Molecular Shape-Preserving Au Electrode for Progesterone Detection.

ABSTRACT: Quantifying progesterone levels in the body is an important indicator of early pregnancy and health. Molecular shape-preserving electrodes have garnered attention in electrochemical biosensors because they can detect targets without the need for expensive enzymes or antibodies. However, some of the currently used methods typically have low electrode durability. Here, progesterone, for which antibodies are typically expensive, was used to develop a molecular shape-preserving electrode using Au to enhance its long-term stability. The physical properties of the electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the electrochemical surface area (ECSA), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The specific structure of the electrode demonstrated an electrochemical double layer comparab
