Identification and characterization of polydimethylsiloxane-binding peptides (PDMS-tag) for oriented immobilization of functional protein on a PDMS surface.

In this study we focused on identifying and characterizing polydimethylsiloxane-binding peptides (PDMS-tags) that show a strong binding affinity towards a PDMS surface. Three kinds of E. coli host proteins (ELN, OMC and TPA) that were preferentially adsorbed onto a PDMS surface were identified from the E.
