Abstract

To integrate antifouling properties and good sensitivity on the sensing interface can improve the applicability of an electrochemical immunosensor. These functional regions can be integrated into a single functional peptide (functPP). The rational designed three domains in functPP were the anchoring, antifouling and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) recognizing domains. Meanwhile, the ordered AuNPs inspired by C15H23CO-RRRRR can be recognized by AuNPs recognizing domains in functPP to enhance the intensity of detecting current. In the sensing system, the anchoring domain in functPP can be immobilized on the Au electrode by AuS interaction, while the antifouling domain undergoes strong hydration with water molecules to resist matrices, and the recognizing domains can directionally capture O-AuNPs to form a functPP-O-AuNPs complex as the core sensing element. Consequently, the complex bound to the monoclonal Antibodies against zearalenone by electrostatic adsorption to develop a highly antifouling and sensitive biosensor with the ability to identify zearalenone in cereals.
