Abstract

Nanodots of fibronectin which have radii as small as 100 nm and are biofunctional at the cellular level, can be rapidly fabricated in arbitrary spatial patterns using a technique based on electron beam exposure of a protein monolayer with subsequent backfilling of a second protein species.
