Abstract
Immunosorbent turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) particles displaying the IgG-binding domains D and E of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (PA) on every coat protein (CP) subunit (TVCVPA) were purified from plants via optimized and new protocols. The latter used polyethylene glycol (PEG) raw precipitates, from which virions were selectively re-solubilized in reverse PEG concentration gradients. This procedure improved the integrity of both TVCVPA and the wild-type subgroup 3 tobamovirus. TVCVPA could be loaded with more than 500 IgGs per virion, which mediated the immunocapture of fluorescent dyes, GFP, and active enzymes. Bi-enzyme ensembles of cooperating glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase were tethered together on the TVCVPA carriers via a single antibody type, with one enzyme conjugated chemically to its Fc region, and the other one bound as a target, yielding synthetic multi-enzyme complexes. In microtiter plates, the TVCVPA-displayed sugar-sensing system possessed a considerably increased reusability upon repeated testing, compared to the IgG-bound enzyme pair in the absence of the virus. A high coverage of the viral adapters was also achieved on Ta2O5 sensor chip surfaces coated with a polyelectrolyte interlayer, as a prerequisite for durable TVCVPA-assisted electrochemical biosensing via modularly IgG-assembled sensor enzymes.

Abstract
This work presents a new approach for the development of field-effect biosensors based on an electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor capacitor (EISCAP) modified with a stacked bilayer of weak polyelectrolyte and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles as enzyme nanocarriers. With the aim to increase the surface density of virus particles and thus, to achieve a dense immobilization of enzymes, the negatively charged TMV particles were loaded onto the EISCAP surface modified with a positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) layer. The PAH/TMV bilayer was prepared on the Ta2O5-gate surface by means of layer-by-layer technique. The bare and differently modified EISCAP surfaces were physically characterized by fluorescence microscopy, zeta-potential measurements, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy was used to scrutinize the PAH effect on TMV adsorption in a second system. Finally, a highly sensitive TMV-assisted EISCAP antibiotics biosensor was realized by immobilizing the enzyme penicillinase onto the TMV surface. This PAH/TMV bilayer-modified EISCAP biosensor was electrochemically characterized in solutions with different penicillin concentrations via capacitance-voltage and constant-capacitance methods. The biosensor possessed a mean penicillin sensitivity of 113 mV/dec in a concentration range from 0.1 mM to 5 mM.

Abstract
Utilizing an appropriate enzyme immobilization strategy is crucial for designing enzyme-based biosensors. Plant virus-like particles represent ideal nanoscaffolds for an extremely dense and precise immobilization of enzymes, due to their regular shape, high surface-to-volume ratio and high density of surface binding sites. In the present work, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles were applied for the co-immobilization of penicillinase and urease onto the gate surface of a field-effect electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor capacitor (EISCAP) with a p-Si-SiO2-Ta2O5 layer structure for the sequential detection of penicillin and urea. The TMV-assisted bi-enzyme EISCAP biosensor exhibited a high urea and penicillin sensitivity of 54 and 85 mV/dec, respectively, in the concentration range of 0.1-3 mM. For comparison, the characteristics of single-enzyme EISCAP biosensors modified with TMV particles immobilized with either penicillinase or urease were also investigated. The surface morphology of the TMV-modified Ta2O5-gate was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, the bi-enzyme EISCAP was applied to mimic an XOR (Exclusive OR) enzyme logic gate.
