Intermolecular bonding configuration

The FABS, whose working principle was very similar to that of the AFM biosensor, was a cantilever-based immunosensor [7]. However, its configuration was much simpler than that of the AFM. Rather than using a piezoceramic translator to pull on intermolecular bonds, it used magnetic particles, which eliminated the need to manually position a tip and sample next to each other with picometer precision and stability. The cantilever-beam force transducer was the only element of the AFM retained by the FABS. 

Proteins, being the constructive components in living cells, are the second-most abundant biopolymers in nature. Proteins are composed of combinations of 20 different amino acids these amino acids contain reactive functional groups such as —NHj, —COOH, —SH, and —OH. These groups bring about intermolecular bonds, leading to a-helices or p-sheets, or both configurations. 

Since the individual molecules are of the same size and shape, with similar polarities and other electronic configurations, their ideal intermolecular bondings and formation of co-pigments can lead to a synergistic effect, resulting in better performance than from the corresponding individual molecules. 

The geometric configuration of the polymerised C o on the CNT may be predicted from the interfacial structure of Csq/CNT. Further investigations are required on the details of the intermolecular bonding of the polymerised Ceo and the interfacial polymerisation between Cgo and CNT.
