Abstract
Abstract Bioelectronic sensors are provided employing a thin surfactant polymeric electrically conducting layer to which may be bound members of specific binding pairs. Binding of an analyte or a reagent to the specific binding pair member layer may change the electrical, optical, or structural properties of the layer for measurement of analyte. The change in the polymeric layer provides for a sensitive measurement.
