Abstract
We show the formation of aligned tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles on mica surfaces through a process of micro-contact printing, providing parallel arrays of TMV with sub-micron features sizes. Key features of this process include dilution of the TMV solutions with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to prevent undo aggregation, formation of extremely TMV solutions, and allowing the "TMV-inked" stamp to dry in a humid environment, prior to TMV deposition.
