Human bitter taste receptor functionalized-swCNT-FETas a human tongue like-artificial taste sensor

초록

영어

Artificial taste sensors, so called ‘electronic tongues’, are normally used in food and beverage industry. Usually those electronic tongues utilize synthetic materials but cannot mimic the biological features of the human tongue. To overcome these limitations, we applied biological human taste receptor to the development of artificial taste sensor. Here, we demonstrated human bitter taste receptor, hTAS2R38, produced from E.
coli-functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube (swCNT)-field effect transistor (FET) can detect target tastant with high selectivity and sencitivity. Each taster (PAV) and non-taster (AVI) haprotype of human bitter taste receptor genes, hTAS2R38, were cloned into bacterial expression vector and expressed in E. coli at high-level. The receptors were then immobilized on swCNT-FET sensor platform and stimulated by various tastants. The taster haplotype (PAV) of hTAS2R38 on swCNT-FET responded to bitterness compounds, phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and propylthiouracil (PROP), with high sensitivity up to concentration as low as 100 fM but non-taster haplotype (AVI) did not. This artificial taste sensor showed very similar to performance with human taste system.
