Abstract
Efficient peptide adsorption on metasurfaces is essential for advanced biosensing applications. In this study, we demonstrate how ellipsometric measurements coupled with numerical simulations allow for real-time tracking of temporin-SHa peptide adsorption on gold metasurfaces. By characterizing spectral shifts at 660 nm, 920 nm, and 1000 nm, we reveal a rapid saturation of surface coverage after 3.5 h, with a significant preferential adsorption at the resonator ends. Our approach provides a novel methodology for monitoring peptide binding, which could be applied to a wide range of biosensor designs.
