Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT: Creating small-molecule-functionalized platforms for high-throughput screening or biosensing applications requires precise placement of probes on solid substrates and the ability to capture and to sort targets from multicomponent samples. Here, chemical lift-off lithography was used to fabricate large-area, high-fidelity patterns of small-molecule probes. Lift-off lithography enables biotin-streptavidin patterned recognition with feature sizes ranging from micrometers to below 30 nm. Subtractive patterning via lift-off facilitated insertion of a different type of molecule and thus, multiplexed side-by-side placement of small molecule probes such that binding partners were directed to cognate probes from solution. Small molecules mimicking endogenous neurotransmitters were patterned using lift-off lithography to capture native membraneassociated receptors. We characterized patterning of alkanethiols that self-assemble on Au having different terminal functional groups to expand the library of molecules amenable to lift-off lithography enabling a wide range of functionalization chemistries for use with this simple and versatile patterning method.

 INTRODUCTION To produce multiplexed, functional, biocapture platforms for high-throughput screening or biosensing applications, surface patterning and immobilization strategies are needed to anchor molecules on solid substrates for capturing and sorting respective binding partners from complex mixtures in solution or in vivo.1-11 Although, in vivo sensing to date has been based largely on electrochemical12-14 or enzymatic detection,15-17 small-molecule biocapture strategies provide gateways to new sensing opportunities.18 Immobilization of large biomolecules on surfaces requires avoiding denaturation upon surface adsorption and favorable orientation for ligand binding.19-24 In contrast, surface tethering of smallmolecule probes necessitates judicious selection of coupling chemistries and surface dilution to facilitate recognition by large biomolecule binding partners.22,25-32 For instance, the areal size mismatch on surfaces between small-molecule neurotransmitters or amino acids and large antibody or receptor binding partners is >100 fold.33,34 An important goal of small-molecule chemical patterning is site-specific placement of multiple probes on substrates for the interrogation of target binding specificity and selectivity.32,35-38 However, achieving this objective has been challenging.39-43 We developed additive methods to pattern small molecules to investigate biomolecule capture via relative quantification of binding on functionalized vs. unfunctionalized regions of substrates.

To circumvent problems associated with the sequential surface functionalization chemistries needed for multifunctionalized substrates, we used microfluidics to generate multiplexed substrates.38 Here, two-component SAMs with low proportions of tether molecules (
