To do this, they «chemically assembled a series of double - dot SETs by anchoring two
gold nanoparticles between the nanogap electrodes with alkanedithiol molecules to form a self - assembled monolayer,» explained Yutaka Majima, a professor in the Materials and Structures Laboratory at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Gold nanoparticles provide bigger surface area for the affinity interactions
between the antibody - antigen and thus enhance the translated signal, while the antifouling molecules help to resist the non-specific adsorption of unwanted proteins from serum onto the transducer surface.
