Lithography: Nanosphere Lithography as a Versatile Method to Generate Surface‐Imprinted Polymer Films for Selective Protein Recognition (Adv. Funct. Mater. 37/2013)

Nanosphere lithography with nanosphere-protein conjugates is proposed by R. E. Gyurcsányi and co-workers as a generic method to create surface molecularly imprinted polymer films for selective protein recognition. On page 4703, electrosynthesis of a polymer film in the voids of the nanosphere array followed by removal of the nanospheres generates complementary cavities bearing the imprints of the proteins.
