A biosensor for estrogenic substances using the quartz crystal microbalance.

Abstract excerpt

This article describes a biosensor that detects estrogenic substances using a quartz crystal microbalance with a genetically engineered construct of the hormone-binding domain of the alpha-estrogen receptor. The receptor was immobilized to a piezoelectric quartz crystal via a single exposed cysteine, forming a uniform orientation on the crystal surface. Our results illustrate that this sensor responds to a...
