Recently, there have been significant developments in the use of nanolithography techniques for patterning surfaces with proteins on the submicrometer length scale. In principle, one can use smaller sample volumes and achieve higher sensitivity due to the small size of the entire array and the individual features that comprise the array. Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) is one technique that has shown particular promise in this area, allowing one to prepare standardized multicomponent arrays of biomolecules that can retain their biorecognition properties once transferred to a surface. DPN is a direct-write printing technique that uses chemically modified AFM tips to pattern materials on a variety of substrates at the nanoscale level. Direct nanoscale patterning of biotin on silanized glass using DPN was facilitated by the addition of a small amount of the biocompatible nonionic surfactant Tween-20. The fabrication of streptavidin or avidin nanostructures built upon DPN patterning of biotin represents a general route toward molecular recognition-mediated protein immobilization at the nanoscale due to the prevalence of biotin-tagged biomolecules. A correlation was found between activated biotin transfer from the AFM tip with surfactant and an increase in the wettability of the partially hydrophobic silanized substrate. Systematic variation of surfactant concentration represents a new control variable, which may expand the possible ink-substrate combinations used for patterning biotin and other biomolecules with DPN, including proteins.
