Protein nanopatterning and release from gold nano-cavity arrays.
Selective chemical modification of a gold nano-cavity array is achieved via nanoscale templating to create fibrinogen patterned cavities with a polyethylene glycol modified top surface. Application of a reducing potential to the array readily releases the protein from the cavities.
