Bioinspired Synthesis of ZnO@polydopamine/Au for Label-Free Photoelectrochemical Immunoassay of Amyloid-β Protein

Amyloid-β protein (Aβ) is an important biomarker and plays a key role in the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, an ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on ZnO@polydopamine/Au nanocomposites was constructed for quantitative detection of Aβ. In this sensing system, the Zn...

Bioinspired Synthesis of ZnO@polydopamine/Au for Label-Free Photoelectrochemical Immunoassay of Amyloid-β Protein
description Amyloid-β protein (Aβ) is an important biomarker and plays a key role in the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

This work may provide a promising point-of-care testing method toward advanced PEC immunoassays for AD biomarkers.
