Abstract

The invention pertains to an electrically conductive copolymer of the general formula I: ##STR1## wherein PA0 A is a first polymerizable monomer which produces an electrically conductive polymer when polymerized, and represents a polymerized unit of said monomer A in the electrically conductive polymer; PA0 B is a second polymerizable monomer which when copolymerized with monomer A produces an electrically conductive polymer, and represents a polymerized unit of said monomer B in the electrically conductive polymer; PA0 w is an integer greater than or equal to 0; PA0 x is an integer greater than or equal to 1; PA0 y is an integer greater than or equal to 0; PA0 z is an integer greater than or equal to I; PA0 1.sub.1, and 1.sub.2 are each independently covalent linkers or spacer arms; PA0 1.sub.3 is substituent group having a desired chemical functionality; and PA0 Bt' is selected from the group consisting of biotin and complexes of biotin with a molecule selected from the group consisting of avidin, streptavidin, derivatives of avidin and derivatives of streptavidin, wherein said avidin, streptavidin, derivatives of avidin or derivatives of streptavidin may optionally be substitute…
