Electronic Aptamer-based Biosensor for Multiprotein Analytes on a Single Paltform
We describe an approach to the development of a new electronic aptamer-based biosensor for multiprotein targets on a single platform. The multiple protein biosensing involves the co-adsorption of several thiol-terminated capture DNA sequences on a gold surface, along with the hybridization of redox-tagged aptamer to each corresponding capture sequences on the electrode, addition of target proteins, and monitoring aptamer-strand release through electrochemical measurement.
