Protein Recognition via Surface Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanowires
Analytical Chemistry, 2005In this paper, we present a technique for the preparation of polymer nanowires with the protein molecule imprinted and binding sites at surface. These surface imprinting nanowires exhibit highly selective recognition for a variety of template proteins, including albumin, hemoglobin, and cytochrome c.

Electron microscopy imaging of proteins on gallium phosphide semiconductor nanowires
Nanoscale, 2016We have imaged GaP nanowires (NWs) incubated with human laminin, serum albumin (HSA), and blood plasma using both cryo-transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron based X-ray photoemission electron microscopy. This extensive imaging methodology simultaneously reveals structural, chemical and morphological details of individual nanowires and the ...

Nanopillars, Nanowires and Nanoballs for DNA and Protein Analysis
2016Recent development of nanofluidic devices using nanopillars, nanowires, and nanoballs for high-performance biomolecules analysis are reviewed in this chapter. Two approaches, “top-down” fabrication techniques and “bottom-up” self-assemble techniques, were applied to construct nanospace inside microchannels, and various biomolecules including DNA, RNA ...

Proteins and Peptides as Biological Nanowires: Towards Biosensing Devices
2013The current landscape of nanotechnology is such that attention is being given to those materials that self-assemble, as a mode of "bottom-up" fabrication of nanomaterials. The field of nanotubes and nanowires has long been dominated by carbon nanotubes and inorganic materials.

Vertical nanowire arrays as a versatile platform for protein detection and analysis
Nanoscale, 2013Protein microarrays are valuable tools for protein assays. Reducing spot sizes from micro- to nano-scale facilitates miniaturization of platforms and consequently decreased material consumption, but faces inherent challenges in the reduction of fluorescent signals and compatibility with complex solutions. Here we show that vertical arrays of nanowires (

Decorating the Outer Surface of Microbially Produced Protein Nanowires with Peptides
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2019The potential applications of electrically conductive protein nanowires (e-PNs) harvested from Geobacter sulfurreducens might be greatly expanded if the outer surface of the wires could be modified to confer novel sensing capabilities or to enhance binding to other materials. We developed a simple strategy for functionalizing e-PNs with surface-exposed

SOI-nanowire biosensor for detection of D-NFATc1 protein
Biochemistry (Moscow) Supplement Series B: Biomedical Chemistry, 2014The nanowire (NW) detection is one of the fast-acting and high-sensitive methods, which can recognize potentially relevant protein molecules. A NW-biosensor based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-structures has been used for biospecific label-free real time detection of the NFATc1 (D-NFATc1) oncomarker.
