On the surface of it : Experimental and computational analyses for a hybrid peptide–substrate system showed that changing the position of a proline residue in synthetic peptides changes their adsorption onto semiconductors substantially and predictably (see picture with a Si(100) surface). Such information is essential for the formation of novel peptide–solid interfaces for nanotechnological applications.
