A Versatile Gold Surface Approach for Fabrication and Interrogation of Glycoarrays

Abstract

Glycoarrays on gold: A designer gold surface incorporating a self-assembled monolayer with weak protein absorption properties has been optimised for rapid display and interrogation of both native and derivatised glycans in array formats. This rapid, facile approach has diverse applications in glycomics, through exploitation of fluorescence, SPR and MALDI-ToF MS detection methods.
