We report the syntheses of phospholipids containing a dithio-group on their
hydrophobic end and a choline or a biotin-group on their hydrophilic end.
As demonstrated by surface plasmon resonance, a monolayer of these dithioli
pids on gold affords specific binding of streptavidin and of biotinylated m
olecules in further steps. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail rights reserv
