Tunable nanoplasmonic biosensing for lipid and protein applications is reported based on controlling lipid membrane architecture on surfaces. The interaction of a peptide with lipid membranes is highly sensitive to the membrane architecture on top of plasmonic nanodisks, and the measurement response varies in a manner which is consistent with the surrounding lipid environment.
Keywords: biomimetics; biosensors; nanotechnology; self-assembly; tunable plasmonic properties.
