Functionalization of graphene with 1-pyrenebutanoic acid succinimidyl ester (PASE), followed with IGA3 (aptamer) functionalization through a Schiff-base reaction. Upon binding to insulin, the aptamer complexes form both parallel and antiparallel G-quadruplexes, bringing the aptamer–insulin complex closer to the surface of graphene.
