LOCALIZED SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE SENSING OF HUMAN PERFORMANCE BIOMARKERS USING SHORT PEPTIDE RECOGNITION ELEMENTS ON OPTICALLY ACTIVE METAL NANOSTRUCTURES

摘要

A biomarker sensor using short peptide recognition elements. The biomarker sensor includes a substrate and a metallic layer on a surface of that substrate that is localized surface plasmon resonance reactive. A receptor layer on the surface of the metallic layer (the surface opposing the substrate) is configured to selectively bind a biomarker and has a thickness less than about 15 nm.
