Download or read book Carbon Nanotube Thin Film Transistors for Biomedical Applications written by Vanessa Velasco and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has captivated the curiosity of today's experts due to the escalating potential in the field of electronic detection of biomolecules. Their extreme environmental sensitivity and small size make them ideal candidates for future biosensing technologies. Recent studies have shown that the binding of receptor proteins (biomolecules located at the membrane of cells) with their corresponding antibodies immobilized on a carbon nanotube surface causes changes in the electrical properties of carbon nanotubes and have been measured with a carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNTFET). This specific molecular interaction and sensitivity is promising for the direct detection of live cells in blood. In this study, a biosensor was developed based on carbon nanotube thin film transistors for the purpose of electrically detecting breast cancer cells (MCF-7) in blood. The electrical response of specific and non-specific interactions between anchored antibodies onto the carbon nanotube film surface and breast cancer cells mixed with blood were monitored and recorded. The electrical measurements indicate that devices functionalized with specific antibodies (anti-IGF1R) experience large conductivity drops (~60 %). However for those device printed with non-specific antibodies (anti-IgG), small changes (~10 %) in conductivity are measured. It is postulated that the addition of increasing number of MCF-7cells mixed with blood on a CNT surface functionalized with specific antibodies (anti-IGF1R) acts as a chemical gate modulating the current flow. Biosensing mechanistic studies using a liquid gated CNTFET, confirmed that the specific antibody-receptor binding can be attributed to electrostatic gating effect by which cancer cells can be screened in blood.

Download or read book Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacological Potential of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes written by Franco Cataldo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-08 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fullerenes and nanotubes are two classes of carbon structures or allotropes, which were discovered about 17 years ago. Since that time, many chemical derivatives have been synthesized using fullerenes and nanotubes as building blocks. Particularly promising was the theory that the chemical properties of fullerenes, and certain derivatives, made them likely candidates for anticancer drugs, inhibitors of viruses such as HIV, or even as anti-bacterials. Their cyctotoxicity can also be controlled by specific circumstances. In addition, the funtionalization of nanotubes has not only produced relatively simple derivatives, but also complex hybrids with biological macromolecules, which show unique supramolecular architecture and which are promising in many medical applications. The application of fullerenes and nanotubes in medicine is at the frontier of our knowledge, thus the work in this field represents the basis for future novel developments.

Download or read book Recognition Receptors in Biosensors written by Mohammed Zourob and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-08 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition receptors play a key role in the successful implementation of chemical and biosensors. Molecular recognition refers to non-covalent speci?c binding between molecules, one of which is typically a macromolecule or a molecular assembly, and the other is the target molecule (ligand or analyte). Biomolecular recognition is typically driven by many weak interactions such as hydrogen bo- ing, metal coordination, hydrophobic forces, van der Waals forces, pi-pi interactions and electrostatic interaction (due to permanent charges, dipoles, and quadrupoles) the polarization of charge distributions by the interaction partner leading to ind- tion and dispersion forces, and Pauli-exclusion-principle-derived inter-atomic repulsion, and a strong, “attractive” force arising largely from the entropy of the solvent and termed the hydrophobic effect. In recent years, there has been much progress in understanding the forces that drive the formation of such complexes, and how these forces are relate to the physical properties of the interacting molecules and their environment allows rational design of molecules and materials that interact in speci?c and desired ways. This book presents a signi?cant and up-to-date review of the various recognition elements, their immobilization, characterization techniques by a panel of dist- guished scientists. This work is a comprehensive approach to the recognition receptors area presenting a thorough knowledge of the subject and an effective integration of these receptors on sensor surfaces in order to appropriately convey the state-of the-art fundamentals and applications of the most innovative approaches.
