T1 - Capacitive creatinine sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymer T2 - Electroanalysis N2 - The first reversible chemosensor to creatinine based on artificial chemoreceptors is described. The receptor layer was prepared by molecularly imprinted photopolymerization of acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid and methylenediacrylamide. The polymer layer was grafted onto the surface of gold electrodes coated with an alkanethiol monolayer. Creatinine binding was detected by a decrease in the electrode capacitance. The sensor response is reversible and highly selective: no response to addition of sodium chloride, creatine, urea or glucose were observed. The detection limit for creatinine is 10 μM which is optimal for medical applications.

T1 - Self-assembled monolayers as selective filters for chemical sensors T2 - Nanotechnology N2 - The lateral electrical conductivity of gold layers with thickness in the nanometre range was found to decrease due to adsorption of mercury, water, iodine and sulphuric compounds onto the gold surface. A self-assembled monolayer of hexadecanethiol, deposited on the gold surface, blocked the effects of water and volatile sulphuric compounds on the lateral conductivity of the gold layers, but does not block the effects of iodine and mercury. The results indicate a selective permeability of hexadecanethiol monolayers for mercury vapour, thus providing a method for development of ultrathin filters for chemical sensors.

Th conjugate combines the molecular recognition properties of the oligonucleotides with the near-IR fluorescence label PR646. Both single- and dual- labeled conjugates were studied for their hybridization with the complementary nucleic acid. The dual labeled conjugate has indicated that the self-quenching effect exists in ssDNA form while the fluorescence increases greatly after hybridization with the complementary nucleic acids. The time-resolved fluorescence was also studied.

T1 - Capacitive approach to determine phospholipase A2 activity towards artificial and natural substrates T2 - Analytical Chemistry N2 - A capacitive approach has been employed to develop a novel method to determine phospholipase activity. The sensing electrodes have a structure like Au/S(CH₂)₁₇CH₃/substrate/electrolyte. Hydrolysis of the substrate, mediated by phospholipase A₂, leads to the formation of water-soluble products from the insoluble substrate. This results in desorption of these products into aqueous phase and corresponding increase of the electrode capacitance. The requirement of high water solubility of the reaction products can be achieved in two ways. In the first, short-chain phospholipids are used as the substrate, in which case, water-soluble products are formed and no additional reagents are required to promote desorption of these products. The sensors prepared by this strategy provide sensitive qualitative detection of phospholipases. The second way is based on the use of a water-soluble acceptor (for example, β-cyclodextrin) to solubilize the products of hydrolysis. It allows semiquantitative detection of phospholipase activity toward long-chain natural substrates. The reaction kinetics for this case was found to be monoexponential and linearly dependent on the phospholipase concentration. The detection limit of this method, as tested with phospholipase A₂ from bee venom and soy bean lecithin as the substrate, is ∼0.5 ng/mL (500 μunits/mL).

T1 - Capacitive monitoring of protein immobilization and antigen-antibody reaction on the monomolecular films of alkylthiols adsorbed on gold electrodes T2 - Biosensors and Bioelectronics N2 - Self-assembled monolayers of omega-mercaptohexadecanoic acid and omega-mercaptohexadecylamine on gold electrodes are stable at neutral pH and display pure capacitive behavior at frequencies around 20 Hz. Different methods of covalent immobilization of proteins on these monolayers are compared. Various reagents including succinimides, thionylchloride, p-nitrophenol and carbodiimides were used to activate the carboxy groups of the adsorbed monolayer of omega-mercaptohexadecanoic acid. Glutaraldehyde, cyanuric chloride and phenylene diisocyanate were used to activate the amino groups of the monolayer of omega-mercaptohexadecylamine. The immobilization of albumin on the activated surface was studied by capacitive measurements. The N-hydroxysuccinimide and carbodiimide methods were identified as most suitable for protein immobilization in that they did not compromise the insulating properties of the alkylthiol layer and led to maximal increase of its dielectric thickness. These approaches were used for a layer-by-layer preparation of a capacitive immunosensor. Specifically, antibodies to human serum albumin were immobilized on the alkylthiol mono-layer. Binding of the antigen led to a decrease of the electrode capacitance. The detection limit of the immunosensor is as low as 15 nM (1 mg/l).
