Adv Mater. 2014 Jan 22;26(3):482-6. doi: 10.1002/adma.201303075. Epub 2013 Oct 20.

Abstract

An on/off-switchable graphene-based zipper-like interface is architectured for efficient bioelectrocatalysis. The graphene interface transduces a temperature input signal into structural changes of the membrane, resulting in the amplification of electrochemical signals and their transformation into the gated transport of molecules through the membrane.

Keywords: bioelectrocatalysis; graphene; smart interface; switchable bioelectronics.
