Abstract
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a critical biomarker for inflammation and postoperative recovery monitoring. Organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) plays a key role in CRP detection, however, with a limited sensitivity in physiological environment due to inefficient charge transfer within the Debye length. Here, we introduce rosuvastatin (RSV) drug as a novel recognition element for CRP detection in OECT biosensors. The grafted RSV molecules can inherently interact with CRP through electrostatic bonding interaction, contributing to a direct charge transfer between the captured CRP and the device within the Debye length limitation. Following this, the OECT biosensor exhibits a broad range (10−10 to 10−4 g/mL) for CRP quantification, with a short response time of 2 min. Moreover, the devices can realize selective CRP recognition in serum, demonstrating the great potential of drug receptors in electronic biosensor functionalization. This strategy paves a new way for developing ultrasensitive OECT biosensors towards accurate and reliable in-situ biomarker monitoring for convenient disease diagnose.
期刊介绍:
Biosensors & Bioelectronics, along with its open access companion journal Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X, is the leading international publication in the field of biosensors and bioelectronics. It covers research, design, development, and application of biosensors, which are analytical devices incorporating biological materials with physicochemical transducers. These devices, including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, and lab-on-a-chip, produce digital signals proportional to specific analytes. Examples include immunosensors and enzyme-based biosensors, applied in various fields such as medicine, environmental monitoring, and food industry. The journal also focuses on molecular and supramolecular structures for enhancing device performance.
