Abstract

This paper reports on the formation and characterization of semicarbazide termination on aminated boron-doped diamond (BDD) surfaces, and further preparation of peptide microarray through site-specific alpha-oxo semicarbazone ligation. Hydrogen-terminated BDD electrodes were first aminated using NH3 plasma treatment and then reacted with triphosgene and Fmoc-protected hydrazine to yield a protected semicarbazide termination. Subsequent deprotection and chemical reaction with glyoxylyl peptides led to the covalent immobilization of the peptides on the surface through site-specific ligation. The resulting surfaces were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fluorescence measurements.
