a The three-dimensional schematic structure of the electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors used for single-molecule detection along with the sketches of the proteins used. b Output characteristics (ID vs. VD, with VG ranging from 0 to − 0.5 V in steps of − 0.05) measured with a gold-plated Kapton gate. c Transfer characteristics (ID vs. VG ranging from 0.1 to − 0.5 V at constant VD = − 0.4 V) for a gold plate gate before and after the measurement of the dose response curve (red and blue line respectively) and for an anti-HIV-1 p24-functionalized gate (black curve)
