Thiolated 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine for an antifouling biosensor platform

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 7;49(77):8683-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44357d.

Abstract

We developed a new building block for a protein- and cell-repellant self-assembled monolayer (SAM) from 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) via a simple Michael-type addition to one mercapto group in alkanedithiol. The thiolated MPC can enable functionalization of a noble metal electrode to minimize noise signal in biosensing.
