Abstract
The first example of an all-organic oligofluorene truxene based distributed feedback laser for the detection of a specific protein–small molecule interaction is reported. The protein avidin was detected down to 1 μg mL -1 using our biotin-labelled biosensor platform. This interaction was both selective and reversible when biotin was replaced with desthiobiotin. Avidin detection was not perturbed by Bovine Serum Albumin up to 50; 000 μg mL -1. Our biosensor offers a new detection platform that is both highly sensitive, modular and potentially re-usable.
