Abstract
In this study, we developed a capacitive sensor for the one-step and label-free detection of protein kinase A (PKA) enzyme. Metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) and electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) are a simple electronic transducer, which allows efficient detection of the target analyte. For this reason, we performed a comparative sensing of PKA on the MIS and EIS capacitive sensor. The PKA-specific aptamer was used for the one-step detection. For the immobilization of thiolated aptamer, the MIS sensor contained a thin gold layer, whereas the EIS sensor had a self-aligned monolayer of gold nanoparticles. The interaction of aptamer and PKA changed the charge and density of the sensor surface. The quantitative detection of PKA was performed by analyzing the capacitance-voltage curve after the aptamer-PKA interaction. The MIS and EIS sensor showed a detection limit of 5 U/mL and 1 U/mL, respectively, for the detection of PKA. This study suggests valuable sensing platforms for the rapid and sensitive biochemical diagnosis.
