摘要: 为了分析人体挥发性气味分子(人体VOCs)的种类和浓度变化, 本研究开发了一种基于蚊子气味结合蛋白(OBPs)修饰的硅纳米线(SiNW)阵列化电子鼻, 实现了人体VOCs的实时与高灵敏检测。当修饰在SiNW表面上的OBPs与人体VOCs结合时, 引起了OBPs的构象变化, 在SiNW表面产生电场变化, 从而导致电路检测电流变化, 完成了人体VOCs的实时检测分析。同时, 通过圆二色谱技术, 检测到VOCs和OBPs结合导致的蛋白构象变化, 证明了构建人工电子鼻的生化可行性。本研究设计的电子鼻具有灵敏度高与选择性强的特点, 最低可检测到5ppb人体VOCs分子, 不同种类的OBPs识别人体VOCs具有明显的选择性, 且SiNW阵列器件与互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)兼容性高, 可通过自上而下的制造方法批量制备, 本研究为将来开发可定制型人体气味电子鼻提供了重要的生化和器件基础。Abstract: In order to analyze the type and concentration of human volatile odorant molecules (human VOCs), this study developed a silicon nanowire (SiNW) array electronic nose based on mosquito odorant binding proteins (OBPs) modified to achieve real-time and highly sensitive detection to human VOCs. The OBPs were modified on the surface of SiNW to recognise human VOCs, which caused the change of OBPs' conformation, and then the change of electric field on the SiNW surface. Finally, the device recorded all the current changes and achieved the real-time detection and analysis of human VOCs. Importantly, through circular dichroism, the conformation changes caused by the combination of VOCs and OBPs were detected, which proved the biochemical feasibility of constructing artificial electronic nose. The electronic nose designed in this study has the characteristics of high sensitivity and selectivity. It can detect human VOCs molecules at 5ppb and different types of modified OBPs have obvious selectivity for human VOCs. SiNW array devices are highly compatible with complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) and can be prepared in batches using top-down manufacturing methods. This study develops customizable human odorant electronic noses for the future and provides an important biochemical and device foundation.
