Recognition behavior of chiral nanocomposites toward biomolecules and its application in electrochemical immunoassay

摘要

The novel nanocomposites were obtained by covalently linking arginine enantiomers with the sidewall of multi-walled carbon nanotubes,and utilized as sensing materials for biomolecular recognition in electrochemical immunoassay.They were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD).Nano-gold and Prussian Blue were employed to amplify the analytical signal responses.Prostate specific antibody/antigen and carcinoembryonic antibody/antigen were used as model systems.The results showed that the different configurations of nanocomposites could readily facilitate chiral recognition of antibodies,and D-nanocomposites displayed a larger signal.
