Abstract
A novel miniaturized sensor for electrochemical detection that contains graphene- and gold nanoparticles was functionalized with proteins. Using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) it was possible to observe and quantify interactions of molecules with these proteins. The protein binders included carbohydrate ligands as small as carbohydrates up to COVID-19 spike protein variants engaged in protein-protein interactions. The system uses off-the-shelf sensors combined with an affordable potentiostat and yet is sensitive enough for small ligand binding.
