  • Publication number: 20180003705
    Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is provided that has enhanced sensitivity. The sensor's plasmonic chip has intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) that undergo enzyme-free folding upon binding to an analyte. This binding results in a detectable change in refractive index and thereby permits detection of the analyte.
