Single-Molecule Bioelectronic Sensors with AI-Aided Data Analysis: Convergence and Challenges.

Single-molecule bioelectronic sensing, a groundbreaking domain in biological research, has revolutionized our understanding of molecules by revealing deep insights into fundamental biological processes. The advent of emergent technologies, such as nanogapped electrodes and nanopores, has greatly enhanced this field, providing exceptional sensitivity, resolution, and integration capabilities. However, challenges persist, such as complex data sets with high noise levels and stochastic molecular dynamics. Artificial intelligence (AI) has stepped in to address these issues with its powerful data processing capabilities. AI algorithms effectively extract meaningful features, detect subtle changes, improve signal-to-noise ratios, and uncover hidden patterns in massive data. This review explores the synergy between AI and single-molecule bioelectronic sensing, focusing on how AI enhances signal processing and data analysis to boost accuracy and reliability. We also discuss current limitations and future directions for integrating AI, highlighting its potential to advance biological research and technological innovation.
