Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEach organism has a unique sequence of nitrogenous bases in in the form of DNA or RNA which distinguish them from other organisms. This characteristic makes nucleic acid-based detection extremely selective and compare to other molecular techniques. In recent years, several nucleic acid-based detection technology methods have been developed, one of which is the electrochemical biosensor. Electrochemical biosensors are known to have high sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, the ease of miniaturization of this el...

Clinical validation of electrochemical biosensor for the detection of methylglyoxal in subjects with type-2 diabetes mellitus
This study was designed to determine the utility of the developed electrochemical biosensor to measure the level of MG in human plasma from type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. Electrochemical studies were carried out with optimized experimental parameters using the modified Platinum-electrode. Subsequently, clinical studies using 350 blood plasma samples were conducted and the results were validated against the ELISA kit, Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT), and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). The MG sensor exhibited a linear range of 1.0-7.5 μM concentration with a sensitivity of 1.02 mA µM-1, a limit of detection of 0.21 Â...

Proximity hybridization induced bipedal DNA walker and rolling circle amplification for label-free electrochemical detection of apolipoprotein A4
Bioelectrochemistry. 2023 Nov 2;155:108596. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108596. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApolipoprotein A4 (Apo-A4) is considered as a prospective molecular biomarker for diagnosis of depression due to its neurosynaptic toxicity. We develop a proximity hybridization-induced DNAzyme-driven bipedal DNA walker strategy for Apo-A4 quantification based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) triggered by poly adenine binding to Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs). With the help of DNAzyme, the free-running bipedal DNA walker can quickly and sequentially shear a molecular beacon that acts as a primer to initiate the R...

Evaluation of a comprehensive power management system with maximum power point tracking algorithm for multiple microbial fuel cell energy harvesting
This study presents a comprehensive power management system (PMS) capable of tracking the maximum power point (MPP) and harvesting the energy from up to five microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The harvested energy from the MFCs was used to power the electronics, and in cases where this power was insufficient, alternative backup power options can be used. The voltage can be increased up to 3.3 V, and a hysteresis-based control approach was utilised to regulate the output voltage. The MPP of each MFC was determined using a variable step size incremental conductance algorithm that controls the duty cycle of the synchronous boost co...

Electromechanical interactions between cell membrane and nuclear envelope: Beyond the standard Schwan's model of biological cells
Bioelectrochemistry. 2023 Oct 4;155:108583. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2023.108583. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe investigate little-appreciated features of the hierarchical core-shell (CS) models of the electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical interactions between the cell membrane (CM) and nuclear envelope (NE). We first consider a simple model of an individual cell based on a coupled resistor-capacitor (Schwan model (SM)) network and show that the CM, when exposed to ac electric fields, acts as a low pass filter while the NE acts as a wide and asymmetric bandpass filter. We provide a simplified calculation for ch...
