Background:

  • Human olfactory receptor proteins are crucial for detecting volatile compounds.
  • Developing selective and sensitive gas sensors is an ongoing challenge.
  • Mimicking biological recognition mechanisms offers a promising approach for novel sensor design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize peptides that partially mimic the binding sites of human olfactory receptor proteins.
  • To design and evaluate peptide-based gas sensing probes for specific volatile organic compounds.

  • Design and synthesis of specific polypeptide sequences (horp61, horp103, horp109, horp193) as gas sensing probes.

    • Main Results:

    • Peptide probes horp61, horp103, horp109, and horp193 were designed based on simulated binding sites.
    • High relative sensitivity responses were observed: 6.7 for trimethylamine (horp61), 5.1 for o-xylene (horp103), 11 for ammonia (horp109), and 28 for acetic acid (horp193).
    • The study successfully demonstrated the feasibility of using peptide mimics for gas detection.

    Conclusions:

    • Peptide mimicking of olfactory receptor binding domains provides a novel strategy for gas sensor development.
    • The designed peptide probes exhibit significant sensitivity and selectivity towards target gases.
