Fig. 5: QMT detection of streptavidin, BSA and IgG.

a Representative conductance–time traces for a solution consisting of 10 nM of proteins using a tunnelling junction with a gap width of ~1.8 nm and an applied bias of 100 mV. b–d Scatter plots of change in conductance versus duration for transients associated with streptavidin, BSA, and IgG. e Normalised histogram of the change in conductance for the three proteins highlighting a clear difference in amplitude of the transients.
