To study protein function and interaction, there is a high demand for specific, stable, locally immobilized, and functional protein arrays on solid substrates. To implement this, we propose a protein chip approach based on the combination of electron induced chemical nanolithography [1] with aromatic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and multivalent chelators [2] for high-affinity capturing of His6-tagged proteins. Templates for functional and switchable His-tagged protein architectures were created by electron beam induced changes in 4*-nitro-1,1*-biphenyl-4-thiol SAMs on gold placed in a protein repellent matrix. As a model system carboxy derivative EG3-tris-NTA and His6-tagged proteasome were studied. Different steps of the biochip templates fabrication were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Their functionality was tested via in situ atomic force and fluorescence microscopy. We will present first results of functional protein arrays with about one micrometer lateral dimensions. [1] A.
