In recent years, numerous aptamers have been physisorbed on graphene oxide (GO) to develop fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based aptasensors using the fluorescence quenching property of GO. However, physisorbed aptasensors show poor signal reversibility and reproducibility as well as nonspecific probe displacement, and thereby are not suitable for many analytical applications. To overcome these problems when working with complex biological samples, we developed a facile and robust covalent surface functionalization technique for GO-based fluorescent aptasensors using a well-studied adenosine triphosphate binding aptamer (ABA). In the scheme, GO is first modified with amino-silane, and further with glutaraldehyde to create available carbonyl groups for the covalent attachment of a fluorophore and an amino dual modified ABA. The surface modification method was characterized by zeta-potential, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The linearity, sensitivity, selectivity, and reversibility of the resulting GO-based covalent aptasensor was determined and systematically compared with the physisorbed aptasensor. Although both sensors showed similar performance in terms of sensitivity and linearity, better selectivity and higher resistance to nonspecific probe displacement was achieved with the developed covalent ABA sensor. The surface modification technique developed here is independent of the aptamer sequence, and therefore could be used universally for different analytical applications simply by changing the aptamer sequence for the target biomolecule.

Active Janus Particles at Interfaces of Liquid Crystals Mangal, Rahul; Nayani, Karthik; Kim, Young-Ki; Büküşoğlu, Emre; Cordova-Figueroa, Ubaldo M.; Abbott, Nicholas. L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-10-17) We report an investigation of the active motion of silica palladium Janus particles (JPs) adsorbed at interfaces formed between nematic liquid crystals (LCs) and aqueous phases containing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In comparison to isotropic oil aqueous interfaces, we observe the elasticity and anisotropic viscosity of the nematic phase to change qualitatively the active motion of the JPs at the LC interfaces. Although contact line pinning on the surface of the JPs is observed. to restrict out-of-plane rotat...
Encapsulated Hydrogels by E-beam Lithography and Their Use in Enzyme Cascade Reactions Mancini, Rock J.; Paluck, Samantha J.; Bat, Erhan; Maynard, Heather D. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-04-26) Electron beam (e-beam) lithography was employed to prepare one protein immobilized hydrogel encapsulated inside another by first fabricating protein-reactive hydrogels of orthogonal reactivity and subsequently conjugating the biomolecules. Exposure of thin films of eight arm star poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) functionalized with biotin (Biotin PEG), alkyne (Alkyne-PEG) or aminooxy (AO-PEG) end groups to e-beam radiation resulted in cross-linked hydrogels with the respective functionality. It was determined vi...
Effect of low-energy electron irradiation on (Bi, Pb)-2212 superconductors Ogun, SE; Goktas, H; Ozkan, H; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Elsevier BV, 2005-06-22) The effect of low-energy electron irradiation on the properties of the Bi-based superconductors is studied. Two sets of polycrystalline (Bi, Pb)-2212 samples were synthesized by heating the appropriate mixtures of powders at 840 degrees C for 100 h, then quenched or furnace cooled to room temperature. The samples were irradiated by low-energy (1-10 keV), pulsed (20 ns) electron beam up to a dose of 6.2 x 10(15) cm(-2). X- ray diffraction patterns, resistance-temperature behaviours, critical currents, and mi...
Enhancement of H-2 Storage in Carbon Nanotubes via Doping with a Boron Nitride Ring Onay, Aytun Koyuncular; Erkoç, Şakir (American Scientific Publishers, 2009-04-01) Hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes with different chirality have been investigated by performing quantum chemical methods at semiempirical and DFT levels of calculations. It has been found that boron nitrite substitutional doping increases the hydrogen storage capacity of carbon nanotubes.
Study of high radio frequency plasma discharge effects on carbon fiber using Raman spectroscopy Akbar, D.; Erözbek Güngör, Ümmügül (Elsevier BV, 2014-02-15) The goal of this research is to evaluate the potential of single and dual high RF reactors for the treatment of carbon fiber by Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies. Unsized poly-acrylonitrile (PAN) carbon fiber was treated with single high frequency (40.68 MHz) and double radio frequency capacitively coupled plasma (RF-CCP) discharge reactor (40.68/2.1 MHz) using pure nitrogen gas. The changes in the structure of the carbon fiber surfaces due to the variations of the D and G band intensity ratio (I-D/I-G), cryst...
