Nanoarray platform sensitivity to biologically relevant multivalent cation concentrations. (A-C) AFM images of origami immobilization post ethanol drying and rehydration on an activated glass substrate through direct incubation in 1, 5, and 40 mM Mg2+ buffer, respectively. (D-F) Incubation in 40 mM Mg2+ followed by ethanol drying and 2 h rehydration in 1, 5, and 40 mM Mg2+ and consequent drying. (G-I) TIRF images and their corresponding FFTs (insets) of Mg2+-mediated immobilization on the nanoarray platform with 700 nm pitch at 40 mM Mg2+ followed by a 2 h rehydration in 1, 5, and 40 mM Mg2+ buffers.
