A potentiometric protein sensor built with surface molecular imprinting method.
Surface molecular imprinting, as compared to molecular imprinted bulk polymers, has the advantages of higher re-occupation percentage of the reception sites, fast response, integration of sensing element and transducer, etc. In this study, a potentiometric protein sensor was developed based on the surface molecular imprinting technique. Using the self-assembled monolayers of alkanethiol with hydroxyl terminal groups as the matrix material, and target protein molecules as the template, the sensing layer was created on the surface of the gold-coated silicon chip-an electrochemical transducer. Potentiometric measurement demonstrated that the sensor could selectively detect myoglobin or hemoglobin molecules, either with or without the presence of other protein molecules in the same solution.
