Biotinylated Polyalkylthiophene Thin Films and Monolayers that SpecificallyIncorporate Phycobiliproteins: Toward Smart Materials

摘要

We are investigating thin film and monolayer systems that involve conjugatedconducting polymers and specific biological macromolecules. One class of conducting polymers, polyalkylthiophenes, are derivatized with biotin. These biotinylated polymers form the basis for a generic cassette system of attachment for any biological molecule through biotinylation or interaction with
