Electrochemically grafted gallic acid-chitosan: a metal-free in situ redox platform for regiospecific oligopeptide-viral spike protein interaction†
Abstract
Electrochemical grafting of gallic acid with chitosan (EgGC) voltammetrically deposited on a multitude of substrates exhibiting reversible oxidoreduction suitable for sensor construction is reported. A bioreceptor customized from the fragment antigen binding region of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies immobilized on an EgGC matrix supported the selective/specific electrochemical signal transduction with respect to different viral loads (femtogram level) of SARS-CoV-2.
