Peptide nucleic acid stabilized perovskite nanoparticles for nucleic acid sensing

Materials Today Chemistry, 2020
Abstract Nanostructural hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites offer a wide range of potential applications including photovoltaics, solar cells, and light emitting diodes. Up to now the surface stabilizing ligands were used solely to obtain the optimal properties of nanoparticles in terms of dimensionality and stability, however their ...

A Peptide Nucleic Acid‐Functionalized Heterojunction Thin Film Transistor as a Scalable and Reusable Platform for Label‐Free Detection of MicroRNA

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A miniaturized, label‐free, and enzyme‐free biosensor (miR‐TFT) enables direct electrical detection of microRNA (miRNA) with single‐nucleotide specificity and a detection limit of 0.6 fM. Built on a tri‐channel In2O3/ZnO heterojunction and functionalized with bespoke peptide nucleic acid (PNA) probes, the device is robust, reusable, and compatible with
