PAMAM dendrimer nanopatterns on Si/ SiOx substrates generated by dip-pen nanolithography are used as anchoring scaffolds for the growth of peptides in situ by ring-opening polymerization of tryptophan-N-carboxyanhydrides. This new method for the fabrication of peptide nanoarrays (see image) on a sol...
