Science Daily  January 19, 2023 Researchers in Japan designed and developed three new peptides for graphene biosensors that can detect odor molecules to perform two main functions — acting as a biomolecular scaffold for self-assembly on a graphene surface and functioning as a bio-probe to bind the odor molecules. They showed that the peptides uniformly covered the graphene surface with the thickness of a single molecule. When representative odor molecules were injected into the functionalized graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs), graphene conductivity reduced indicating the binding of the odor molecules. The odor molecules gave rise to distinct signatures confirming that the […]
