Nano-Patterning of Bioengineered Polymer Surface Advisor: Prof. Pinar Akcora

Understanding and controlling the protein-surface interactions is crucial for biomaterial design. This project is on preparing heterogeneous nanoporous polymer thin film functionalized with proteins. The properties of tethered proteins inside polymeric nanopores are influenced by the pore size and surface chemistry. Our findings manifest the effect of confinement and crowding on conformation and mechanical properties of proteins tethered on surfaces.

Prepared nanostructured polymer thin films by applying different lithography techniques.

Utilized AFM and FTIR to probe the density and conformations of proteins inside the polymeric nanopores.

Revealed that the orientation of protein molecules is the key factor in determining their surface concentration in different size of nanopores.

Investigated the stiffness of the proteins which is influenced by a complex interplay of protein conformations and concentration.

Designed crucial tests to optimize the design of protein arrays and other biomedical devices.
