Sensors for biogenic substances have received great interest for use in early diagnosis and consultation. On page 4882, I. Hwang, K. Kim, J. H. Oh, and co-workers report highly sensitive organic-transistor-based sensors functionalized with a synthetic receptor, a cucurbit[6]uril derivative that can selectively detect a neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This work describes a viable methodology for the fabrication of high-performance biosensors without enzyme immobilization.
