Preparation of active avidin films by a layer-by-layer deposition of poly(vinyl sulfate) and avidin on a solid surface

Abstract

Multilayer thin films containing avidin have been prepared by a layer-by-layer deposition of poly(vinyl sulfate) and avidin on the surface of a quartz slide, in which avidin retained its binding activity to biotin and analogues.
