Integration of the Bionanomaterial Bacteriorhodopsin and Single Electron Transistors

Abstract

Innovation in sensing technology is necessary in order to decrease negative outcomes in the event of a chemical or biological exposure. The sensors currently used to detect chemical and biological agents are too bulky, complex, and costly. The thrusts of this research are to develop sensor technologies. The technologies developed would help create sensor arrays which are: lightweight, disposable, wireless, deployable by hand, and reconfigurable. This paper will present initial results on the development of technology for a sensing platform which incorporates a single electron transistor (SET) with bacteriorhopdin (bR).
