Compositions, systems, and methods for the display of analytes such as biomolecules are described. Display of analytes is achieved by coupling of the analytes to displaying molecules that are configured to associate with surfaces or interfaces. Arrays of analytes may be formed from the described systems for utilization in assays and other methods.

A method, computer program product, and system for identifying a surface area size of a biosensing structure, for use in a biosensor device, based on a plurality of nucleotides structures under test. A first set of properties are determined comprising: reaction coordinate values, and potential of mean force (PMF) values, for the plurality of nucleotide structures based on a first set of testing conditions comprising a first surface area material, a first surface area pattern, and a first surface area size. A second set of properties is determined comprising reaction coordinate values, and PMF values, for the plurality of nucleotide structures based on a second set of testing conditions comprising a second surface area material, a second surface area pattern, a second surface area size, or a combination thereof and a target population of nucleotide structures among the plurality of nucleotide structures are identified.
