An ATP-responsive smart gate fabricated with a graphene oxide-aptamer-nanochannel architecture

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 14;51(4):640-3. doi: 10.1039/c4cc07990f.

Abstract

Here, we report a graphene oxide-aptamer-nanochannel architecture for the fabrication of a novel stimuli-responsive gate. The gate is switched OFF in the absence of ATP, and is switched ON when ATP is present. The concept we proposed may contribute to a versatile platform for the development of stimuli-responsive gates.
