A two-step method to covalently bind biomolecules to group-IV semiconductors: Si(111)/1,2-epoxy-9-decene/esterase.

چکیده
A versatile two-step method has been developed that allows linking of biomolecules covalently to hydrogen-terminated group-IV semiconductors by means of epoxy-alkenes. First, the terminal C==C double bond of the alkene forms a covalent bond with the silicon, germanium, or diamond surface by UV-mediated hydrosilylation. The terminal oxirane moiety then reacts with the biomolecule. As a model system, we investigated the attachment of an esterase B to a Si(111) surface by means of the linker molecule 1,2-epoxy-9-decene. Samples were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The immobilized enzyme retained its activity and exhibited good long-term stability.

Single-step DNA immobilization on antifouling self-assembled monolayers covalently bound to silicon (111).
Hydrosilylation of alkenes with epoxide-terminated tri(ethylene oxide) moieties on Si-H surfaces yields homogeneous monolayers for the efficient coupling of biomolecules. The wetting properties of the epoxide-functionalized surface allow for the spotting of solutions of biomolecules, making the surface amenable to microarraying. Immobilization of thiolated DNA was achieved in a single step to f...

Cyclic carbonates are valuable chemicals for the chemical industry and thus, their efficient synthesis is essential. Commonly, cyclic carbonates are synthesised in a two-step process involving the epoxidation of an alkene and a subsequent carboxylation to the cyclic carbonate. To couple both steps into a direct oxidative carboxylation reaction would be desired from an economical view point sinc...
