Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to nanometric biomolecular arrays and to a novel approaches for the preparation of such nanoarrays, based on binding of biomolecules, such as avidin, to templates generated by lithographically-anodizing biocompatible ultrathin films on silicon substrates using AFM anodization lithography. The present invention is also directed to methods of using such arrays.
