title: Room temperature freezing and orientational control of surface-immobilized peptides in air.
abstract: Sugar coatings can stabilize the "native" structure and control the orientation of surface-immobilized peptides in air, providing a potential approach to retain biological functions of surface-immobilized biomolecules in air. This method is general and applicable to complex enzymes.
