Specifically biofunctionalized surfaces of sensors, in particular immunosensors can be best prepared with peptides due to their high structural diversity. We applied anodic electropolymerization and photocrosslinking for covalent and microstructured fixation on various surfaces. Matrix supported lipid-bilayer membranes were developed on the basis of lipopeptides, which allow the construction of artificial membrane bound receptors and transport systems. The microstructured peptide functionalized surfaces were analyzed by fluorescence-, confocal- and IR-microscopy, plasmon resonance, ELISA and assays including the directed growth of nerve cells and microorganisms. Reflectometric Interference Spectroscopy (RIfS) has been applied for online monitoring of syntheses on surfaces and detection of ligand/ receptor interactions.
