Ribosome display and dip-pen nanolithography for the fabrication of protein nanoarrays
Protein nanochip fabrication is performed via immobilizing proteins by dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) and the ribosome display technique. Protein-ribosome-mRNA fusion molecules permit the simultaneous immobilization of functional proteins without purification through hybridization to complementary DNA that has been immobilized on a nanometer scale on the surface via DPN.
