Ravariu C. From Enzymatic Dopamine Biosensors to OECT Biosensors of Dopamine. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:806. [PMID: 37622892 PMCID: PMC10452593 DOI: 10.3390/bios13080806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Neurotransmitters are an important category of substances used inside the nervous system, whose detection with biosensors has been seriously addressed in the last decades. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter from the catecholamine family, was recently discovered to have implications for cardiac arrest or muscle contractions. In addition to having many other neuro-psychiatric implications, dopamine can be detected in blood, urine, and sweat. This review highlights the importance of biosensors as influential tools for dopamine recognition. The first part of this article is related to an introduction to biosensors for neurotransmitters, with a focus on dopamine. The regular methods in their detection are expensive and require high expertise personnel. A major direction of evolution of these biosensors has expanded with the integration of active biological materials suitable for molecular recognition near electronic devices. Secondly, for dopamine in particular, the miniaturized biosensors offer excellent sensitivity and specificity and offer cheaper detection than conventional spectrometry, while their linear detection ranges from the last years fall exactly on the clinical intervals. Thirdly, the applications of novel nanomaterials and biomaterials to these biosensors are discussed. Older generations, metabolism-based or enzymatic biosensors, could not detect concentrations below the micro-molar range. But new generations of biosensors combine aptamer receptors and organic electrochemical transistors, OECTs, as transducers. They have pushed the detection limit to the pico-molar and even femto-molar ranges, which fully correspond to the usual ranges of clinical detection of human dopamine in body humors that cover 0.1 ÷ 10 nM. In addition, if ten years ago the use of natural dopamine receptors on cell membranes seemed impossible for biosensors, the actual technology allows co-integrate transistors and vesicles with natural receptors of dopamine, like G protein-coupled receptors. The technology is still complicated, but the uni-molecular detection selectivity is promising.

Abstract
Microorganisms have gained defense systems during the lengthy process of evolution over millions of years. Such defense systems can protect them from being attacked by invading species (e.g., CRISPR-Cas for establishing adaptive immune systems and nanopore-forming toxins as virulence factors) or enable them to adapt to different conditions (e.g., gas vesicles for achieving buoyancy control). These microorganism defense systems (MDS) have inspired the development of biosensors that have received much attention in a wide range of fields including life science research, food safety, and medical diagnosis. This Review comprehensively analyzes biosensing platforms originating from MDS for sensing and imaging biological analytes. We first describe a basic overview of MDS and MDS-inspired biosensing platforms (e.g., CRISPR-Cas systems, nanopore-forming proteins, and gas vesicles), followed by a critical discussion of their functions and properties. We then discuss several transduction mechanisms (optical, acoustic, magnetic, and electrical) involved in MDS-inspired biosensing. We further detail the applications of the MDS-inspired biosensors to detect a variety of analytes (nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, pathogens, cells, small molecules, and metal ions). In the end, we propose the key challenges and future perspectives in seeking new and improved MDS tools that can potentially lead to breakthrough discoveries in developing a new generation of biosensors with a combination of low cost; high sensitivity, accuracy, and precision; and fast detection. Overall, this Review gives a historical review of MDS, elucidates the principles of emulating MDS to develop biosensors, and analyzes the recent advancements, current challenges, and future trends in this field. It provides a unique critical analysis of emulating MDS to develop robust biosensors and discusses the design of such biosensors using elements found in MDS, showing that emulating MDS is a promising approach to conceptually advancing the design of biosensors.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor biosensors (Bio-FET) have attracted great interest in recent years owing to their distinctive properties like high sensitivity, good selectivity, and easy integration into portable and wearable electronic devices. Bio-FET performance mainly relies on the constituent components such as the bio-recognition layer and the transducer, which ensures device stability, sensitivity, and lifetime. Nanomaterial-based Bio-FETs are excellent candidates for biosensing applications. This review discusses the basic concepts, function, and working principles of Bio-FETs, and focuses on the progress of recent research in Bio-FETs in the sensing of neurotransmitters, glucose, nucleic acids, proteins, viruses, and cancer biomarkers using nanomaterials. Finally, challenges in the development of Bio-FETs, as well as an outlook on the prospects of nano Bio-FET-based sensing in various fields, are discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel field-effect transistor (FET) using graphene, which is a two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, capable of evaluating water quality, and immobilizing the surface of a graphene micropatterned transistor with a highly responsive bioprobe for a water contamination indicator, geosmin, with high selectivity. A high-quality bioprobe-immobilized graphene FET (GFET) was fabricated for the real-time monitoring of geosmin using a liquid-gate measurement configuration. Immobilization was confirmed by measuring the change in the electrical characteristics of the platform (slope of the current-voltage (I-V) curve) and fluorescence images. In addition, a selectivity test showed remarkable implementation of the highly sensitive sensing platform with an insignificant signal when a nontarget was added. Using the fabricated device, the linear range for geosmin detection was determined to be from 0.01 nM - 1 μM with a detection limit of 0.01 nM. In addition, geosmin concentrations as low as 10 nM could be determined from river water samples with the sensor platform. This sensor can be utilized to immediately determine the presence of odorous substances by analyzing a water supply source without additional pretreatment. Another advantage is that the sensor device is a promising tool that does not have special equipment that requirs careful maintenance. In addition, the device provides a new platform for detecting harmful substances in various water sources by varying the bioprobes that are empolyed.

High-performance portable graphene field-effect transistor device for detecting Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 167:112514.

Abstract
Current techniques for Gram-typing and for diagnosing a pathogen at the early infection stage rely on Gram stains, cultures, Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and gene microarrays, which are labor-intensive and time-consuming approaches. In addition, a delayed or imprecise diagnosis of clinical pathogenic bacteria leads to a life-threatening emergency or overuse of antibiotics and a high-rate occurrence of antimicrobial-resistance microbes. Herein, we report high-performance antibiotics (as bioprobes) conjugated graphene micropattern field-effect transistors (ABX-GMFETs) to facilitate on-site Gram-typing and help in the detection of the presence or absence of Gram-negative and -positive bacteria in the samples. The ABX-GMFET platform, which consists of recognition probes and GM transistors conjugated with novel interfacing chemical compounds, was integrated into the microfluidics to minimize the required human intervention and facilitate automation. The mechanism of binding of ABX-GMFET was based on a charge or chemical moiety interaction between the bioprobes and target bacteria. Subsequently, ABX-GMFETs exhibited unprecedented high sensitivity with a limit of detection (LOD) of 100 CFU/mL (1-9 CFU/mL), real-time target specificity.

Abstract
A bioelectronic nose device based on micelle-stabilized olfactory receptors is developed for the selective discrimination of a butter flavor substance in commercial fermented alcoholic beverages. In this work, we have successfully overexpressed ODR-10, a type of olfactory receptor, from Caenorhabditis elegans using a bacterial expression system at a low cost and high productivity. The highly-purified ODR-10 was stabilized in micelle structures, and it was immobilized on a carbon nanotube field-effect transistor to build a bioelectronic nose for the detection of diacetyl, a butter flavor substance, via the specific interaction between diacetyl and ODR-10. The bioelectronic nose device can sensitively detect diacetyl down to 10 fM, and selectively discriminate it from other substances. In addition, this sensor could directly evaluate diacetyl levels in a variety of real fermented alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and makgeolli (fermented Korean wine), while the sensor did not respond to soju (Korean style liquor without diacetyl). In this respect, our sensor should be a powerful tool for versatile food industrial applications such as the quality control of alcoholic beverages and foods.

High-Performance Conducting Polymer Nanotube-based Liquid-Ion Gated Field-Effect Transistor Aptasensor for Dopamine Exocytosis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:3772.

Abstract
In this study, ultrasensitive and precise detection of a representative brain hormone, dopamine (DA), was demonstrated using functional conducting polymer nanotubes modified with aptamers. A high-performance aptasensor was composed of interdigitated microelectrodes (IMEs), carboxylated polypyrrole nanotubes (CPNTs) and DA-specific aptamers. The biosensors were constructed by sequential conjugation of CPNTs and aptamer molecules on the IMEs, and the substrate was integrated into a liquid-ion gating system surrounded by pH 7.4 buffer as an electrolyte. To confirm DA exocytosis based on aptasensors, DA sensitivity and selectivity were monitored using liquid-ion gated field-effect transistors (FETs). The minimum detection level (MDL; 100 pM) of the aptasensors was determined, and their MDL was optimized by controlling the diameter of the CPNTs owing to their different capacities for aptamer introduction. The MDL of CPNT aptasensors is sufficient for discriminating between healthy and unhealthy individuals because the total DA concentration in the blood of normal person is generally determined to be ca. 0.5 to 6.2 ng/mL (3.9 to 40.5 nM) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (this information was obtained from a guidebook “Evidence-Based Medicine 2018 SCL “ which was published by Seoul Clinical Laboratory). The CPNTs with the smaller diameters (CPNT2: ca. 120 nm) showed 100 times higher sensitivity and selectivity than the wider CPNTs (CPNT1: ca. 200 nm). Moreover, the aptasensors based on CPNTs had excellent DA discrimination in the presence of various neurotransmitters. Based on the excellent sensing properties of these aptasensors, the DA levels of exogeneous DA samples that were prepared from PC12 cells by a DA release assay were successfully measured by DA kits, and the aptasensor sensing properties were compared to those of standard DA reagents. Finally, the real-time response values to the various exogeneous DA release levels were similar to those of a standard DA aptasensor. Therefore, CPNT-based aptasensors provide efficient and rapid DA screening for neuron-mediated genetic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract
Field-effect transistor (FET) devices based on conductive nanomaterials have been used to develop biosensors. However, development of FET-based biosensors that allow efficient stability, especially in the gas phase, for obtaining reliable and reproducible responses remains a challenge. In this study, we developed a nanodisc (ND)-functionalized bioelectronic nose (NBN) based on a nickel (Ni)-decorated carboxylated polypyrrole nanoparticle (cPPyNP)-FET that offers the detection of liquid and gaseous cadaverine (CV). The TAAR13c, specifically binding to CV, which is an indicator of food spoilage, was successfully constructed in NDs. The NBN was fabricated by the oriented assembly of TAAR13c-embedded NDs (T13NDs) onto the transistor with Ni/cPPyNPs. The NBN showed high performance in selectivity and sensitivity for the detection of CV, with excellent stability in both aqueous and gas phases. Moreover, the NBN allowed efficient measurement of corrupted real-food samples. It demonstrates the ND-based device can allow the practical biosensor that provides high stability in the gas phase.

Abstract
The measurement of ultralow concentrations of heavy metal ions (HMIs) in blood is challenging. A new strategy for the determination of mercury ions (Hg2+ ) based on an oriented ZnO nanobelt (ZnO-NB) film solution-gated field-effect transistor (FET) chip is adopted. The FET chips are fabricated with ZnO-NB film channels with different orientations utilizing the Langmuir-Blodgett (L-B) assembly technique. The combined simulation and I-V behavior results show that the nanodevice with ZnO-NBs parallel to the channel has exceptional performance. The sensing capability of the oriented ZnO-NB film FET chips corresponds to an ultralow minimum detectable level (MDL) of 100 × 10-12 m in deionized water due to the change in the electrical double layer (EDL) arising from the synergism of the field-induced effect and the specific binding of Hg2+ to the thiol groups (-SH) on the film surface. Moreover, the prepared FET chips present excellent selectivity toward Hg2+ , excellent repeatability, and a rapid response time (less than 1 s) for various Hg2+ concentrations. The sensing performance corresponds to a low MDL of 10 × 10-9 m in real samples of a drop of blood.

Abstract
We report a strategy for the human-like smelling of a rose scent utilizing olfactory receptor nanodisc (ND)-based bioelectronic nose devices. In this strategy, a floating electrode (FE)-based carbon nanotube (CNT) field effect transistor (FET) was functionalized with human olfactory receptor 1A2 (hOR1A2)-embedded NDs (hOR1A2NDs). The hOR1A2NDs responded to rose scent molecules specifically, which were monitored electrically using the underlying CNT-FET. This strategy allowed us to quantitatively assess the contents of geraniol and citronellol, the main components of a rose scent, as low as 1 fM and 10 fM, respectively. In addition, it enabled us to selectively discriminate a specific rose odorant from other odorants. Significantly, we also demonstrated that the responses of hOR1A2NDs to a rose scent could be strongly enhanced by enhancer materials like a human nose. Furthermore, the method provided a means to quantitatively evaluate rose scent components in real samples such as rose oil. Since our method allows one to quantitatively evaluate general rose scent ingredients just like a human nose, it could be a powerful strategy for versatile basic research and various applications such as fragrance development.

Study on the Sensing Signal Profiles for Determination of Process Window of Flexible Sensors Based on Surface Treated PDMS/CNT Composite Patches. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:polym10090951. [PMID: 30960876 PMCID: PMC6403834 DOI: 10.3390/polym10090951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2018] [Revised: 08/17/2018] [Accepted: 08/24/2018] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
In this study, analysis of sensing signal profiles was conducted focusing on the close relationship between electrical conductivity and signal intensity in surface treated poly(dimethylsiloxane)/carbon nanotube (PDMS/CNT) composite patches for the purpose of their practical application as flexible chemical sensors. The flexible PDMS/CNT composite patches were prepared from a PDMS/CNT mixture with a two-roll apparatus. It was found that the PDMS/CNT pads showed a high electrical conductivity (10−1 S/m) even at low CNT loading (0.6 wt %) and a contact angle range of 105–118°. The surface of the obtained PDMS/CNT composite patches was treated using a simple bio-conjugation method to incorporate beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) molecules onto the surface as a sensing medium, in order to detect a model compound (Methyl Paraben, MePRB). FT-IR spectra indicated that beta-cyclodextrin molecules were effectively introduced on the surface of the PDMS/CNT patches. It was shown that the sensor signal intensity was substantially dependent on the base current value, which increased with increasing CNT loading. Accordingly, the base current value was intimately associated with the electrical conductivity of the composite patches. On the other hand, the increase in current over the base current (ΔI/I0) obtained after the addition of the model compound was inversely proportional to the CNT content. In this way, analysis on the sensing signal profiles of the flexible chemical sensor system was conducted to determine a process window. This study is a very useful springboard for future research activities, as more profound studies are necessary to fully understand sensing signal profiles.

Abstract
Olfactory receptor (OR)-based bioelectronic nose is a new type of bio-affinity sensor applied for detecting numerous odorant molecules. In order to elucidate the effect of the adsorption of nanomaterial carriers on the receptor structure and its selectivity to odors, we used a systematic computation-scheme to study two OR models immobilized onto carbon nanotube. Our result indicates that there is a multistep OR-adsorption process driven by hydrophobic interaction. Many allosteric communication pathways exist between the absorbed residues and the pocket ones, leading to a significant shrinkage of the pocket. Consequently, the size-selectivity of the receptor to the odors is changed to some extent. But, the odor size and its hydrophobicity, rather than specific functional groups of the odor, still play a determinant role in binding OR, at least for the 132 odors under study. Regardless of the limitation for the odor size in initial recognition, the different-size odors could induce significant changes in the pocket conformation so that it could better match the pocket space, indicating the importance of the ligand-fit binding. Due to the CNT-induced shrinkage of the pocket, the CNT immobilization could increase the binding affinity through enhancing van der Waals interaction, in particular for the large odors.

Abstract
Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors are used extensively in ultra-sensitive biomolecule sensing applications. Along with high sensitivity, the possibility of regeneration is highly desired in bio-sensors. An important constituent of such bio-sensing systems is the buffer used to maintain pH and provide an ionic conducting medium, among its other properties. In this work, we demonstrate highly-sensitive regenerative dopamine sensors and the impact of varying buffer composition and type on the electrolyte gated field effect sensors. The role of the buffer system is an often ignored condition in the electrical characterization of sensors. Non-enzymatic dopamine sensors are fabricated and regenerated in hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. The sensors are finally measured against four different buffer solutions. The impact of the nature and chemical structure of buffer molecules on the dopamine sensors is shown, and the appropriate buffer systems are demonstrated.

Abstract
Olfactory receptors (ORs) are the largest family of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are significantly involved in many human diseases and 40% of all drug targets. A platform containing stable and high-quality OR would be a powerful tool for the development of a practical biosensor that can be applied to various applications, such as the early diagnosis of diseases, assessment of food quality, and drug and fragrance development. Significant efforts have been made to develop the biosensor using GPCRs; nevertheless, they remain a challenge. This chapter describes an attractive methodology for the development of a stable bioelectronic nose using OR-embedded nanodiscs. The ORs were produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli), purified with column chromatography, reconstituted into nanodiscs and applied to a carbon nanotube-field effect transistor (CNT-FET) with floating electrodes. The nanodisc-based bioelectronic nose exhibits high-performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and stability. This strategy can be used as a practical method for the receptor-based sensing approach, which represents significant progress in nano-bio technology toward a practical biosensor.
