The concept of a microfabricated biosensor for environmental and biomedical monitoring applications which is composed of environmentally benign components is presented. With a built-in power source (the biological fuel ATP) and driven by biological motors (kinesin), sensing in the microdevice can be remotely activated and the presence of a target molecule or toxin remotely detected. The multifaceted progress towards the realization of such a device is described.
本文介绍了一种用于环境和生物医学监测应用的微制造生物传感器的概念,该传感器由环境友好型组件组成。通过内置电源(生物燃料三磷酸腺苷)并由生物马达(驱动蛋白)驱动,微设备中的传感可以远程激活,目标分子或毒素的存在也可以远程检测。文中描述了在实现这种设备方面取得的多方面进展。
