Patterning of lactoferrin using functional SAMs of iron complexes.
A new method has been developed that allows spatially resolved adsorption of lactoferrin on a surface, by means of specific non-covalent interaction between the native protein and a patterned self-assembled monolayer of an iron-containing terpyridine complex.
