After spectroscopic characterization of monolayers, the interaction between Cal-4and surface confined bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the SAMs was analyzed by surfaceplasmon resonance (SPR). The estimated surface concentration of BSA on the Cal-4 SAMwith crownether group was the highest among the three Cal-4 derivatives. Anti-hIgG andhIgG pair was employed for the investigation of protein-protein interaction. Molecularinteraction between anti-hIgG and hIgG can be detected in a concentration range of 10pg/mL to 200 pg/mL on the Cal-4 derivative 3 SAM modified SPR chip. %K Calix[4]arene %K Self-assembled monolayer %K Linker system %K anti-hIgG %K Biosensor. %U http://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/7/7/1091
