Read, write and erase nanolithography
A versatile way to make protein nanoarrays quickly and efficiently has been developed by biochemists in Germany. Ali Tinazli and colleagues at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University and the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry employed nanolithography techniques using an atomic force microscope (AFM) in a special oscillation mode to assemble protein complexes under physiological conditions. The method allows even fragile proteins to be assembled on the nanoscale – something that was not possible until now.
