摘要 |
The invention relates to structures for the immobilisation and protection of organic molecules, in particular, functional biological molecules. In one aspect the invention provides a structure comprising a substrate having a nanostructured spacer on a surface thereof; and an organic molecule immobilised on the surface of the substrate. Structures of the invention have a variety of potential utilities, including in protection of catalysts used in continuous flow, in medical devices and in protection of ligands for the binding of analytes in biosensors and diagnostic devices. |
