Abstract
Dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) is becoming a popular technique to "write" molecules on a surface by using the tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) coated with the desired molecular "ink". In this work, we demonstrate that poly-histidine-tagged peptides and proteins, and free-base porphyrins coated on AFM probes, can be chelated to ionized regions on a metallic nickel surface by applying an electric potential to the AFM tip in the DPN process. DPN has been accomplished in the Tapping Mode of AFM, which creates many possible applications of positioning and subsequently imaging biomolecules, especially on soft surfaces.Keywords
