Abstract

The detection of several different neurotransmitters with the same sensor in real-time would be a powerful asset to the field of neurochemistry. We have developed a detector for a broad range of neurotransmitters including amino acids, catecholamines, and nucleotides, which relies on the reversible binding of the analytes to a copper(II) complex within an engineered protein nanopore.
