Molecularly imprinted composite-based biosensor for the determination of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein
This article aims to present a comparative study of three polypyrrole-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) systems for the detection of the recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleocapsid protein (rN). The rN is known for its relatively low propensity to mutate compared to other SARS-CoV-2 antigens. The aforementioned systems include screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCE) modified with gold nanostructures (MIP1), platinum nanostructures (MIP2), and the unmodified SPCE (MIP3), which was used for control. Pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) was employed as the detection technique, ...
