d-(+)-Galactose-Conjugated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes as New Chemical Probes for Electrochemical Biosensors for the Cancer Marker Galectin-3

Abstract: d-(+)-Galactose-conjugated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized for use as biosensors to detect the cancer marker galectin-3. To investigate the binding of galectin-3 to the d-(+)-galactose-conjugated SWCNTs, an electrochemical biosensor was fabricated by using molybdenum electrodes. The binding affinities of the conjugated SWCNTs to galectin-3 were quantified using electrochemical sensitivity measurements based on the differences in resistance together with typical I-V characterization.

“…Park et al , immobilized D-(+)-galactose on SWCNTs functionalized with –COCl without causing any major structural alterations in the nanomaterials [76]. The D-(+)-galactose conjugated SWCNTs were then dropped onto the surface of a SiO 2 substrate to fabricate molybdenum (Mo) electrodes that were used in the prepared electrochemical biosensor for the detection of galectin-3, a cancer marker.…”

“…The D-(+)-galactose conjugated SWCNTs were then dropped onto the surface of a SiO 2 substrate to fabricate molybdenum (Mo) electrodes that were used in the prepared electrochemical biosensor for the detection of galectin-3, a cancer marker. The electrochemical response of the D-(+)-galactose-conjugated SWCNTs differed significantly between the samples with and without galectin-3 [76]. Therefore, these modified CNTs can potentially be useful in electrochemical biosensors for the detection of galectin-3.…”

“…High level of circulating galectin-3, a β-galactoside-binding protein, is correlated with an increased potential for malignancy. Park et al [ 60 ] constructed a FET biosensor to detect galectin-3 using d -(+)-galactose-conjugated SWCNTs as chemical probes. The sensing platform was prepared by drop casting SWCNTs linked with d -(+)-galactose on a Mo electrode prepatterned SiO 2 substrate, printed using conventional photolithography.…”
