  1. BAYINDIR GROUP JOURNAL CLUB-1 Photofabrication of 3D Protein Hydrogels for Nanobiotechnology Applications Erol Özgür

  2. MOTIVATIONS • Microfabricated platforms in cellular biology: valuable research tools • Microfluidics technology • Major problem is biocompatibility • Limited functionality of interfacial materials • No perturbation during experiment process is possible • Aim: Platforms for cellular research that could be modified in situ

  3. Protein Cross-linking for Formation of 3D Hydrogels • BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) is a soluble protein with 607 residues • BSA(aq) BSA(prec.) • UV light: Inefficient, little control on the shape • Multiphoton excitation: Precisely controlled submicrometer sized shapes • Photosensitizers increase the efficiency of the process • Optical parameters: • Tsunami Ti:Sapphire laser at 730-740 nm, Zeiss Axiovert IM 100X Fluar 1.3 NA objective, with a confocal scanner hν

  4. In Situ Formation of Protein Hydrogel

  5. 3D Protein Hydrogels Created by Photofabrication with Photomasks

  6. Chemical Response of Protein Hydrogels: Na2SO4

  7. Chemical Response of Protein Hydrogels: Na2SO4

  8. Chemical Response of Protein Hydrogels: pH from 7 to 12.2 with NaOH
