The Virus BioResistor (VBR) is a biosensor capable of rapid and sensitive detection of small protein disease markers using a simple dip-and-read modality. For example, the bladder cancer-associated protein DJ-1 (22 kDa) can be detected in human urine within 1.0 min with a limit of detection (LOD) of 10 pM. The VBR uses engineered virus particles as receptors to recognize and selectively bind the protein of interest. These virus particles are entrained in a conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT channel. The electrical impedance of the channel increases when the target protein is bound by the virus particles. But VBRs exhibit a sensitivity that is inversely related to the molecular weight of the protein target. Thus, large proteins, such as IgG antibodies (150 kDa), can be undetectable even at high concentrations. We demonstrate that the electrochemical overoxidation of the VBR's PEDOT channel increases its electrical impedance, conferring enhanced sensitivity for both small and large proteins. Overoxidation makes possible the detection of two antibodies, undetectable at a normal VBR, with a limit of detection of 40 ng/mL (250 pM), and a dynamic range for quantitation extending to 600 ng/mL.
