Abstract:
Oligophenylethynylene thiol containing carboxylic acid in the tail group as a conducting wire bioreceptor was synthesized, and then its electrical property was investigated from the measurement of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) consisting of 4-(2-(4-acetylthio)phenyl)ethynyl) benzoic acid (APBA) and butanethiol was fabricated in order to improve the electrical conductivity owing to the molecular orientation. We have examined the molecular orientation and the electrochemical activity of mixed SAM via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Especially, the prepared mixed SAM used as a bioreceptor in electrochemical prostate specific antigen (PSA) immunosensor showed higher electrochemical activity than that of the other SAMs.
