    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processes for suspending stretched nucleic acids over surface features. These processes can be used to prepare stretched nucleic acids that are more active in enzymatic reactions and other reactions than those laid down on a flat surface. These processes can be achieved by using a photoresist layer on top of a substrate, stretch a nucleic acid on top of the surface, and then remove part of the photoresist to form surface features that suspend the stretched nucleic acid. Furthermore, the formation of a hydrogel layer over the stretched nucleic acid and the surface features can transfer the stretched nucleic acid to the hydrogel for further reactions, including enzymatic reactions.

    Abstract: The invention provides an amphiphilic coating for the direct and rapid synthesis of an array of peptides and small molecular compounds on a planar surface of a solid support, comprising a hydrophilic chemical structure and a lipophilic group, wherein said peptides and small molecular compounds differ from spot to spot from each other in the chemical structure, characterized in that said amphiphilic coating possesses low wettability to polar aprotic solvents used in the array synthesis; said amphiphilic coating possessing low wettability is designed that it can be converted to a coating possessing high wettability by hydrolysis of the lipophilic group; and said amphiphilic coating comprises an amino group for the reaction with an electrophilic reagent. The invention further provides a solid support comprising said amphiphilic coating and a method for method for the direct and rapid synthesis of an array of peptides and small molecular compounds on a planar surface of a solid support, wherein said planar surface of a solid support comprises said amphiphilic coating. Said method includes the enhancing of the wettability of a glass surface to organic solvents to realize automated on-demand biomolecular array synthesis comprising both, peptides and small molecular compounds. The amphiphilic surface can be switched to a hydrophilic surface, resulting in high density arrays suitable for protein- and cell-based screening.
