Immobilizing proteins in specific orientations is important for diagnostic protein arrays, biomaterials, and other applications where retention of bioactivity is essential. We report an approach for protein micropatterning that exploits a chemoselective reaction to conjugate proteins at the N-terminus to polymer films. A copolymer from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a Boc-protected aminooxy tetra( ethylene glycol) methacrylate was synthesized by radical polymerization. Boc groups were locally deprotected using photoacid generator-based photolithography. Micropatterns were verified by fluorescence microscopy utilizing green fluorescent aldehyde microspheres. Streptavidin that was subjected to a transamination reaction to install an alpha-ketoamide group at the N-terminus was conjugated to the patterns by oxime bond formation. Since the majority of proteins may be modified to contain a reactive carbonyl group, this methodology should be applicable to pattern a wide variety of proteins specifically through the N-terminus.
