Description

Biochemical molecule detection method based on quantum capacitance effect of conductive composite material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of molecular sensors, in particular to a biochemical molecular detection method based on a quantum capacitance effect of a conductive composite material.
Background
Biochemical molecular sensing technology plays an important role in the fields of biological medicine, environmental monitoring, clinical treatment, chemical industry and the like. The two-dimensional conductive material has excellent sensing sensitivity due to excellent electrical property, unique two-dimensional structure and good chemical inertness, and has great potential in the technical field of molecular sensing.
Quantum capacitance detection is used as a high-sensitivity detection mechanism, has unique advantages in detection application of target molecules in medical treatment and environment, and the sensing principle is based on detection of charges of target biochemical molecules. The quantum capacitance change signal reflects the significant change in energy state density caused by the field effect when charged biochemical molecules are adsorbed on the graphene surface. The biochemical molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the graphene quickly, and meanwhile, the electric signal detection has real-time property, so that the detection time is short, and the online quick detection can be realized. In the solid material, the two-dimensional material such as graphene is unique in that all atoms are positioned on the surface, so that the surface and the energy state density of the surface are extremely sensitive to environmental changes, the detection sensitivity is high, and trace detection can be realized. In 2009, graphene quantum capacitance detection is realized through ionic liquid, and so far, gas detection, pH value in solution, glucose detection and the like based on the graphene quantum capacitance have been realized. However, due to the current preparation and transfer technology of large-area two-dimensional materials still being immature, it is still difficult to obtain a highly stable and uniform two-dimensional substrate. In fact, current biochemical sensors based on conductive two-dimensional materials are mostly limited to laboratory testing. By compounding the conductive two-dimensional material with other materials, it would be one way to solve the above problems to obtain an inexpensive, stable multilayer composite material that can be free-standing in the macroscopic dimension (micrometer-scale thickness).
In general, sensing occurs only in a few layers of the surface nanolayers of the material, whereas the composite itself has a thickness on the order of microns, making the resistance change caused by biochemical molecular adsorption more difficult to detect. In fact, the maximum value of the thickness of the materials used for the gas and ion sensors reported today is only 15nm. Therefore, it is necessary to explore a biochemical molecular detection method of a conductive composite material with a macroscopic dimension of a micrometer-scale thickness. The conductive composite material is expected to be used for biochemical sensing of the surfaces of ceramic teeth, bones or other ceramic or polymer material products, and promotes the intelligent application of the products.

Suitable two-dimensional conductive materials include, but are not limited to, graphene and its derivatives, single or multi-layer transition metal sulfides, two-dimensional nanostructured perovskites, graphite alkynes, metal nanoplatelets, and the like.
Generally, the matrix material is inexpensive, stable, and easy to prepare.

Materials for the liquid tank include, but are not limited to, insulators such as non-toxic epoxy, silicone, and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the material encapsulating the liquid tank is a biocompatible silicone.
The detection method comprises the following steps:
quantum capacitance testing methods include, but are not limited to, current-frequency curve measurement and CV curve measurement of the sensing device.
The frequency range of the applied varying alternating potential may be 1mHz to 10mHz when the current-frequency curve measurement is performed. The amplitude of the applied ac potential is typically in the form of a sine wave, which may be from 1mV to 100mV, preferably 7.07mV. The DC potential may be set to-10V to 10V, and in a preferred embodiment 0V.
In performing the CV curve measurement, the frequency range of the applied constant ac potential may be determined by judging the linear portion of the current-frequency relationship curve, or the like, and the amplitude thereof may be 1mV to 100mV, preferably 7.07mV. The applied DC potential may vary from-10V to 10V, and in a preferred embodiment from-1V to 1V. The current-gate voltage dependence is converted into a capacitance-gate voltage dependence according to the current-capacitance relationship, i.e., c=i/2pi fV.
Detection of biochemical molecules:
in one embodiment, the method is a method for sensing biochemical molecules. In this embodiment, the working electrode is in contact with a carrier medium that may include the molecule, and the conductive composite is responsive to the presence of the molecule to the quantum capacitance property of the applied potential, a particular quantum capacitance property will be obtained if the carrier medium does contain the molecule. Similarly, as the concentration of molecules in the carrier medium changes, so does the quantum capacitance properties.
The carrier medium is preferably in liquid form, although it may also be a gaseous medium. The carrier liquid (or gas carrier) may be any liquid (or gas) that can suspend or dissolve (or disperse) the substance. In one embodiment, the carrier comprises a pH buffered solution.
The sensing device includes a receptor moiety capable of binding the substance, and the sensing device is sensitive to the binding of the substance to the receptor moiety in response to a quantum capacitance response to an applied potential. Preferably, the receptor moiety is capable of specific binding of the substance. By "capable of specifically binding to the substance" is generally meant that the binding constant for the substance is at least 50 times, preferably at least 100 times, more preferably at least 200 times greater than the binding constant for any other substance present in the carrier medium.
Examples of receptor moieties include antibodies, antibody fragments, nucleic acids, nucleic acid aptamers, oligosaccharides, peptides, and proteins. Preferably, the receptor moiety is selected from antibodies, nucleic acids and peptides. The most preferred receptor moiety is an antibody.
The antibody or antibody fragment may be selected from one or more of the IgA, igD, igE, igG and IgM classes. The antibody selectively binds to a substance of interest. The antibody or antibody fragment may be derived from a mammal, including but not limited to, a mammal selected from the group consisting of human, mouse, rat, rabbit, goat, sheep, and horse. The nucleic acid aptamer may be selected from peptide aptamers, DNA aptamers, and RNA aptamers.
Obviously, the choice of acceptor moiety for a given electrode depends on the identity of the substance of interest (i.e., the "target" of interest). For example, the target may be an alpha synuclein (alpha-sync), in which case the receptor moiety typically comprises or consists of an anti-alpha-synuclein. The target species that the user wishes to detect/sense may or may not be present in the carrier medium, optionally together with one or more other non-target species. Most commonly, the method is a method for determining the concentration of the target species in the carrier medium.
Examples of target species include those selected from one or more markers of CRP protein, insulin, neurodegeneration, cancer, myocardial infarction, diabetes, and general trauma.
More generally, suitable target species for detection according to the methods of the invention include proteins, polypeptides, antibodies, nanoparticles, drugs, toxins, hazardous gases, hazardous chemicals, explosives, viral particles, cells, multicellular organisms, cytokines and chemokines, gametophytes, organelles, lipids, nucleic acid sequences, oligosaccharides, chemical intermediates of metabolic pathways, and macromolecules. In a preferred embodiment, the target species comprises, consists essentially of, or consists entirely of a biochemical molecule, more suitably a biological macromolecule, most suitably a polypeptide. Biomarkers are one example of biochemical molecules of particular interest.

Examples of such environmental parameters include the temperature of the environment, the light intensity of the environment (e.g., the intensity of visible light, or alternatively or additionally the intensity of ultraviolet light), and the humidity of the environment. In such methods, light, temperature or environmental/surface water interactions affect the measured quantum capacitance properties of the sensing device.
