Recent advances in self-assembled monolayers based biomolecular electronic devices.
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have aroused much interest due to their potential applications in biosensors, biomolecular electronics and nanotechnology. This has been largely attributed to their inherent ordered arrangement and controllable properties. SAMs can be formed by chemisorption of organic molecules containing groups like thiols, disulphides, amines, acids or silanes, on desired surfaces and can be used to fabricate biomolecular electronic devices. We focus on recent applications of organosulphur compounds (thiols) based SAMs to biomolecular electronic devices in the last about 3 years.
