Self-assembled organic monolayers: model systems for studying adsorption of proteins at surfaces
TL;DR: Self-assembled monolayers of omega-functionalized long-chain alkanethiolates on gold films are excellent model systems with which to study the interactions of proteins with organic surfaces and the ability to create interfaces with similar structures and well-defined compositions should make it possible to test hypotheses concerning protein adsorption.
