• precipitation of the complexes [30][31]. Alternatively, the application of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) also creates artificial situations not sufficiently related to the natural cellular events, thus requiring complex mathematical algorithms [32]. Most solid-phase immunoassays (ELLA, ELISA) also fall under

In recent years, microcontact printing (μCP) [21][22][23][24] has gained importance as a replication method for biological microarrays such as protein [25][26] and DNA microarrays [27][28][29][30

• functionalized with Man ink, and vice versa. As expected, it was observed that FITC-HisHis binds to Gal, and not to Man (Figure 5). In our preceding work, we had observed that the parallel isomer of HisHis binds to β-galactosides [40]. In order to confirm the interaction between HisHis and NANA with surface
