We report on the design of pH-switchable monolayers allowing a reversible and ordered introduction of affinity reagents on sensor surfaces. The principal layer building blocks consist of α-(4-amidinophenoxy)alkanes decorated at the ω-position with affinity ligands. These spontaneously self-assemble on top of carboxylic acid terminated SAMs to form reversible homo or mixed monolayers (rSAMs) that are tunable with respect to the nature of the head group, layer order and stability while featuring pH responsiveness and the dynamic nature of noncovalent build assemblies. We show that this results in a range of unique biosensor features. As a first example a sialic acid rSAM featuring strong lectin affinity is here used to sense hemagglutinin and influenza virus (H5N1) at the pM and fM level by in situ ellipsometry in a fully reversible fashion. We believe that the rSAM concept will find widespread use in surface chemistry and overall for boosting sensitivity in affinity biosensors.

We report on the design of heteromultivalent influenza A virus (IAV) receptors based on reversible self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) featuring two distinct mobile ligands. The principal layer building blocks consist of α-(4-amidinophenoxy)alkanes decorated at the ω-position with sialic acid (SA) and the neuraminidase inhibitor Zanamivir (Zan), acting as two mobile ligands binding to the complementary receptors hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) on the virus surface. From ternary amphiphile mixtures comprising these ligands, the amidines spontaneously self-assemble on top of carboxylic acid-terminated SAMs to form reversible mixed monolayers (rSAMs) that are easily tunable with respect to the ligand ratio.

Cells adhering onto surfaces sense and respond to chemical and physical surface features. The control over cell adhesion behavior influences cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, which are important considerations in biomaterial design for cell culture, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Here, we report on a supramolecular-based approach to prepare reversible self-assembled monolayers (rSAMs) with tunable lateral mobility and dynamic control over surface composition to regulate cell adhesion behavior.

Glycans at the surface of cellular membranes modulate biological activity via multivalent association with extracellular messengers. The lack of tuneable simplified models mimicking this dynamic environment complicates basic studies of these phenomena. We here present a series of mixed reversible self-assembled monolayers (rSAMs) that addresses this deficiency.

Lipid bilayers, forming the outer barrier of cells, display a wide array of proteins and carbohydrates for modulating interfacial biological interactions. Formed by the spontaneous self-assembly of lipid molecules, these bilayers feature liquid crystalline order, while retaining a high degree of lateral mobility. Studies of these dynamic phenomena have been hampered by the fragility and instability of corresponding biomimetic cell membrane models.
