Abstract

Five fluorescent positively charged poly(-aryleneethynylene) (-) were designed to construct electrostatic complexes - with negatively charged graphene oxide (). The fluorescence of conjugated polymers was quenched by the quencher . Three electrostatic complexes were enough to distinguish between 12 proteins with 100% accuracy. Furthermore, using these sensor arrays, we could identify the levels of β40 and Aβ42 aggregates (monomers, oligomers, and fibrils) employing machine learning algorithms, making it an attractive strategy for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
