  4. I. Motivation Chromogranin A (CgA) • Acidic secretory protein, pI ~ 4.5 • Molecular Weight ~ 50 k Da • ＣgA is very abundant in neuron and neuronendocrine cells and is co-released with neurotransmitters during the synaptic transmission process. => CgA level released by neuronal cells can refer to the neuronal activity. Medical application: 1. Neuroendocrine tumor 2. Neurodegenerative disease

  5. I. Motivation Advantage of NW/NT-FET: • High sensitivity (theoretical limit = 1 fM) • High selectivity • Label-free detection • In-situ detection Recent research goal: • Improving the performance • Medical application : virus, cancer marker, and Hereditary hemochromatosis.

  15. V. Molecular recognition and detection of CgA Sensing mechanism Chemical gating effect： Since the low isoelectric point of CgAP (pI ~ 4.5), CgA is negatively charged in PBS buffer at pH = 7.4. p-type vs. CgA Thining the Schottky barrier ：

  17. V. Molecular recognition and detection of CgA Synaptic transmission vesicle receptor

  18. V. Molecular recognition and detection of CgA In-situ detection of CgA released by neuronal cells

  19. VI. Summery • From the molecular experiment of CgAP and its antibody, we achieve the detection limit ~ 1nM, which is sufficient for typical diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumor (~ 2 nM). The sensing mechanism was thought to be the combination of chemical gating effect and Schottky barrier thining. • Our study has demonstrated that CgA released from the synaptic terminal of neurons can be detected directly with high selectivity and sensitivity by CgA-Ab modified SWNT-FET. • This sensing technique can further be applied to study the activity of an individual neuron, which should open a new window to understand the neurophysiology in neuronal network.
