A Novel Bi-Enzyme System for Amperometric Biosensing of Plant Volatiles

这个项目的目标是开发一种电化学生物传感系统来检测植物释放的挥发性化合物。植物的挥发性化学特征携带着独特的信息，有助于识别植物的健康状况。对这一特征的检测可以促进我们对植物语言的理解。并最终将有助于大规模农业实时健康监测系统的发展。这项工作将材料科学、生物化学和电化学相结合，开发了一种用于安培生物传感的非结构化平台。这项工作的成功完成将产生一种新型的基于双酶的电化学生物传感器，具有可调谐的特性。本项目中开发的杂化复合纳米材料界面将提供多重好处，并可应用于其他生物电化学系统。拟议的工作将直接影响农林领域。该项目还将对基于酶的生物传感器的开发产生更广泛的影响。拟议的项目将为研究生、本科生和博士后提供教育和培训。该项目的成果将通过会议报告、研讨会和科学出版物广泛传播。拟议的外联活动将对乔治亚州的高中生产生社会影响。

1159540RamasamyThe goal of this project is to develop an electrochemical biosensing system to detect a volatilecompound released by plants. The volatile chemical signature of plants carries uniqueinformation that can be helpful in the identification of the state-of-heath of the plant. Detection ofthis signature can advance our understanding of the ?plant language? and will eventually help inthe development of real-time health monitoring systems for large-scale agriculture. Theproposed work integrates material science, biochemistry and electrochemistry to develop ananostructured platform for amperometric biosensing. Successful completion of the proposedwork will result in a novel bi-enzyme based electrochemical biosensor with tunable properties.The hybrid composite nanomaterial interfaces to be developed in this project will providemultiple benefits and can be applied to other bio-electrochemical systems. The proposed workwill directly impact the field of agriculture and forestry. The project will also have broaderinfluence in the development of enzyme-based biosensors. The proposed project will provideeducation and training for graduate and undergraduate students and post-docs. Results fromthe project will be broadly disseminated through conference presentations, seminars andscientific publications. The proposed outreach activities will provide a social impact on the highschool students in the state of Georgia.
