Sensor for cell signaling proteins.
Thiolated cyclodextrins have been shown to be useful as modifiers of electrode surfaces for application in electrochemical sensing. The adsorption of three different thiolated {beta}-cyclodextrin ({beta}-CD) derivatives onto gold (Au) electrodes was studied by monitoring ferricyanide reduction and ferrocene carboxylic acid (FCA) oxidation at the electrode surface using cyclic voltammetry. Electrodes modified with the {beta}-CD MJF-69 derivative bound FCA within the CD cavity. The monolayer acted as a conducting layer with an increase in the oxidation current. On the other hand, the {beta}-CD layer inhibited the reduction of ferricyanide at the electrode surface since ferricyanide is larger than the cavity of the {beta}-CD derivative and thus unable to form an inclusion complex.
