Recently, aptamers have been considered in cancer diagnosis and treatment applications by binding to various bioreceptor molecules. Given that the p53 protein is responsible for approximately 50% of cancers, its identification is promising, but so far, no aptamer DNA sequence has been designed for the p53 protein and aptamer-based sensor. The purpose of this invention is to develop a nanoparticle-based aptamer sensor and use the p53 bioreceptor for cancer diagnosis with high sensitivity in the shortest time. In this regard, a DNA aptamer-based sensor was used on a glassy carbon electrode coated with gold nanoparticles / graphene oxide / conductive polymer . This sensor was created by the gold nanoparticles / aptamer-toluidine blue enhancer. The results obtained under optimal conditions of electrochemical investigation using amperometry indicated a detection limit of 0.29 picograms / mL in phosphate buffer and 0.341 picograms / mL in human blood plasma and a linear range of 1 to 300 picograms / mL for the sensor. This invention demonstrates the excellent and controllable performance of a modified carbon electrode to create a suitable sensor for detecting the cancer marker p53 protein.

A voice coil motor (VCM) in a hard disk drive having a VCM resistance is driven based on a value of the back electromotive force (BEMF) of the VCM reconstructed from a voltage drop indicative of the intensity of a current flowing towards the VCM detected by an amperometry resistance. The BEMF of the VCM is reconstructed as a function of the voltage drop via a first gain value, determined as the ratio of the VCM resistance to the amperometry resistance. A calibrated gain value, indicative of the ratio of the actual VCM resistance to the amperometry resistance is produced by applying a correction factor to the first gain value. The VCM is driven continuously based on a value of the BEMF of the VCM reconstructed by applying to the voltage drop the calibrated gain value.
