By gravimetric measurements using a quartz cristal microbalance (QCM), we have studied the immobilization of biotinylated glucose oxidase enzymes (B-GOx) bound through on an intermediate avidin layer to a biotinylated polypyrrole film. The aim is to assess the amount of B-GOx specifically anchored on the biotinylated polypyrrole/avidin assembly thank to the biotin/avidin interaction between avidin and B-GOx. Indeed the estimated amount from the QCM measurement corresponds to the specific recognition of avidin/B-GOx added to a non-specific recognition (adsorption) of B-GOx. In order to discriminate these two phenomena, we have carried out a study by QCM of the anchoring of B-GOx on an avidin layer linked by adsorption to a polypyrrole free from biotin units. From QCM measurements we have deduced for the biotinylated polypyrrole/avidin assembly that the amount of B-GOx bound via the biotin/avidin interaction and those due to the avidin adsorption process correspond to 3.9 pmol cm(-2) (1.3 equivalent of B-Gox monolayer) and 1.4 pmol cm(-2) (0.46 equivalent of B-GOx monolayer) respectively. These values have been corroborated by measurements of the enzymatic activity of GOx.

Electrical stimulus-responsive drug delivery from conducting polymers such as polypyrrole (PPy) has been limited by lack of versatile polymerization techniques and limitations in drug-loading strategies. In the present study, we report an chemical polymerization technique for incorporation of biotin, as the doping agent, to establish electrosensitive drug release from PPy-coated substrates. Aligned electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers were used as a substrate for the PPy-coating and basic fibroblast growth factor and nerve growth factor were the model growth factors demonstrated for potential applications in musculoskeletal tissue regeneration.

Mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs), containing proteins or microRNAs (miRNAs), possessing various biological activity and low immunogenicity, are considered promising for surface modification of bone grafts. However, the modification efficiency is not satisfied yet, resulting in compromised therapy effects. Here, we report a novel immobilized method by self-assembling biotinylated MSC-EVs onto the surface of biotin-doped polypyrrole titanium (Bio-Ppy-Ti) to improve its biofunctions in vitro and in vivo.

Recent developments in genomic and molecular methods have revolutionized the range of utilities of tumor-associated circulating biomarkers in both basic and clinical research. Herein, we present a novel approach for ultrasensitive extraction of cfDNA and CTCs, at high yield and purity, via the formation of magnetic nanowire networks. We fabricated and characterized biotinylated cationic polyethylenimine and biotinylated antibody cocktail-conjugated magnetic polypyrrole NWs (PEI/mPpy NW and Ab cocktail/mPpy NW, respectively).

Fundamental understanding of interactions at the interface of biological molecules, such as proteins, and nanomaterials is crucial for developing various biocompatible hybrid materials and biosensing platforms. Biosensors comprising of graphene-based conductive nanomaterials offer the advantage of higher sensitivity and reliable diagnosis mainly due to their superior specific surface area and ballistic conductivity. Furthermore, conductive nanocomposite structures that immobilize proteins can synergize the properties of both transducers and molecular recognition elements improving the performance of the biosensing device.
