Human olfactory receptor 17-40 as active part of a nanobiosensor: A microscopic investigation of its electrical properties
Eleonora Alfinito, Jean-Francois Millithaler, Lino Reggiani +2
Increasing attention has been recently devoted to protein-based nanobiosensors. The main reason is the huge number of possible technological applications, going from drug detection…
Charge transport in purple membrane monolayers: A sequential tunneling approach
Eleonora Alfinito, Jean-Francois Millithaler, Lino Reggiani
Current voltage (I-V) characteristics in proteins can be sensitive to conformational change induced by an external stimulus (photon, odour, etc.). This sensitivity can be used in m…
Olfactory receptors for a smell sensor: A comparative study of the electrical responses of rat I7 and human 17-40
E. Alfinito, J. -F. Millithaler, L. Reggiani
In this paper we explore relevant electrical properties of two olfactory receptors (ORs), one from rat OR I7 and the other from human OR 17-40, which are of interest for the realiz…
Charge transport and current fluctuations in bacteriorhodopsin based nanodevices
J. -F. Millithaler, E. Alfinito, L. Reggiani
We report on charge transport and current fluctuations in a single bacteriorhodpsin protein in a wide range of applied voltages covering direct and injection tunnelling regimes. Th…
