Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid and high sensitive molecular biosensor and a method of single-molecule detection of DNA or protein using the molecular biosensor. The molecular biosensor disclosed herein comprises: a) at least a single-walled carbon nanotube transistor device, wherein, the single-walled carbon nanotube transistor device comprises a grid electrode, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a conducting channel, the conducting channel is a single-walled carbon nanotube which is cut into two sections to form two single-walled carbon nanotubes with a gap of 1-10 nm; and b) an aptamer, wherein, the terminals of the aptamer are modified by terminal amino groups, and the aptamer is connected with the two ends of the carbon nanotubes forming the gap through an amide bond. The method is a reliable and practical method with general applicability. According to the method, nano/molecular electronics and the biosystem are combined, and the direct and real-time detection of the activities of DNA or protein with single-minded selectivity and ultrahigh sensitivity is realized by using functionalized mono-molecular devices and electric signal measurement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fast and highly sensitive molecular biosensor and a method for direct and real-time single-molecule detection of DNA or protein. Background technique [0002] Establishing a practical platform for direct detection of biological and chemical activities at the single-molecule level is one of the common goals of industry and scientific research, because it is important for a series of applications such as environmental monitoring, industrial quality control, and clinical diagnosis. significance. In order to reliably detect DNA-protein interactions, a variety of direct and labeled techniques have been developed such as: ELISA, surface plasmon resonance, electrochemistry, scanning probe microscopy, nanoparticles, microcantilever , carbon nanotubes, impedance, nanowires, etc. However, many existing methods are difficult to perform real-time detection or kinetic analysis. Some methods face high technical requirements, while others...
