Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transistor and a biosensor using the same and, more particularly, to an olfactory receptor-functionalized transistor useful for a highly selective bioelectronic nose, and a biosensor using the same.
- Electrode refers to a system which may reproduce a human nose using sensor arrays and pattern recognition systems.
- the capabilities of the electronic noses thus developed are still inferior to thoseof the human olfactory system in terms of specificity.
- the initial step is to bind specific odorants to the olfactory receptor protein which triggers signal transduction in a cell.
- Olfactory receptors expressed in the cell membranes of olfactory receptor neurons are responsible for the detection of odorant molecules. That is, when the odorants bind to the olfactory receptors as described above, the receptors are activated.

- the source-drain current was sharply decreased by the addition of amyl butyrate (AB), an odorant known to activate the hOR2AG1, and then gradually saturated at lower values.
- amyl butyrate (AB) induced the binding of amyl butyrate (AB) to the reactive domain of hOR2AG1, causing a gradual saturation.
- the detection of solutions at 100 fM was enabled, meaning that at least 10-fold sensitivity was achieved compared to conventional bioelectronic nose systems using various transducers.
- BB butyl butyrate
- PB propyl butyrate
- PV pentyl valerate
- Amyl butyrate was introduced on modified carbon nanotube transistors with lipid membranes in which hOR2AG1 was not included (identical to those manufactured in Example 2 except that lipid membranes were formed but do not have hOR2AG1) and bare carbon nanotube transistors (identical to those manufactured in Example 2 except that lipid membranes having hOR2AG1 were not formed) to measure each of the conductance modulations.
