Self-assembled bioconjugates for biochip technologies

Pages 639-643 | Received 02 Nov 2005, Accepted 23 Dec 2005, Published online: 25 Jan 2007
 

Abstract

This article gives an overview on current research in the area of self-assembled bioconjugates comprised of DNA-, protein- and nanoparticle building blocks. In particular, the highly specific molecular recognition capabilities of short DNA oligomers are utilized to organize inorganic nanoparticles and proteins, thereby allowing for the fabrication of functional biomolecular hybrid devices. These devices are employed, for instance, to generate programmable biomaterials and probes for bioanalytical methods, such as immunological assays and microarray technologies.
