Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Polymerized lipid bilayers (PSLBs) offer ultrastable and protein-adsorption-resistant surfaces.
  • Previous work established the stability and low nonspecific adsorption of poly(bis-SorbPC) PSLBs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of polymerized lipid bilayers as substrates for microcontact printing (muCP) of protein films.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of direct protein immobilization on PSLBs using muCP.

Main Methods:

  • Microcontact printing (muCP) of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto dried poly(bis-SorbPC) planar supported lipid bilayers (PSLBs).
  • Utilized poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamps for protein transfer.
  • Characterized protein surface coverage and adsorption.

Main Results:

  • Direct muCP of BSA onto poly(bis-SorbPC) PSLBs yielded a layer of strongly adsorbed protein.
  • Achieved surface coverage comparable to protein films printed on glass surfaces.
  • Demonstrated the ability to create immobilized protein monolayers and multilayers.

Conclusions:

  • Polymerized lipid bilayers are effective substrates for muCP of proteins.
  • Direct muCP is a technically simple and efficient method for creating protein-immobilized surfaces.
  • This approach has potential applications in biosensing and surface functionalization.
