Changing Functionality of Surfaces by Directed Self-Assembly Using Oligonucleotides—The Oligo-Tag

A method is presented to modify surfaces for biotechnological applications. Oligonucleotides have been coupled covalently to a pre-activated surface. Complementary oligonucleotides hybridize to the surface, which are conjugated with functionalities. The oligonucleotides serve as “Oligo-Tags” for the...
