Abstract

We have developed a powerful biosensing strategy for immobilizing histidine-tagged (His-Tag)-oriented recombinant nano-protein immobilization on a chemically modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) surfaces via (S)-N-(5-amino-1-carboxypentyl)iminodiacetic acid (ANTA) acting as a chelating Ni2' centered interaction. Here, we introduce a label-free electro-sensor to quantify cortisol levels in saliva samples for point-of-care testing (POCT). The high specificity of the chemically modified GCE was established by genetically bio-engineered metal-binding sites on the selected recombinant apoferritin (R-AFTN) nano protein to impart functionality to its surface and by coating the carbon surface with the self assembled monolayers of 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) attached to ANTA groups complexed with Ni2' transition metal ions. Despite the variety of conventional assays available to monitor cortisol levels, they require bulky exterior outfits, which hinders use in the healthcare systems. Therefore, we performed a rapid, easy-to-implement, and low-cost quantitative electro-sensor to enable the real-time detection of cortisol levels in saliva samples. As a result, the cortisol electro-sensor fabricated with high specificity utilizing a GCE could measure cortisol levels with a detection limit of 0.95 ng/ml and sensitivity of 7.91 lA/ (ng/mL), which is a practical approach in human saliva. Thus, protein nanoprobe-based cortisol biosensing showed high sensitivity and selectivity for the direct electro-sensing of cortisol for POCT.(c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
