Microcantilever biosensors based on conformational change of proteins.
Microcantilevers (MCLs) hold a position as a cost-effective and highly sensitive sensor platform for medical diagnostics, environmental analysis and fast throughput analysis. MCLs are unique in that adsorption of analytes on the microcantilever (MCL) surface changes the surface characteristics of the MCL and results in bending of the MCL. Surface stress due to conformation change of proteins an...
متن کاملMagnetostrictive Microcantilever as an Advanced Transducer for Biosensors
The magnetostrictive microcantilever (MSMC) as a high-performance transducer was introduced for the development of biosensors. The principle and characterization of MSMC are presented. The MSMC is wireless and can be easily actuated and sensed using magnetic field/signal. More importantly, the MSMC exhibits a high Q value and works well in liquid. The resonance behavior of MSMC is characterized...
متن کاملDesign and optimization of genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors: GTPase biosensors.
This chapter details the design and optimization of biosensors based on a design used successfully to study nucleotide loading of small GTPase proteins in living cells. This design can be generalized to study many other protein activities, using a single, genetically encoded chain incorporating the protein to be studied, an "affinity reagent" which binds only to the activated form of the target...
متن کاملSimulation and design of piezoelectric microcantilever chemical sensors
This paper presents an analytical modeling of a piezoelectric multi-layer cantilever used as a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) chemical sensor. Selectively coated microcantilevers have been developed for highly sensitive chemical sensor applications. The proposed piezoelectric chemical sensor consists of an array of multi-layer piezoelectric cantilevers with voltage output in the millivo...
