display. Selectants had high histidine content, though distributions of histidine are distinct from reported silica particle-precipitating peptides. Our peptides will have utility as nanoscale affinity domains when inserted into proteins intended for deposition on thermal oxide surfaces/interfaces in micro/nanodevices.
